A Smarter Way to Move Appliances Across the UK

Appliance Moving Service Image 2
At Porta, we understand that household appliances are often large, awkward, and heavy.
That’s why our appliance moving service has been built with real people in mind, homeowners upgrading their kitchen, landlords replacing white goods, and small businesses moving stock or equipment.

We connect you with trusted drivers already heading your way. That means fewer empty vans on the road, lower costs for you, and a more eco-conscious alternative to hiring a van or booking a premium courier service.

With full UK coverage, flexible delivery options, and careful handling every step of the way, we take the hassle out of transporting appliances.

Types of Appliances We Move

Our network of appliance couriers is experienced in safely moving a wide variety of domestic and commercial appliances, from compact dishwashers to double-door fridge freezers.
Here are just some of the items we help customers move every day:
  • Washing Machines – Securely handled with proper lifting equipment and protected during transit to avoid drum or hose damage.
  • Fridge Freezers – Upright and laid-down transport depending on model, with care taken to protect cooling systems and seals.
  • Cookers & Ovens – Both electric and gas appliances moved carefully, with attention to surfaces and secure strapping to avoid movement in transit.
  • Dishwashers – Collected and delivered with connections protected and supported to prevent internal rattling.
  • Tumble Dryers – Safely stacked or transported solo, always handled by two-person teams to minimise risk.
  • American Fridge Freezers – These larger models require special attention and planning, especially through tight doorways or up stairs.
  • Chest Freezers & Wine Coolers – Handled upright or securely flat depending on manufacturer guidance, always padded and protected.
  • Commercial White Goods & Catering Appliances – Including back-of-house fridges, prep tables, and heavy-duty washing units for restaurants and shops.

If you're unsure whether your item qualifies as an appliance or how it should be moved, just request a free quote, our system will guide you through the specifics.

What to Expect with Porta’s Appliance Moving Service

Appliance Moving Service Image 3
Our appliance moving service is designed to give you peace of mind from start to finish. Whether you're moving a single white good or coordinating multiple deliveries, our network of independent drivers take care of the heavy lifting so you don't have to.
Here’s what you can expect when you book with Porta:

Two-Person Teams for Safe Handling
Most appliances are heavy, bulky and difficult to manoeuvre. That’s why our network includes trained two-person teams equipped to lift, load, and secure your items without damage to the appliance or your property.

We treat every item with care, ensuring door frames, flooring, and fittings are protected throughout the process.

Insurance Claim Support on Standard and Premium
Standard and Premium bookings include goods-in-transit insurance claim support arranged through Porta. If anything unexpected happens during transit, Porta can help facilitate a claim on your behalf.

Flexible Delivery Options
We offer same-day, next-day, and scheduled delivery slots to match your needs. Whether you're clearing out a kitchen today or planning a delivery for next week, our service adapts to your timeline.

This makes us ideal for time-sensitive upgrades, tenant turnovers, or customer deliveries.

No Need for Specialist Packaging
Most couriers demand boxed or palletised appliances. We don’t. Our drivers will collect the item as it is, providing blankets, padding, and straps for secure loading and transport.

That means no disassembly, no hunting for packaging materials, and no stress.

Real-Time SMS Updates (Standard and Premium)
On Standard and Premium bookings, you'll receive real-time SMS updates throughout the delivery so you always know where your appliance is and when to expect it.

Nationwide Coverage with Local Knowledge
From major cities like London and Birmingham to rural areas across the UK, our appliance movers operate everywhere.

We work with drivers local to your collection point and destination, ensuring better route knowledge, smoother access, and faster turnarounds.

Why Choose Porta for Appliance Transport?

When it comes to moving heavy white goods, you need more than just a delivery van, you need a service that’s reliable, affordable, and designed for awkward, fragile loads. Porta Delivery gives you all that and more.
Here’s why customers across the UK trust us to move their appliances safely:

Experts in Large and Awkward Loads
Unlike standard parcel couriers, our independent drivers specialise in handling bulky household items. From delicate integrated appliances to oversized American fridge freezers, our drivers have the tools and experience to manage every move.

We know how to navigate narrow hallways, protect flooring, and avoid common appliance moving mistakes.

Save Money with Smart Routing
Our platform matches your job with drivers already making similar trips. That means fewer wasted miles, better vehicle efficiency, and lower prices for you, often significantly cheaper than hiring a van or using a large national courier.

You only pay for the space and time your job needs.

Clear Tracking and Direct Driver Contact
Once your job is confirmed, you’ll be able to track your appliance on the move and speak to the driver directly. No call centres, no long waits, just real-time updates and responsive communication.

It’s delivery you’re actually in control of.

Insurance Claim Support Included
Standard and Premium bookings include goods-in-transit insurance claim support arranged through Porta, giving you peace of mind from collection to drop-off. Essential deliveries are covered by the independent driver's own insurance arrangements.

Online Booking in Seconds
Forget long forms or back-and-forth calls. You can get a live quote, book, and pay securely online in under a minute. It’s fast, transparent, and built for convenience.

Whether you’re a private customer or a business, managing deliveries has never been easier.

Available 7 Days a Week
We operate seven days a week, including evenings and weekends. That means you don’t have to take time off or rearrange your schedule just to move an appliance.

You choose the time, we handle the rest.

Transparent Pricing & Delivery Options

Appliance Moving Service Image 5
At Porta Delivery, we believe in simple, transparent pricing that reflects exactly what you need — no flat-rate fees, no unnecessary extras. The cost of moving an appliance depends on a few key factors, but we keep it clear from the start.
Here’s what affects your price:

1. The Type of Appliance
Larger, heavier items like American fridge freezers or chest freezers require more handling and may need a two-person team. Smaller items such as dishwashers or tumble dryers can often be moved by a single person if you’re available to assist.

2. Team Size Required
If you’re able to help carry the item at either end, a 1-person team is usually sufficient. But if you'd rather not lift a finger, a 2-person crew ensures your appliance is handled completely by us — perfect for upstairs flats or heavy goods.

3. Delivery Speed & Flexibility
You’ll save money by choosing our Eco/Flexible option, which allows us to match your job with an existing route over a few days. If you need a guaranteed collection and delivery slot, our Fixed Date service offers that extra certainty.

4. Distance Travelled
Longer distances do increase the cost slightly, but our algorithm ensures you're only paying for the mileage and time your job actually needs. No generic zone charges or postcode surcharges here.

Flexible Booking for Homes and Businesses

Appliance Moving Service Image 6
We understand that not all appliance moves are the same. That’s why Porta Delivery offers flexible solutions for both residential and commercial needs, whether you’re a homeowner upgrading your kitchen or a business delivering stock to multiple sites.
For Households and Individuals
Whether you're moving house, replacing a broken appliance, or gifting a fridge to a family member, our service is designed to work around your availability. You can choose a fixed collection date or save with our flexible eco option, all with insurance and live tracking included.

We regularly help with:
  • Delivering appliances from one property to another
  • Picking up items bought or sold on Facebook Marketplace, eBay or Gumtree
  • Helping tenants and landlords move or replace white goods
  • Transporting appliances during renovations or remodels

Even if you’ve got a narrow hallway, upstairs flat or no driveway, our experienced team knows how to handle awkward locations with care. If you're moving other large household goods, take a look at our Large Item Courier Service.

For Businesses, Retailers and Landlords
If you need a reliable, cost-effective way to move or deliver appliances across the UK, Porta is built for you. We support all types of businesses, including white goods suppliers, property managers, appliance fitters and more with one-off or recurring delivery jobs.

Use our network to:
  • Deliver large appliances to customers without needing your own fleet
  • Move white goods between rental properties or managed sites
  • Assist with commercial kitchen installations
  • Transport commercial-grade appliances safely and securely

If you regularly send items of any kind, our Courier Delivery Service is ideal for both parcel and large-scale logistics, with options tailored for businesses of all sizes.

You’ll benefit from flexible scheduling, professional loading and unloading, and easy online booking, with the option to request multi-drop or repeat services if required.

Frequently Asked Questions About Appliance Moves

Do I need to disconnect my appliance before collection?  Yes. Appliances should be safely disconnected, unplugged, and drained before collection. This includes switching off water supplies and ensuring hoses or drip trays are emptied. Porta's drivers are not qualified to disconnect plumbing or gas lines, so arrange this in advance.

How much does it cost to move an appliance in the UK? 
Pricing depends on the appliance type, the distance between collection and delivery, your chosen service tier, and whether you need a one or two-person team. Porta shows you an instant fixed price when you enter your postcodes — no bidding, no waiting, no hidden fees.

Can you move an American fridge freezer? 
Yes. Porta's drivers regularly move oversized appliances including American fridge freezers, range cookers, and commercial chillers. These typically require a two-person team. The booking system will guide you through the options based on your item.

What insurance cover is available for appliance delivery? 
Porta offers three tiers. Essential bookings mean insurance responsibility sits with the independent driver. Standard bookings include goods-in-transit insurance claim support arranged through Porta. Premium bookings add faster resolution on top. For high-value appliances, Standard or Premium is recommended.

Do I need to package my appliance before collection? 
No packaging is needed in most cases. As long as the appliance is clean, disconnected, and ready to go, the driver will secure it using blankets, straps, and padding during loading and transit.

Can you collect from upstairs flats or difficult access locations? 
Yes. Let Porta know when booking if the appliance is upstairs, in a basement, or if access is limited. A two-person team is strongly recommended for non-ground floor collections. Select this option at checkout and the right team will be assigned.

Can you deliver appliances the same day? 
Yes. Porta offers a same-day delivery option for urgent appliance moves. Availability depends on driver routes in your area, so book as early in the day as possible for the best chance of same-day collection and delivery.

How are appliances secured during transit? 
Drivers use straps, blankets, and padding to secure appliances inside the van. Items that need to stay upright — such as fridges and washing machines — are positioned and strapped accordingly. All items are transported point-to-point with no depot handling.

Can I move multiple appliances in one booking? 
Yes. Add all your appliances when requesting a quote and Porta will calculate the best combined price. This is common for kitchen refits, landlords replacing white goods across properties, and house moves.

Do you deliver appliances bought on eBay or Facebook Marketplace? 
Yes. Porta's eBay collection service and marketplace collection and delivery service both handle appliance pickups from sellers. The driver collects from the seller's address and delivers to your door — no van hire or awkward meetups needed.
