Make your move easy with our appliance disconnection and reconnection service!

When you’re moving home, there are many items that can be a little challenging to move safely and efficiently. Luckily our team of expert professional movers and packers at Removals Unlimited are on hand to help you with every aspect of your home move, and one set of items that can be a challenge if you go it alone (rather than hiring professional movers) are kitchen appliances.

Fridge-freezers, washing machines and dishwashers are just some of the many appliances we help our clients move to their new abodes. Of course, you don’t want to have to worry about plumbing in these appliances when you’re keen to start unpacking and settling into your new home, so let us do that for you.

We offer an appliance disconnect and reconnect service to help you avoid precisely this hassle on moving day. Let our team do the heavy lifting (and some of the basic plumbing) so that you can settle in quickly. It’s important to note that none of our team are trained plumbers, and we recommend having your appliances checked by a professional plumber to ensure there are no leaks in the reconnections we manage.

However, we are more than happy to disconnect and reconnect appliances for you. All you then need a plumber to do is validate that the reconnection is secure for insurance purposes, and you are ready to start using your washing machine or dishwasher again. This can make the whole process much quicker for you!

Really Moving has some tips for you if you want to know how to prepare appliances for moving day. For example, the website recommends defrosting your fridge-freezer ahead of moving day and, of course, removing all its contents.

Remember that it can take some time for the liquid in the cooling mechanism in fridge-freezers to settle after they have been moved, which means you’ll likely need to wait 24 hours before plugging them in again at your new home.

Another top tip is to thoroughly clean your washing machine or dishwasher before your move, so it’s clean and ready to go once it’s safely installed in your new home.

If you’re wondering whether it’s worth moving your white goods, it will really depend on how old they are. According to the White Goods Trade Association, the average lifespan of most washing machines is just under seven years now, so if your machine is only a couple of years old it should still have plenty of life left in it.

We are always happy to assist with any element of your move, and in addition to offering to disconnect and reconnect your appliances we also provide a full packing service to make moving as stress-free and simple as possible for you.

Furniture disassembly and reassembly is also part of our repertoire, so take a look at the full suite of moving services our trained professional movers offer and contact us to find out more or to arrange for a free, no-obligation quote for your move.
