Moving a heavy fridge-freezer through a narrow kitchen or down a tight hallway in South Ribble can be a daunting task. Whether you are in a traditional terrace in Leyland or a modern home in Penwortham, we take the stress out of the process by collecting from any room. We are happy to come inside and do the lifting, therefore you do not have to struggle to get a bulky appliance to the pavement.
Our team is trained to navigate tight corners and doorways without scratching your walls or damaging your flooring. We provide an emergency same-day response where possible, which is perfect if your new appliance is arriving today and you need the old one gone fast. We take all styles of cooling units, including massive American fridges, chest freezers and standard under-counter models.

Half Van Load: Roughly 6 cubic yards. This is a comparable capacity to a standard builders’ skip but with no permit fees required.
Full Van Load: 12-14 cubic yards with an 800kg payload. Equivalent to roughly two standard skips, suitable for full kitchen rip-outs or house clearances.

Fridge Removal in Leyland: We cleared a large American style fridge from a kitchen with narrow access. With this in mind our team carefully navigated the unit through the property to avoid damaging the doorway.
Appliance Collection in Penwortham: We removed an old chest freezer from a basement. We handled all the heavy lifting up the stairs and provided the customer with a Waste Transfer Note on completion.
Emergency Removal in Bamber Bridge: A customer had a broken fridge and a new one arriving within hours. We provided a same-day collection via our Wait & Load service to ensure the driveway remained clear.

Q: Do I need to get the fridge to the ground floor?
A: No. Our two-man team will collect the item from wherever it is located, including upstairs kitchens or basement garages. We do all the heavy lifting so you do not have to.
Q: Do you take large American style fridges?
A: Yes. We have the specialist vehicles as well as tools to handle oversized American fridge-freezers. Our staff are also experts at maneuvering these large items through domestic properties safely.
Q: Is your disposal legal?
A: Absolutely. We are a fully Licensed Waste Carrier (CBDU409710). We provide a Waste Transfer Note with every job and 100% of fridges are de-gassed and processed at a licensed recycling centre.
Q: Does the council collect from inside my house?
A: No. Local councils generally provide a curbside-only service. This is often difficult for residents in South Ribble with terraced properties or those who cannot physically move heavy appliances to the pavement.
Q: I live on a narrow street, can you still help?
A: Yes. Our vans are much more mobile than skip lorries and can easily access tight residential roads. We know that parking in areas like central Leyland can be difficult, so we use a Wait & Load approach to avoid blocking the street.
Q: Can I take my own fridge to the local tip?
A: You can, but places like the Tom Benson Way or Buckingham Way sites often have long queues and strict rules. If you borrow a van to move it, you will likely be turned away without a pre-arranged van permit.
