Add what you’re moving
Use the counters below. The calculator adds an allowance for awkward shapes and unused gaps, because furniture never packs like perfect cubes.
How it works
We use usable load space, not headline volume alone
The calculator estimates the cubic volume of common household items, then adds a packing allowance for gaps, blankets and irregular shapes. It compares that number with practical working capacities for our Small, LWB and Luton vans.
Need certainty?
Send photos.
If your move includes fitted furniture, unusually long items, gym equipment, safes or anything close to the van limits, photos and measurements are more reliable than any online calculator.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
Is the calculator exact?
No. It is a planning estimate. Vehicle interiors vary and awkward shapes reduce usable space.
What if my result is close to the next van size?
Choose the larger option or send photos. A little spare space is preferable to needing a second trip.
Does dismantling furniture change the result?
Often, yes. Flat-packed or dismantled furniture can use space more efficiently.
Can I use the result when requesting a quote?
Yes. Mention the suggested van and send the inventory or photos so the recommendation can be checked.
