Do Movers Take TV Off Wall?

When my friend decided to move out from her flat, she was prepared for everything. The movers were scheduled to arrive the next morning and all the boxes were packed, furniture disassembled, and the kitchen appliances carefully wrapped. The only thing she overlooked was the large mounted TV on the wall. She wasn’t sure if she needed to do it by herself, so she called me to ask, will movers unmount TV? Here’s what I told her.

Will Movers Dismount TV?

As I already took the packers and movers service, so I had an idea. I told her it depends on the movers you have contacted. If you want them to dismount the TV or any other item, you can mention it to them beforehand and work around the additional charges they might quote.

You can also do it yourself but if you are not sure how to do it and might require someone to help you out, it’s better to have an experienced fellow to handle everything. 

Since my friend was the only one in the flat and her neighbours who helped her pack everything weren’t available that day, I suggested  her to pay the required charges to  unmount  the TV to the packers and movers she hired. I took the service from NoBroker packers and movers and also paid for TV uninstallation. Their staff did the rest professionally. 

Why Movers Don’t Dismount Items?

Most of the packers and movers don’t want to be held accountable for damaging a TV or the wall, especially if it’s an expensive mount. If something goes wrong, it could be an expense for both the customer and the movers. However, there are some movers who can help disassemble the items but they might take an additional charge for the same. 

I hope this answers your query.

Before moving out, I had the same query as yours: Do movers take TV off wall or not. My husband insisted we do it ourselves. The movers usually do not take the TV off the wall unless the agreement says so or you have mentioned it beforehand. Their job is mainly to dismantle goods but not to dismount them. Even if they do, they might take an extra charge for it.

Will Movers Unmount TV?

In most cases, the movers do not unmount TV from the wall. You should inquire about it before the scheduled date. In most cases, if the movers are asked to unmount TVs or other cabinets, they charge a nominal amount for it. It is thus better you unmount the TV yourself. Movers are there to dismantle and pack your goods. 

Yes, packers and Mover have designated boxes to pack your TV properly and ensure its safety during transit. If you have an especially large TV and are concerned about its packaging process, you can either do it yourself or have a talk about it with your moving manager. 

If you are unsure about how to unmount a TV, you can hire professionals from NoBroker. They charge around Rs. 159 for unmounting a TV so you can easily afford it.
