Cost overview
A standard UK house removal includes loading, transport, unloading and basic furniture reassembly. Packing, fragile-only packing, dismantling, storage and parking suspensions are usually priced separately. The two strongest predictors of final price are total cubic feet of contents and miles travelled — followed by access constraints at both addresses.
What affects the price
- •Total volume in cubic feet (loft + garage often double the contents)
- •Distance between addresses
- •Floor level and stair count without a lift
- •Parking proximity and whether suspensions are required
- •Packing service level (none / fragile / full)
- •Premium-area or conservation-zone access
Crew, vehicle and duration
- Recommended crew
- 2–4 movers depending on property size
- Recommended vehicle
- 1–3 Luton vans or a 7.5-tonne lorry
