The Ultimate London Home Moving Checklist
September 24, 2025
When to Start Packing for a House Move?
October 1, 2025
Do you need to move just one item across London? Maybe you bought a sofa from Facebook Marketplace, inherited a wardrobe from a relative, or sold your dining table to someone across town. Whatever the reason, you don’t need a full removal service for single items.
At UK Home Removals, we move individual pieces every day across London. From small bedside tables to large American fridges, we’ve transported it all. This guide shows you exactly what you’ll pay for single-item removals in London at different distances.
How Much Does Single Item Removal Cost in London?
The single item removal cost in London depends on three main factors: what you’re moving, how far it’s going, the access, if dismantling is needed, and how many people are needed to shift it safely.
Most single-item moves in London cost between £35 and £150. Small items like chairs or small tables usually cost £35-£60 for short distances. Medium items like sofas or wardrobes range from £60 to £95. Large or heavy pieces like a piano or American fridge-freezers cost £95-£150 or more.
Distance matters too. Moving an item 2km costs less than transporting it 20km across London. Our pricing reflects fuel, time, and London’s busy traffic conditions.

Below you’ll find detailed pricing for 100+ common items we move. These prices include two removal specialists, vehicle costs, basic equipment, and the London congestion charge where applicable. We also offer single item furniture delivery in London for smaller moves or individual pieces.
