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
