Cost overview

4-bedroom homes mark the point at which most moves become full-day jobs with 3–4 movers and a larger lorry. Inventory grows beyond what a single Luton van can hold, packing services become common, and access at both ends starts to dictate logistics. Many 4-bed moves now require a packing day plus a loading day for the smoothest completion.

What size van do I need for a 4-bed house?▾

Is packing included in the price?▾

Standard removal quotes cover loading, transport and unloading only. Full packing typically adds £200–£700 for a flat and £350–£900 for a house. Fragile-only packing is a cheaper middle ground at £80–£250.
