Answers to common questions about finding and choosing the best removal companies.
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 total removal costs, with prices varying widely across the UK. London removal costs are often higher because of the capital’s higher cost of living, while Birmingham moves are around £128 cheaper than the national average. Glasgow is another more affordable location, with removals costing £775 on average, around 28% lower than the UK average of £1,080.
Most removal companies won’t transport hazardous materials like fuel, paint, or fireworks, as they pose safety risks and aren’t covered by removals 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.
Book a removal company as soon as your moving date is confirmed. For most moves, aim for 4 to 6 weeks in advance.
It is especially important to book early if you are moving at a busy time, such as a weekend, bank holiday or during the summer. Removal companies can get booked up quickly, and leaving it late may mean fewer suitable options.
Tipping is not expected, but it is appreciated when your removal company has given good service. A typical tip is £10 to £20 per team member, depending on the size of the move and the effort involved. Read our guide on whether you should tip your removal company for more advice.
