What changes the total price?
Van size
A larger van costs more per hour, but choosing a van that is too small can be more expensive if it forces a second journey. Use the van size calculator or send photos.
Number of movers
Two movers cost more per hour but may reduce loading and unloading time. This matters for stairs, heavy furniture, long carries and office moves where speed is important.
Access
Fourth-floor stairs, a long walk from the legal parking space, a booked loading bay or a slow lift can all extend the working time. Accurate access information is one of the best ways to make a quote realistic.
Distance and road charges
Longer journeys add mileage and driving time. In London, road user charges can apply depending on the vehicle, route and date, so we confirm these on the quote where relevant.
Simple price examples
How to keep the cost under control
- Declutter before the move.
- Choose the right van rather than the smallest possible van.
- Have boxes packed and ready before the van arrives.
- Reserve parking or a loading bay when the location requires it.
- Send photos of bulky items so dismantling and carrying time can be allowed for.
- Avoid adding extra items after the quote without telling us.
