01
Property size and volume
The single biggest factor. We price by cubic feet on the van, not by the room count alone. A maximalist 2-bed can load heavier than a sparse 3-bed.

What drives the price
Six things that move a London quote up or down
02
Access at both ends
Lifts vs. stairs, distance from the van to the door, narrow Victorian staircases, lift bookings in mansion blocks. All add crew hours.
03
London parking
Red routes, CPZ bays and no-loading windows often need a paid suspension. Walking distance from a legal parking spot adds time.
04
Day and date
Last Friday of the month and end-of-tenancy dates carry a premium. Mid-week, mid-month moves are typically 10-20% cheaper.
05
Packing and materials
DIY-packing saves money but adds risk; a professional pack is usually the difference between a 7-hour and a 10-hour move day.
06
Distance and ULEZ
Within the M25 most moves are priced as a single day. Long-distance and out-of-London jobs add fuel, mileage and sometimes an overnight.
FAQ
London removal cost questions, answered
How much does a 2-bedroom flat removal cost in London?+
Most 2-bed flat moves within London land between £520 and £850 with a 2-3 person crew and a Luton van. Top of that range usually means stairs at both ends, a packing service or a Friday/end-of-month date.
How much does a 3-bedroom house removal cost in London?+
Expect £950 £1,450 for a typical 3-bed in London, rising to £1,250 £1,850 for a large 3-bed with garage, loft and garden contents. Add £280 £600 if you want us to pack for you.
Are removal companies in London cheaper on weekdays?+
Yes. Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday mid-month are typically 10-20% cheaper than the last Friday of the month, which is the busiest moving day in the UK.
Do you charge by the hour or fixed price?+
We quote a fixed price for the move after a free video or in-person survey. No hourly creep, no 'parking surprises' on the day. The number on your quote is the number on your invoice.
What about parking, permits and congestion charges?+
We arrange parking bay suspensions where needed (£50 £180 per bay) and pass through any ULEZ or Congestion Charge at cost. Both are itemised on the quote. Never hidden.
How can I bring the cost of my London move down?+
Book mid-week, mid-month if you can; declutter before the survey (skip-runs are free in our quote tool); pack non-fragile items yourself; and book 3+ weeks ahead to avoid short-notice premium slots.
Is insurance included in the price?+
Yes. Every move includes goods-in-transit and public liability cover as standard. Higher-value items (art, antiques, instruments) can be added to an enhanced policy at survey.
Do you offer free surveys?+
Yes. Video survey or in-person, both free, both produce a fixed-price written quote. We do not take deposits to quote.
