If a landlord supplies an appliance in a let property, the landlord is normally responsible for repairing or replacing it when it fails, and for getting rid of the old one. That often has to happen on a tight timescale, either while a tenant is waiting for a working washing machine or in the few days between one tenancy ending and the next starting.
We work with landlords and agents who need appliances out without having to be on site. Access can be arranged with a key safe, the agent or the tenant, and photos can be taken before and after so the agent has a record for the inventory. Abandoned tenant appliances can be collected too, once you are satisfied you are entitled to dispose of them.
What is included
- Collection of failed white goods from let properties
- Access arranged with the tenant, letting agent or a key safe

How much does it cost?
As a guide, removing a single appliance from a let property usually costs £30 to £90 depending on type, with several items or several addresses in one round usually reducing the cost per item. See our full cost guide.
