What is The Most Expensive Part of Moving House in London?
December 6, 2025
Moving home in London always throws up that one awkward item, the washing machine. You’re already juggling parking suspensions in Islington, dodging traffic in Croydon or hauling boxes up three flights in Wimbledon. The last thing you need is a surprise bill when someone finally carries the bloody thing out.
We’ve moved over 4,800 washing machines across every London borough this year alone, so we know exactly what you’ll pay in 2026.

What Changes the Cost of Washing Machine Moving in London, UK
Four things move the price of washing machine removal and move in London more than anything else:
Stairs
Every flight after the first adds £25-£35. A third-floor walk-up in Tooting costs double what a ground-floor flat in Sutton does.
Machine size & weight
Standard 7-9kg machines are easy. 11kg+ or integrated units that need panel removal push the price up.
Parking
If we can park within 10 metres, you pay nothing extra. If your road needs a suspension in Westminster or Hammersmith, add £40-£80 (we arrange it and split the council fee with you).
Disconnect/reconnect
We disconnect and cap pipes for free. Full plumbing reconnect at the new place is £45 if you want it done properly.
