White Goods Removal
Big Man provides professional, fully compliant white goods removal for households, landlords, businesses, and property professionals across the UK. Large appliances are heavy, awkward to manoeuvre, and subject to specific disposal rules. Our trained teams remove them safely from inside your property and ensure they are processed correctly.
From a single washing machine to multiple appliances during a clearance or refurbishment, we manage lifting, transport, and lawful disposal end to end. The result is a clear space, no manual strain, and complete legal peace of mind.
What Is White Goods Removal?
White goods removal is the collection and lawful disposal of large domestic and commercial appliances that cannot be placed in standard waste bins. These items often contain metals, plastics, refrigerants, and electrical components that must be handled under strict regulations.
Using a professional service ensures appliances are removed safely, transported by authorised carriers, and processed through approved recycling or treatment facilities. This protects both the environment and the person arranging the removal.

Transparent Pricing With No Hidden Fees
Pricing for white goods removal is based on:

Why Choose Professional White Goods Removal?
Safer Than DIY Removal
Large appliances are heavy and awkward. Improper lifting can cause injury or damage. Our trained teams manage risks safely.
Faster Than Council Bulky Collections
Council services often involve long waits and strict limits. We remove appliances promptly and from inside the property.
More Practical Than Skip Hire
Skips require permits and manual loading. We remove appliances directly and manage disposal end to end.
