How to Keep the Cost of Moving a Refrigerator in London as Low as Possible
If you want to lower the price you pay for moving a refrigerator or a fridge in London, make sure to book thursday before noon. Clear the path and measure doorways in advance. Empty the fridge completely (we can’t move it with food inside for insurance reasons). Have parking suspended at both addresses if possible. It saves waiting charges.
Look, the thing is, cheap quotes from random men-with-vans often turn into nightmares when they get to your narrow Fulham staircase and suddenly “need another guy” or “hire a hoist”. Suddenly your £90 quote is £400 and your fridge is stuck on the landing.
We carry £5m public liability, proper fridge trolleys, stair-climbing equipment and crews who actually know how to take doors off a Liebherr without scratching it.
