Welcome to UK Home Removals. We make house removals and house cleaning simple and stress‑free. If you’re searching for the cost to pack and move a TV in London, you’re in the right place. We’ll walk you through everything you need to know, plainly and clearly, so you can budget confidently and avoid surprises.
Price Differences Between LCD, LED, and OLED TVs in London Moves
Not all TVs cost the same to move, and the type of screen matters. Here’s how:
LCD TVs are the oldest and tend to be lighter and less fragile. They cost less to pack and move. In London, moving a standard LCD TV (42–55″) typically adds around £30–£50 to your removal quote.
LED TVs are often larger and thinner, which needs more careful packing materials (e.g., extra padding, specialist foam). That pushes the cost up a bit. For a standard LED TV (42–55″) in London, expect an additional £60–£90, and for very large or wall-mounted models, it can go up to £100–£150.
OLED TVs are premium: very large, ultra-thin, expensive, and fragile. The risk of damage is higher, so extra care and specialist handling are required, meaning higher prices. Moving an OLED TV in London, especially wall-mounted (60–70″+), can add £120–£200+ to your removal costs.
Moving a Mounted TV vs a Standalone TV: Cost Comparison
Here’s an important factor: is the TV wall‑mounted or on a stand/appliance? The difference is significant.
- Standalone TV (on a stand): Easier to disconnect and remove. You simply unplug, wrap, move. Lower risk. Lower cost.
- Wall‑mounted TV: Requires: safe removal from the wall bracket, possibly disassembling the mount, careful packing of the screen, safe transport, then re‑mounting in the new location. More labour involved. More time. More risk. So, higher cost.
For example, if you call us and say you have a 55″ LED TV on a stand, we may quote you a basic move. But if you have a 65″ OLED TV mounted high on a wall with no lift access, the price will reflect the extra care. Always tell us all the details so you get an accurate cost upfront.

Weekend vs Weekday TV Relocation Rates
Timing also affects cost, especially in London. Here’s how to think about it:
- Weekdays (Monday to Thursday) tend to be cheaper. Fewer last‑minute bookings, less competition.
- Fridays, weekends (Saturday/Sunday) and end of month are higher demand, so you may pay more.
- Evening moves or moves in peak traffic hours may incur extra for congestion, waiting times or overtime.
At UK Home Removals, we aim to give you transparent pricing. If you book your TV move for a weekday, you’ll usually get better value. If you require weekend service, we’ll let you know the difference so you can decide what works for your budget.
Small Van vs Large Van for TV Transport: What’s Cheaper?
When moving your TV, the size of the van matters, even for a single item. Here’s why:
- A small van is cheaper to hire. If you’re moving just the TV (and maybe a few small items), a small van is ideal. It means lower cost for vehicle hire, fuel, parking.
- A large van (or Luton style) is needed if you have multiple large items, bulky furniture, or a full house move. The cost goes up because the vehicle is bigger, more space, more fuel, possibly more staff.
If you’re only moving a TV, letting us know means we can arrange a small van, fewer movers, and keep your cost down. If instead you’re combining the TV move with a full home clearance or relocation, a larger van may make more sense, but it comes with a higher cost.
TV Removal for Office vs Home: Price Differences
There’s another angle: where the TV is being moved from and to, a home or an office. This changes cost because of logistics.
Home to home: Usually easier access (though there could be stairs, lifts, parking issues). Costs are typically standard.
Office environment: Might involve commercial building rules, lifts, security, specific times, parking restrictions, possibly after‑hours work. These elements increase cost.
At UK Home Removals, when we quote you for TV removal, we’ll ask: is it home or office? Is there lift access? Are there stairs? Is parking straightforward? All these affect the cost. If it’s an office, expect a slightly higher rate to accommodate the extra complexity.
How to Choose the Right TV Removal Service in London
You want to pick a removal company that gives you confidence, clear pricing, and protection. Here are 6 questions to ask— and we answer them too:
- Are you insured? Any mover handling your TV should carry appropriate insurance.
- What’s included in the quote? Does it cover packing materials, disconnection, transport, re‑connection?
- Are there extra fees (stairs, parking, lift, weekend)? You should know before booking.
- Do you specialise in moving fragile items like TVs or electronics? It makes a difference.
- Can I get a written, no‑surprise quote? You should.
- What happens if something gets damaged? Know the process.

FAQs
How much does it cost to pack and move a TV in London?
It depends. If it’s a basic standalone LED TV moved within a home, you might be looking at the lower end of a man‑and‑van rate (see typical rates from £80/h onwards).
Are packing materials included for copying my TV?
Usually the removal company will provide blankets, straps and standard protection, but special materials (e.g., custom crates) may cost extra. At UK Home Removals we include basic protection; any extra will be clearly explained.
Can I move the TV myself to save money?
Yes, you could. But the risk of damage, lifting injuries, and complexity (especially for mounted TVs) makes professional help worthwhile. As cited, UK removals prices depend heavily on complexity.
Does the day of the week affect cost?
Yes. Weekday moves tend to be cheaper; weekend and high‑demand days cost more due to availability and traffic/parking issues. We’ll always quote you what applies.
How far in advance should I book for a TV move?
As soon as you know. Items like TVs are fragile, so scheduling early gives you better choice of times, better rates, and less stress.
If I’m also doing full home removal and cleaning, can you bundle the TV move?
Absolutely. At UK Home Removals we cover house removals and house cleaning. We can bundle service, which may save you time and cost overall, and we’ll clearly show separate cost for the TV move so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
