Pricing guide

Costs are driven by the callout, labour time and any materials or disposal allowances required for the job. Freestanding appliances with basic disconnects are generally simpler, while built‑in or hardwired units typically need extra care and labour. Fridge and freezer removals often involve regulated refrigerant handling and specialist disposal, which usually increases the overall scope.

  • Appliance type

    Domestic fridges and freezers that contain refrigerant usually require additional handling and disposal steps compared with simple freestanding units.

  • Built‑in or hardwired installation

    Integrated ovens, cooktops and dishwashers often need careful extraction and extra labour to avoid damage to joinery or wiring.

  • Access and handling difficulty

    Stairs, tight doorways, narrow site access or heavy items that need two people affect how long the job takes.

  • Callout, travel and timing

    The regional callout and the number of labour hours influence cost, and attendance outside standard hours is generally more expensive.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a licence to remove appliances?
Appliance specialists for this work are typically registered rather than licenced as a general rule. However, activities involving refrigerant recovery or other regulated trades may need a licensed or certified technician, so those parts of the job may be treated separately.
Will you disconnect gas, electrical or refrigerant?
Basic disconnects for freestanding appliances are usually included in the standard removal scope. Major gas isolation, plumbing or licensed refrigerant recovery is generally outside the base scope and is typically quoted or arranged separately.
Will you take the appliance away for disposal?
Transport and disposal are commonly covered within the materials allowance for standard freestanding removals. For fridges and freezers, specialist disposal or recovery contractors are often required, and you can usually specify if you do not want disposal handled.
How does access affect the removal time?
Restricted entry, multiple flights of stairs or heavy items that need two people typically make the work take longer and may need extra labour. Built‑in units or those requiring careful extraction also usually extend the job compared with straightforward freestanding removals.
How accurate is the instant estimate?
Our estimates are built from research across thousands of local jobs and real pricing data. Use them as a guide when speaking to appliance specialists — your actual quote will depend on your specific job.
How many quotes will I get?
We'll match you with up to 3 appliance specialists initially. If you'd like more options, you can request additional matches.
Do I pay anything to get quotes?
No — the service is 100% free for homeowners.
Why do you need photos?
Clear photos cut surprises and price blowouts, saving you money.
