Don't Risk Your Expensive TV on Moving Day
Moving house is chaotic enough without wrestling a 55-inch TV off the wall, dropping it on the corner of a coffee table, and watching £800 turn into scrap.
I'll unmount it properly while you're sorting everything else out. TV taken down safely, cables disconnected, bracket and screws bagged together so you've got them for the new place. Holes in the wall can be filled if needed for rental checkout or house sale.
💡 Pro tip: Book unmounting for the day before moving. TV comes down, gets protected, and you can still watch it using the stand (if you kept it) until bedtime. Otherwise, book for moving day morning.

What to Expect
Step 1: Disconnect
I'll photograph how everything's connected, then disconnect all cables. HDMI, power, soundbar, whatever's plugged in - all labelled so setup in new place is straightforward.
Step 2: Safe Removal
TV carefully lifted off the wall bracket and set down safely. Modern TVs are surprisingly fragile - the screens are thin and the edges are vulnerable.
Step 3: Bracket & Repair
Wall bracket removed, all screws and fixings bagged with it. If you need wall holes filled for rental or sale, I'll do that while I'm there.
🔧 DIY Tips
Doing it yourself? Here's how to avoid disaster:
🔧 Tools you'll need
- Screwdriver (for disconnecting cables)
- Socket set or screwdriver for bracket bolts
- Two people minimum (TVs are awkward and heavy)
- Somewhere safe to put it once it's down
- Phone camera to photo cable connections
📐 Unmounting safely
- Photo all cable connections first
- Disconnect everything
- Check how TV releases from bracket (some lift, some tilt)
- One person supports TV while other releases it
- Lift off carefully together
⚠️ Common DIY mistakes
- Trying to do it alone (TVs are heavier and more awkward than you think)
- Forgetting how cables were connected
- Dropping TV while lifting off bracket
- Not having somewhere safe to put it immediately
💡 Pro trick: Most wall brackets have a safety screw or clip at the bottom stopping the TV lifting off accidentally. Check for this before trying to remove the TV - if you're yanking at it wondering why it won't come off, there's probably a clip or screw you've missed.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.
Good to Know
📦 Packing the TV? If you've still got the original box and polystyrene, use it. If not, wrap the screen in soft blankets or bubble wrap and transport it upright, not flat. Never put anything on top of it.
Booking remounting too? Let me know - if you're local I can often unmount at the old place and remount at the new place same day. Or book remounting once you're settled in.
Rental deposit worry? If you're leaving a rental and the TV holes are making you nervous about your deposit, I can fill them properly so they're barely visible. Takes an extra 15 minutes but worth it for peace of mind.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will I be able to use the same bracket in my new place?
Usually yes. I'll take it down carefully and bag all the screws and fixings with the bracket. If the wall in your new place is different (brick vs plasterboard), you might need different wall fixings but the bracket itself can be reused.
What about the holes in the wall?
If you're renting or selling, I can fill them while I'm there. Costs the same if it's just basic filling. If you need them perfect for a viewing or checkout, let me know and I'll do a proper fill, sand and prime job.
Can you do this the day before moving?
Yes, perfect timing actually. I'll unmount it, pack everything together safely, and you can watch TV until bedtime using the stand (if you've still got it). Otherwise I can do it moving day morning.
Do I need to disconnect all the cables first?
No, I'll do that. I'll photograph how everything's connected so setup in the new place is easier. All cables get wrapped and bagged with the TV.
What if I don't have the original box for the TV?
I'll wrap it in moving blankets or bubble wrap to protect the screen. Most removals companies are fine with that. If you're doing a DIY move, I can advise on safe transport.
