About this service
What washing machine removal bristol actually looks like.
Replacing a washing machine is the same drill every time: the delivery driver won’t take the old one away, or they will for a fee and won’t disconnect it. A van pickup handles both. I turn up, unscrew the hose, drain the drum into a jug, get the transit bolts back in if I can find them, and get the old unit out to the van. Pricing’s per-item — I’ll give an estimate on the phone from the make and rough age, confirm on arrival, and load if you’re happy. No VAT, no call-out fee.
Disconnecting and draining
Washers hold a couple of litres of water in the drum and hoses even after the cycle finishes, which is why they leak across the kitchen floor if you just tip them forward. I bring a hose, a jug and towels. Transit bolts go back in if they’re still kicking around a drawer somewhere — saves the drum knocking about in the van. Freestanding units are out in ten minutes; integrated machines take a bit longer because the cabinet holds them in place with screws.
Where old washers go
Domestic washing machines are Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) — the motor, control board and drum metal need processing separately. I hold a UK waste carrier licence (CBDU445737) and the machine goes to a licensed WEEE facility. Waste transfer note on request if you want one for records.

Frequently asked
Washing Machine Removal Bristol— common questions.
How much is washing machine removal in Bristol?
Per-item pricing quoted on the phone and confirmed on arrival — usually in the same range as a fridge (£120). No VAT, no call-out fee.
Can you remove the old one when the new one’s delivered?
Yes — one of the most common bookings. Tell me the delivery slot when you enquire and I’ll line up the pickup around it.
What about integrated machines?
Fine — just takes a bit longer to unscrew from the cabinet. Flag it as integrated when you book so I bring the right bits.
