Moving House Quotes

Question

I am moving soon, only 15 miles away and need someone to help for the heavier items/furniture etc as we can move smaller boxes etc on our own.  How do I get a quote when the time comes?

Mohsen · Answer

For a short house move in the UK (around 15 miles), where you only need help with heavy furniture using a man and van service, typical costs are:

Low end (small load, simple access): £120 – £180

Average (van + 2 people for 2–4 hours): £180 – £300

More complex moves (stairs, heavy furniture, longer loading time): up to £350

These prices usually cover labour and transport only.
The main cost factor is the time required and number of movers, rather than the distance itself.

Saul · Answer

More than likely they will set a price on time taken , and also how much of the van would be used .

Tom · Answer

Just phone up a company and ask if they can do you a fixed price for the day.

We regularly help with part moves and heavy items only, so this would be no problem at all. To provide a quick and accurate quote when the time comes, we’d just need:

Pickup & drop-off postcodes (15 miles is ideal)

A list or photos of the heavier items (sofas, beds, wardrobes, appliances)

Property access details (floors, stairs, parking)

Preferred date and time

Pricing guide:
• £60–£70 per hour (van + 1 mover)
• £90–£110 per hour (van + 2 movers)
Most part moves take around 2–4 hours, and we always confirm a fixed price upfront once details are clear.

For a short-distance move like yours (15 miles), many removal companies offer part-move or labour-only services, which sounds ideal if you’re planning to move the smaller items yourselves.

To get a quote, you can:
	1.	Contact local removal companies directly – Provide details such as:
	•	Moving date (or approximate timeframe)
	•	Both postcodes
	•	List of larger items (sofas, beds, wardrobes, appliances, etc.)
	•	Access details (stairs, lifts, parking restrictions)
	2.	Request a video or home survey – Some companies will carry out a quick video survey to assess the volume and confirm vehicle size and manpower required.
	3.	Ask for a clear breakdown – Check whether the quote includes:
	•	Number of movers
	•	Vehicle size
	•	Insurance cover
	•	Hourly rate vs fixed price

Since you’re only moving heavier items, pricing may be based on an hourly rate (e.g. 2–3 movers with a Luton van) rather than a full house removal package.

It’s advisable to obtain 2–3 quotes and confirm availability at least a few weeks in advance, particularly during busy periods.
