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

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

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.

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.
