How our Bath fridge freezer collection service works
Book online or phone us explaining what the appliance type is where it’s located. We then give you a clear, up-front price. We tell you before we arrive, carry the fridge or freezer out, load up and leave the space clean.
A practical tip that matters more in Bath than most places: please empty and defrost the appliance before we arrive where you can. Carrying a dripping fridge freezer up a carpeted period staircase or through a shared Georgian hallway is in nobody’s interest – a dry appliance keeps the route clean and the neighbours happy.

Why choose us for a fridge removal in Bath
Bath is a beautiful city to live in, but an awkward one to move a fridge out of. Think of those typical Georgian townhouses that have been split into flats, or basement kitchens below pavement level. Then you have the spiral stairs, tall narrow front doors opening straight onto the street, permit parking, and hills. This can make a two-person carry feel like four.
What we can collect
Every type of domestic refrigeration: under-counter and larder fridges, fridge freezers, American-style units, upright freezers and chest freezers. We also take commercial and catering refrigeration – relevant in a city with as many cafés, restaurants, delis and guesthouses as Bath – including display fridges and catering units from business premises. Other bulky items can go in the same visit: mattresses, sofas, washing machines, general clutter.
Areas we cover around Bath
We collect fridges and freezers across all Bath postcodes, including:
The city centre, Bathwick, Widcombe, Bear Flat, Oldfield Park, Twerton, Southdown, Odd Down, Combe Down, Weston, Lansdown, Larkhall, Walcot, Batheaston, Bathampton, Bathford, Saltford, Keynsham, Peasedown St John, Timsbury, Radstock, Midsomer Norton, Corsham, Box and Bradford-on-Avon.
This is where local experience earns its keep. Plenty of Bath kitchens sit in basements or on upper floors of converted period buildings, reached by staircases that were never designed with an American-style fridge freezer in mind. Communal hallways in listed buildings need protecting, front doors open directly onto busy pavements, and residents’ parking zones mean the van can’t always sit right outside.
Our teams deal with all of this routinely – from a under-counter fridge in a Widcombe basement flat to a fridge freezer three floors up in a Lansdown townhouse, or a chest freezer in a garage in Combe Down. Tell us about the access when you book (floor, stairs, parking) and we’ll plan the collection around it.

Your other options for fridge removals in Bath – and where we fit
Being straight about the alternatives: Bath & North East Somerset Council runs a paid bulky waste collection, working to its own schedule, with items generally needing to be left accessible. If you’re buying a new appliance, some retailers will take the old one on delivery for a fee. And a working fridge in decent condition may be welcomed by local charities or find a buyer online.
Choose us when you want it gone fast, carried from wherever it is in the property, handled by a licensed team, and processed through authorised routes – with waste transfer notes where required.
We also offer rubbish removal, private bin collections, sofa removals, bed and mattress removals, garden clearances, and house clearances.
Why fridges need specialist disposal by a fully licensed waste contractor
A fridge isn’t ordinary bulky waste. The refrigerant gases and insulation foam inside it are classed as hazardous, and the law (the WEEE Regulations) requires them to be safely extracted at an authorised treatment facility before anything can be recycled. That’s why a fridge can’t go in a skip, can’t go out with the bins, and shouldn’t ever be handed to an unlicensed collector – if it ends up dumped in a lane out towards the Mendips or on the edge of the city, the householder can be held liable.
We’re a licensed waste carrier. Every appliance we collect in Bath goes through the correct treatment route: gases dealt with safely, metals and plastics recovered where possible, and working appliances considered for reuse where suitable. Specialist treatment does carry a cost, so an additional charge applies to fridges and freezers – we’ll confirm your full price clearly when you book.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Can you get a fridge out of a basement flat?
Yes. Below-pavement kitchens and basement flats are common across Bath and we collect from them regularly. Let us know the access details when booking and the team will come prepared.
Do I need to defrost the fridge first?
Ideally, yes — empty it and let it defrost before collection where possible. It makes the appliance safer to carry and avoids drips through your home, which matters on stairs and in period properties.
My building is listed / has a shared hallway — is that a problem?
No, but tell us in advance. The team takes care with communal areas and awkward access, and a defrosted, dry appliance helps keep shared hallways clean on the way out.
Why is there an extra charge for fridges?
Because fridges contain refrigerant gases that must be safely removed at an authorised treatment facility under the WEEE Regulations. That specialist processing costs more than standard waste, and we’ll always confirm your full price before you book.
Do you collect catering fridges from businesses in Bath?
Yes — cafés, restaurants, delis, guesthouses and offices included. We take commercial display fridges, catering units and chest freezers of all sizes.
How quickly can you collect a fridge in Bath?
Same-day collection is often available in Bath, subject to our schedule. Book online or call us and we’ll give you the earliest slot we can.
What happens to my old fridge?
It goes to an authorised treatment facility where the gases are safely extracted and materials recovered where possible. Appliances still in working order are considered for reuse where suitable.
