Long-distance moves

Planning a long-distance removal

A long-distance move uses the same published pricing structure as a local move, but needs more careful planning around the two properties and the journey between them.

How the price is structured

For house removals, the published structure is an hourly rate based on vehicle and crew plus a per-mile distance charge. Distance adds mileage; it is not described as a separate long-haul service rate. The final vehicle and crew requirement is confirmed for the actual move.

Plan both ends of the move

Access, stairs, lifts, parking arrangements and the unloading sequence matter at both addresses. Describe them before booking, especially if the delivery address will not be ready until a particular time or needs furniture placed in a specific order.

Choose the right load plan

A long journey makes an avoidable second trip especially disruptive. An accurate inventory and early discussion of large furniture, storage contents and specialist items give the team a better basis for recommending the appropriate vehicle and crew.
