Removals in York

House moves, office moves and man-and-van work in York and the surrounding YO postcodes, priced from the same published rate card as everywhere else we work.

York moves run the full range — a one-bedroom flat in the centre, a family house on the edge, and everything between. The vehicle and crew are sized to the job rather than to a package, and the same published rate card applies whether you are crossing York or leaving it.

What we do in York

Parking and access

Tell us what the access is like at both ends when you book — a long carry from the van to the door changes how long the job takes, and we would rather build that into the estimate than discover it. Stairs above the first floor carry a published per-floor charge.

Coverage details for York

We list York under the YO postcode area. Give us both full addresses when you ask for a quote — the postcode is how we file it, not how we price it.

York shows real local demand for european removals, man & van, furniture disassembly & reassembly, furniture delivery.

In North Yorkshire, we also cover Middlesbrough, Harrogate, Scarborough, Selby, and 2 other places.

Of the 11 places we list in North Yorkshire, York is the 1st most asked about in our own search data — which is how we decided it gets a page of its own.

Distance and mileage for York

York is roughly 107 miles from our Coventry office, the closer of our two — that distance is what the per-mile part of any quote here is built from, on top of the hourly vehicle and crew rate.

How much does a move in York cost?

The main factors are the vehicle and crew, loading and unloading time, and the distance between your two addresses. Access and any packing or furniture work help us build the rest of the quotation.

Vehicle, crew and time
For hourly moves, the rate depends on the vehicle and number of movers. Hours are billed as worked, subject to a 2- or 3-hour minimum depending on the vehicle. Tell us what is moving so we can confirm a suitable team and allow realistic loading time.
Distance and access
A vehicle-specific per-mile charge is added. Stairs, parking and the walk from the vehicle to each front door also matter: a short local journey can still involve a long loading day. Tell us about working lifts and any loading restrictions at both addresses.
The work you need us to do
Furniture dismantling and reassembly are priced per item. Packing requirements and any additional collection or delivery stops should be agreed before the move, so the quotation reflects the whole job.

A driver-only rate is not a fully crewed price. We confirm the vehicle, crew, scope of work and VAT treatment with your quotation.

Published prices to help you plan

Packing and moving can be booked together at a fixed package price. These figures come from our current rate card.

2-bedroom Pack & Move
£1,850
3-bedroom Pack & Move

Confirm your inventory, access and the work included before booking. Prices for other property sizes are available on request.

Build your own estimate

What size removal van and crew will I need?

Property size is only a starting point. The volume of furniture and boxes, access, parking and unusually large items also affect the vehicle and crew we recommend.

A starting point for your inventory

The capacities and minimum bookings are from our fleet data. Property suggestions are guidance, not a guaranteed vehicle allocation.

How many movers will attend?

The rate card offers 2 movers, 3 movers, 4 movers, as well as driver-only bookings. Bedroom count does not decide the crew: tell us about the furniture, stairs and any heavy items, and confirm who will handle loading and unloading when you book.

Access can change the vehicle
Narrow roads, low entrances and restricted parking may make a smaller vehicle more practical. Share height restrictions and loading rules before a vehicle is allocated.
Volume matters more than bedrooms
Include the loft, shed and garden furniture in your inventory. A lightly furnished three-bedroom house can have less to move than a full two-bedroom flat.
Large items and longer journeys need a plan
Flag pianos, heavy furniture and oversized pieces early. If the load may need more than one vehicle or journey, discuss that before booking, especially when the destination is a long way away.

What is included with a move in York?

Cover, materials and a named coordinator come as standard on every move. Packing and furniture dismantling are separate services, priced separately — so you are not paying for them if you do not need them.

Included as standard

  • Goods in Transit coverIncluded as standard on every move, not sold as an optional extra.
  • Public Liability coverIn place for every job, domestic and commercial alike.
  • Packing materialsBubble wrap, shrink wrap, wardrobe cartons and furniture blankets, supplied as part of the job.
  • A dedicated move coordinatorOne named point of contact from the quote through to unloading.

Added when you need it

Local or long distance?

Both are priced from the same rate card for a move — an hourly rate set by vehicle and crew size, plus a per-mile charge. A long job does not attract a different kind of pricing, just more miles on the same card.

Local

Distance is barely a factor. What decides the day is volume, access at both ends and how long loading and unloading realistically take.

Long distance

The same fundamentals, with mileage and timing added. Departure time and when the job can realistically finish at the far end matter more, particularly on a same-day completion.

How do I get a price?

Four steps, and the third one is a real number rather than a placeholder while someone calls you back.

  1. 1

    Tell us about your move

    Both addresses, your likely date, roughly what is moving, and anything that affects access — stairs, lifts, parking, a long carry.

  2. 2

    We match a vehicle and crew

    Sized to the volume and the access, not just the number of bedrooms — see how that works on the van and crew guide above.

  3. 3

    You get a price from the published rate card

    Built from the hourly rate, the crew, and the distance between the two addresses — the same rate card that is published on this site.

  4. 4

    Your coordinator confirms the details

    One named person carries the job from the quote through to the last box, and is who you call if anything changes.
