What are you moving?
Pick the size and we will show you a suggested vehicle, and what we publish for it.
Suggested for 2-bedroom
Luton Box Van
900 cu ft of load space · 3-hour minimum
Priced by phone
We hold a rate for this vehicle — we have just not published it online yet.
One call gets you the real number, and we will size the crew with you at the same time.
0333 772 3714What we do
Start with the job
Nine services, priced from one rate card. Most moves use two or three of them together.
Where we work
Removals across the UK
546 towns, cities and London boroughs are listed on this site, and we cover the whole country besides. Long-distance moves are priced from the same rate card as local ones.
From quote to the last box
How a move runs
Five steps, one coordinator, and no part of it that only becomes clear on the day.
Step 1
Get a price
Work one out from the published rate card, or ring us and we will do it with you. No survey needed to find out what stairs or a wardrobe cost.
Step 2
We confirm the job
Vehicle, crew size and date agreed, and a named coordinator takes the job over. One person, from here to the last box.
Step 3
Packing
The whole house or just the fragile things — your call. Bubble wrap, shrink wrap, wardrobe cartons and furniture blankets are included either way.
Step 4
Moving day
Floors and doorways protected before anything moves. Furniture dismantled, everything blanket-wrapped, loaded in the order you want it unloaded.
Step 5
Unloaded and rebuilt
Boxes go to the room you labelled them for, beds go back together, and nobody leaves until you have walked the house.
What it costs
The parts of the price we can publish are published
Hourly by vehicle and crew, plus a per-mile distance charge. No survey needed to find out what stairs or a wardrobe add.
Hourly, from
£55
Small Transit (SWB), driver only · 2-hour minimum
Stairs
Included
Ground and first floor. £20 for the second, rising per floor above that.
Furniture, per item
£15
A single bed. Every item has a published price, from beds to a six-door wardrobe.
What that adds up to
The smallest job we publish a rate for — a small transit (swb), driver only, 2 hours at £55 an hour with 10 miles at £1.20 a mile — comes to £122, with cover and materials already in it. Bigger vehicles and crews are priced the same way.
An arithmetic example from the published rates, not a quote. Stairs above the first floor and any furniture dismantling are charged on top.
The fleet
Five vehicles, real load capacities
Sized to the job rather than to a package. If you are between two, take the larger one — a second trip costs more than the bigger vehicle did.
Small Transit (SWB)350 cu ftSingle rooms, studio flats, part-loads and single-item deliveries.
Transit LWB500 cu ftOne-bedroom flats and larger part-loads.
Luton Box Van900 cu ftTwo-bedroom houses and flats.
5.5 Tonne Lorry1,250 cu ftThree-bedroom houses.
7.5 Tonne Lorry1,600 cu ftFour-bedroom houses and up, and commercial sites.
Further afield
Moving to Europe
Nine destinations, in both directions. Our international coverage is Europe only.
Spain
The busiest route out of the UK for household moves, and the one with the most part-load traffic in both directions.
France
Short crossing, long country. Moves run in both directions, from Calais-adjacent to the far south.
Germany
Household and part-load moves between the UK and Germany, including returns to the UK.
Ireland
Moves between the UK and Ireland, with the ferry crossing built into the plan rather than bolted on.
Portugal
Full household moves to Portugal, and smaller consignments where a whole vehicle would be overkill.

Planning a long-distance move without losing the day
A move of three hundred miles is not a local move with more driving. The difference is what has to be decided before the van is loaded.
