Pricing

Home move prices

Two simple pricing tiers. No hidden fees.

Self-loading

You load and unload. The driver transports your items safely. Best for small moves when you can handle the lifting.

  • 2-bed flat: £100–£250
  • Single item collection: from £19

Driver helps

£34/hr

The driver helps you load and unload. Best for larger moves or when you need an extra pair of hands.

  • 1-bed flat: £100–£250
  • 2-bed house: £250–£450
  • 3-bed house: £350–£600

Types of home move

Flat moves

Studio, 1-bed or 2-bed flats. The mover needs to know about stairs, lifts and parking. Flats above shops often have narrow staircases with no lift access.

House moves

Terraced, semi-detached or detached houses. Terraced houses often have narrow hallways and front doors directly onto the street. Detached houses usually have driveways.

Student moves

Halls of residence, shared houses or student flats. Usually smaller loads with seasonal peaks in June and September. UNiDAYS discount available — £12 off.

What is the cheapest way to move home?+

The cheapest way to move home is a self-loading man and van from £19/hr. You load and unload, the driver transports. This works well for small moves — studios, 1-bed flats, or when you have friends to help. For larger moves, the driver-helps option at £34/hr still costs far less than a full removal company.

Do I need a removal company or is a man and van enough?+

Most home moves do not need a full removal company. A man and van with driver help can handle flats, terraced houses and semi-detached homes. Full removal companies are only really needed for very large houses (4+ beds), piano moves, or when you want a full packing service.

How far in advance should I book a man and van for moving home?+

Book at least 3–5 days ahead if possible. End-of-month and weekends are the busiest times. If you are moving on the last Friday of the month, book a week or two ahead. Same-day moves may be possible but depend on availability.

What information does the mover need for a home move quote?+

Your collection and delivery postcodes, an item list (number of boxes, furniture pieces, white goods), whether you need the driver to help load and unload, any access details (stairs, lifts, parking restrictions), and your preferred moving date. The more detail you provide, the more accurate the quote.

Can I move home on the same day I get the keys?+

Yes, but it is risky. If the property chain is delayed, you may not get keys until late afternoon. Most movers recommend booking the van for the day after completion if possible, or confirming a flexible time slot with your mover in case of chain delays.
