If a removal quote doesn’t properly account for everything upfront, the final cost could be much higher than expected.

Here's how to avoid hidden fees or last-minute surprises:

  • Request a free video survey so the mover can log every item and access detail.
  • Reserve parking/permits in advance to avoid waiting-time charges.
  • Ask for a fixed-price contract that locks in labour and mileage.
  • Confirm insurance cover and excess, especially for valuable items.
  • Check whether dismantling/reassembly for furniture is included.

We recommend that you get removal quotes 4 to 6 weeks before your move, and book once your completion date is confirmed. Make sure you prepared for you move as well, checking out our moving house checklist will help.

Giving yourself at least a months notice gives you time to compare companies, secure your preferred moving date, and arrange any extra services like packing or storage.

Many of our removal partners offer extra services for a smooth move:

  • Packing Services: Removal companies can offer a full packing service or a part-packing service where only certain items are packed, usually fragile items. They can also provide you with packing materials to self-pack.
  • Furniture Dismantling: Some of our moving companies offer a furniture dismantling service to help with packing and unpacking. This makes your furniture removals much easier to manage on move day.
  • Overseas Moving: Moving abroad? International removal companies can help with your relocation overseas. They'll offer different packing types from part-load, road freight, shipping, or air freight.

FAQs

Removal costs are shaped by a few key factors. The distance between your current and new home affects fuel and travel time. The more items you have, the larger the van and team required. Costs can rise if your property is hard to access, like a flat without a lift or a home with limited parking.

Services such as packing, storage, or dismantling furniture will also add to the price. Finally, timing matters. Moving during weekends or peak months like summer is usually more expensive.

Location also plays a huge role in the total costs. For example, London removal costs are higher than in other parts of the UK due to the higher cost of living in the Capital. On the other hand, Birmingham moves are around £128 cheaper than the national average. For Scotland check out our guide on removal costs in Glasgow.

Most removal companies won’t transport hazardous materials like fuel, paint, or fireworks, as they pose safety risks and aren’t covered by insurance. Perishable food is also usually excluded, especially for longer journeys.

Plants and pets can be tricky too, since they’re sensitive to heat, movement, and time in transit. High-value items such as cash, jewellery, or important documents may also need to be moved separately.

A man and van service is a good choice for small moves, such as those from studio apartments or one-bedroom homes. Unlike traditional removal companies, these services often do not offer packing or storage solutions.

Tipping isn’t expected, but it’s appreciated for good service, like in any other service industry. A typical tip is £10–£20 per mover, depending on the job size and effort involved.
