Some companies offer packing services — including for fragile or high-value items.

Step 3: Loading and transport

Your belongings are carefully loaded, secured, and transported to your new home.

How much do home moving companies cost?

The cost of home moving services will vary depending on distance, property size, and services required.

For local moves, removal companies may charge an average of £50–£80 per hour for two removal people and a van for a small move like a one or two bedroom flat. For larger properties, a fixed price will usually be quoted.

Before you hire, aim to get a selection of quotes from removal firms who cover your area. That way, you can compare prices and service packages side-by-side.
