Appliance Delivery & Moving in London

Fridges, freezers, washing machines and dryers are heavy, awkward and easy to damage if they’re carried the wrong way. Our appliance moving service uses two people, a stair-capable trolley and straps, and positions the appliance where you need it. Single appliance runs start from £50.

White goods moved the right way

Fridges, washers, dryers and dishwashers need careful handling — tipping a fridge the wrong way or scratching a kitchen can ruin the day. Our appliance delivery service moves white goods across London and positions them where you need them.

Deliveries start from around £50 depending on the appliance, floors and distance. We protect floors and doorways, use the right straps and trolleys, and can help with disconnect/reconnect of simple plug-in units when agreed (plumbing and gas stay with a qualified tradesperson).

Ideal for store collections, marketplace finds and swapping out a broken machine the same week.

Moving fridges and American fridge freezers

Fridges should travel upright wherever possible, because laying them flat can let compressor oil move into the cooling pipes. Once delivered, most manufacturers recommend leaving the fridge standing for a few hours before switching it on — check your manual, as some say longer if it was tilted in transit.

American-style fridge freezers are typically around 90cm wide and close to 180cm tall, which is wider than a standard 76cm internal door. Many will only pass through once the doors are removed. Measure your doorways before you buy and tell us the model, so we know whether to plan door removal or a different route.

  • Empty, defrost and dry the fridge the day before
  • Tape or remove loose shelves and drawers
  • Measure door widths against the fridge’s width and depth
  • Leave it standing before switching on at the new address

Washing machines, dryers and dishwashers

Washing machines must travel with their transit bolts fitted — the bolts lock the drum so it can’t swing and damage the suspension. If you still have them, fit them before we arrive (they go in the back of the machine where they were removed at installation). If they’re lost, replacement sets for most brands are inexpensive and easy to order by model number.

Drain the machine and disconnect water and waste hoses before collection. We can disconnect and reconnect simple plug-in appliances when agreed, but plumbing, waste connections and anything gas-fired need a qualified plumber or Gas Safe engineer.

Store and marketplace appliance collections

We collect appliances from retailers, warehouses and private sellers, including Facebook Marketplace and eBay listings marked collection only. For second-hand machines, ask the seller to drain and disconnect it before we arrive — waiting for a washer to drain or a freezer to defrost on the day adds time to the booking.

What’s included as standard

We believe the price you’re quoted should be the price you pay. That’s why every appliance delivery booking comes with the essentials built in — no surprise charges bolted on when the crew arrives.

  • Collection and protected transport of white goods
  • Trolleys, straps and floor protection
  • Carry up or down stairs as assessed
  • Placement in the agreed spot

How it works, step by step

We’ve refined our process across London moves every week to keep everything simple and predictable. Here’s exactly what happens from your first enquiry through to completion.

  1. Get your free quote

    Tell us what you need moving, your pickup and delivery addresses and your preferred date. Start your quote in under a minute — we usually reply with a clear fixed price within about one working hour. No site visit required for most jobs; a free home survey is available for larger moves.

  2. Confirm your booking

    Pick a date and time that suits you. A small deposit is only asked when you confirm the booking — it comes off your final balance. We’ll send a confirmation with everything you need to prepare, plus a friendly reminder as the day approaches.

  3. We prepare and protect

    On the day, our uniformed crew arrives on time with blankets, straps and trolleys. We protect floors, doorways and furniture before anything is lifted, so your home and your belongings stay in perfect condition.

  4. Careful transport

    Your items are loaded, secured and driven safely to the destination by an experienced London driver who knows the boroughs, the permit zones and the quickest routes at any time of day.

  5. Unload and settle in

    We place everything exactly where you want it, reassemble anything we took apart and only leave once you’re completely happy. Payment is taken on completion — simple and stress-free.

How much does it cost?

Appliance Delivery is charged by the hour from our published rate card, from £50: a small van and driver is £50/hr, each helper adds £20/hr, and there is a 2-hour minimum. After that, time is billed in 30-minute steps.

The first 10 journey miles are included, then £1.50 a mile. See our pricing page for the full rate card and calculator.

  • The volume of items and the size of van required
  • How many crew members or helpers you need
  • Access at both addresses — stairs, lifts and carry distance
  • Total mileage beyond the first 10 included miles
