Opens with the whole estimate already written out.

Moving on the end of the month carries a busy period rate. A midweek date in the first half of the month would save about £205.

An estimate from typical volumes, not a survey. Parking suspensions, pianos and anything that will not fit down the stairs are quoted separately.

What this tells you

Most people want a rough price for a move before they invite anyone round to look. This takes the property, the distance, the packing and the date, then works out the crew, the vans, the hours and an estimated total with VAT.

The rates here are illustrative and belong to no real firm, so use it to see what drives the cost of a move. A removals firm will confirm the price once it knows what you actually own.

Have these to hand

  • The number of bedrooms you are moving from.
  • The distance in miles between the two addresses.
  • Which floor each home is on, and whether there is a lift.
  • Whether you want packing, dismantling or storage.
  • A rough date, since the day and the time of month both count.

Reading the result

The itemised lines show where the money goes. Change one thing at a time. Packing and the crew usually move the total most, while the distance can move it less than people expect on a local job.

Then try a different date. In this example a weekday outside the last week of the month is cheaper, because the end of the month is when many people have to move.

Questions people ask

Is this a quote I can book?

No. It is a working example with illustrative rates. A real firm would use the same questions with its own prices.

Why does a lift change the price?

Stairs slow a crew down, and time is a big part of what you pay for. A lift takes most of that extra cost away.

What if I own more or less than a typical home?

The tool starts from a typical volume for each size of property and shows that figure. If your home is unusually full or unusually bare, expect a surveyor’s number to differ.

Does the total include VAT and a deposit?

The total includes VAT. The deposit to book the date is shown underneath as part of that total.

Want this on your own website?

This is the real thing, not a mockup. We build these for removals firms and put your own rates inside, so the number a visitor sees is one you would stand behind. It embeds in the site you already have with one line of code, or sits on a subdomain with a single DNS record. We never need access to your hosting.

Fixed price, fixed date, agreed in writing before anything starts. Tell us what people ask you before they buy and we will say honestly whether this is worth doing for you.
