Why are there no prices on a site called removalscost.com?
Because a figure given before anyone has looked at your move is a guess with a pound sign on it. Every removals price depends on the volume, the access, the packing and the distance, and none of those are knowable from a bedroom count. What we publish instead is an honest explanation of what moves the number, and then we survey your move and put a real figure in writing.
What actually affects the cost of a removal?
Seven things, in roughly this order of impact: how much there is, how far it goes, the access at both ends, how much packing you want done, whether anything needs storing, when you move, and the extras. Each one is explained in plain words on our page about what affects the cost.
Is the survey free?
Yes, and there is no obligation attached to it. Most moves are surveyed by video — you walk round on your phone and we see the volume, the doorways, the stairs and the access. For larger homes or awkward buildings we come out.
Can I get a rough idea before committing to a survey?
You can get a clear idea of what will drive your cost, which is more useful than a number that was never going to apply to you. Read the seven factors, work out which ones are true of your move, and you will know whether yours sits at the simple end or the complicated one.
Do you cover the whole UK?
Yes. We are not a local firm with a nationwide page — we work across the country, collecting and delivering in London, Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Bristol and everywhere between. There is no branch on your high street and we are not going to invent one.
