Removal is three jobs, not one.

A 400V combi oven two floors up with no lift needs an electrician to isolate it, a hoist to get it down the stairwell, and two people on the handle. A firm that can only do the last one cannot do the job. Enter the collection postcode and the directory ranks the firms that can — and names the ones that cannot.

Ranking method
Straight-line distance between postcode-district centroids. No traffic model, no drive time — the number is a sort key, not an ETA.

Find a removal contractor

Contractors are ranked by distance from your collection postcode. Any firm that cannot do a job this unit requires is excluded and named, with the reason — so you can see why the list is short.

What does the unit need?

Starting from a 3-phase unit — the most common blocker on commercial equipment. Untick it if yours runs off a 13A plug.

What each capability means

These are legal and safety requirements, not service tiers. A firm without the certificate cannot do the work, whatever it quotes.

3-phase disconnect
A 400V supply is hard-wired, not plugged in. It has to be isolated and disconnected by a qualified electrician before the unit can be moved.
Gas Safe
Gas-interlocked equipment must be capped off by a Gas Safe registered engineer, and the cap recorded.
F-Gas refrigerant handling
Sealed refrigerant has to be recovered by an F-Gas certified technician. Venting it to atmosphere is an offence.
Stairs / hoist
No lift, or a doorway the unit does not fit through. Needs stair-climbing gear or an external hoist and a street permit.
Two-person lift
Over 60kg, or awkward enough that one operative cannot handle it safely.
Same-day collection
Collection within 24 hours of the request — for a site that is being handed back.

If removal costs more than the gap, the gap was never real.

A liquidator quotes one number for the whole kitchen because clearing it is their cost, not yours. Sell a unit for more and the disconnect, the stairs and the van become your problem. That is the strongest argument against everything on this site — so the quote sits inside checkout, before you commit, not as a surprise after collection is booked.
