Guide prices including VAT, based on published UK averages for 2025-26. They are not quotes: the price for your move depends on the details below.
What affects the price
- Size of your home. More rooms means more furniture, a bigger van and more movers.
- Distance. Longer moves take more hours and fuel, and very long moves can need an overnight stay.
- Access. Stairs, flats without a lift, parking restrictions and long walks to the van all add time.
- Extra services. A packing service typically adds £400 - £500 for a three bedroom home, and dismantling and reassembling furniture around £100 - £150. Storage is priced by the week.
- Timing. Fridays, weekends and the end of the month are the busiest times. Midweek moves are often cheaper.
How to pay less for your move
- Compare quotes. Prices for the same move vary between removal companies, and comparing quotes can save you up to 40%.
- Be flexible with your date. A midweek move is often cheaper than a Friday or weekend.
- Declutter first. Fewer belongings means a smaller van and a shorter day.
- Do your own packing. Packing yourself avoids the cost of a packing service.
- Book early. Four to six weeks ahead gives you the widest choice of dates and firms.
