Cost overview

6-bedroom and larger homes are bespoke removal jobs. Most reputable companies will not provide an online price and will instead survey the property in person. Plan on a 2–3 day operation, full packing and crating, and frequently a separate antique/fine-art subcontractor. Insurance cover should be confirmed in writing before booking.

What affects the price

  • Pre-move survey is essential
  • Specialist fine-art and antique handling
  • Crating, climate-controlled storage
  • Multi-day pack-and-load schedules
  • Higher insurance cover requirements

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to move a 6-bed house in the UK?

Most 6-bed house moves in the UK cost £2800–£5000 for a local move and £4500–£8500 for a long-distance move. Premium areas and full packing services typically push prices toward the upper end.

How many movers do I need for a 6-bed house?

A 6-bed house typically needs 4–6 movers. Add one extra mover for stairs without a lift, for full packing services, or for any move involving heavy items such as pianos or safes.

What size van do I need for a 6-bed house?

Plan for 3 Luton vans or an 18-tonne lorry. Volume is a better guide than bedroom count — if you have a loft, garage or significant garden equipment, allow for the larger end of the range or a second trip.

How long does it take to move a 6-bed house?

Allow 2–3 day pack-and-move. Long-distance moves typically extend by 4–8 hours for travel time. Two-day pack-and-load schedules are standard for 4-bedroom-plus homes.

How many boxes do I need for a 6-bed house?

Most 6-bed house moves need 180–300+ boxes plus crates. Add wardrobe cartons for hanging clothes and use specialist crates for fragile glassware, art and electronics.

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.
