UK House Removal Costs: A Clear Price Overview
Understanding how much house removals cost starts with knowing what size of service you actually need. Prices in the UK vary based on property size, distance, crew size, and we offer packing included.
Here is what you can expect from Giant Van:
Man and Van service: £45 to £300. Suited to studio flats, one-bedroom properties, or single-room moves. A single mover with a van for a short local journey in areas like Hackney or Tooting typically starts around £45 per hour. A half-day job including a second floor flat in Brixton Road might run £150 to £200.
House Removals: £250 to £850. A two-bedroom house in Putney moving to a three-bedroom in Croydon will typically cost £350 to £550. A larger five-bedroom property with full packing and dismantling in Hampstead can reach the upper end at £750 to £850.
Office Removals: £300 to £600. Small offices with 5 to 10 workstations in areas like Shoreditch or Canary Wharf typically fall between £300 and £450.
These figures are guideline prices. Your actual cost depends on factors like parking access, lift availability, fragile items, and how far the lorry needs to travel. Ring Giant Van on and we will give you a firm quote within minutes.
How Access and Property Type Affect Your Removal Price
Access is one of the most underestimated cost factors in any house move.
The easier our crew can reach your front door, the faster the job runs, and the lower your final bill.
Narrow streets add time.
Roads like Portobello Road in Notting Hill or Coldharbour Lane in Camberwell are well-known for tight parking. If our lorry cannot park within 20 metres of your entrance, our crew spend more time carrying items over a longer distance. That time adds up.
Stairs are priced separately.
Ground-floor flats are the fastest to clear. A first-floor Victorian conversion in Islington with no lift will cost noticeably more than a ground-floor flat in the same street. Each additional flight typically adds 15 to 20 minutes per load.
Lifts help, but not always.
High-rise flats in towers like those on the Pepys Estate in Deptford can be fast to clear if the lift is large enough for furniture. But if the lift is too small for a wardrobe, items go via the stairwell anyway.
Parking permits matter.
Some London boroughs require a suspension permit for our lorry to park legally. Giant Van handles the permit application for you in most cases, though council fees apply and vary by borough. Westminster, for example, charges more than Lewisham. We factor this in and tell you upfront.
Always photograph or video the access at both your current and new property before booking.

Get your exact priceTips to Reduce Your House Removal Costs
7 Tips
Removal companies fill up fast on Fridays and at month end. A four-week advance booking on a Tuesday or Wednesday in March rather than a Friday in May can save you 15 to 20 percent on the same job.
The less there is to move, the lower your price. Go through cupboards, lofts, and garages before our surveyor visits. Donating furniture to British Heart Foundation or Emmaus before your move can meaningfully cut the number of boxes our team loads.
Giant Van offers full packing services, but if you can pack your own books, linen, and kitchenware, you reduce the labour hours on the day. We still recommend letting us handle mirrors, artwork, and antiques.
Double-walled boxes for books and dish-cell packaging for crockery will keep items safe without premium mark-ups.
Saturdays in July and August are the most expensive slots in London. A Tuesday in February or March is often significantly cheaper for the same move distance and crew size.
Delays caused by incomplete packing or locked rooms at the collection address mean the clock keeps running. Being ready when our crew arrives saves you money directly.

When you book a house removal with Giant Van, you get a fully managed service with no hidden add-ons.
Here is what our standard house removal includes.
Loading and unloading.
Our crew load every item from your property into the vehicle carefully, using furniture blankets and strapping to prevent movement in transit.
On arrival, we unload and place furniture in the rooms you direct.
Furniture protection.
Sofas, beds, and dining tables are wrapped in transit blankets.
Fragile items are handled individually.

Insurance.
Our goods-in-transit insurance covers your belongings during the move.
For items of particularly high value, such as a grand piano on Anson Road in Tufnell Park or artwork in a St John's Wood property, we recommend discussing declared value cover at the time of booking.

Why Customers Choose Giant Van for House Removals
There are dozens of removal companies in the UK, so why do customers come back to Giant Van and recommend us to family and friends?
Transparent pricing is the most common reason cited. When we give you a quote for how much your house removal will cost, that is the price you pay. We do not add fuel surcharges, stair fees, or congestion charges after the fact without telling you in advance.
Experienced crews make a real difference. Our staff are trained in furniture protection, efficient loading patterns, and safe manual handling. A poorly packed lorry means items shift in transit. Our crews have moved furniture in narrow Victorian hallways, up winding staircases in Edwardian mansion blocks, and across long-haul routes to Scotland. They know what they are doing.
We use the right vehicles. Giant Van maintains a fleet that includes small vans for studio flats, Luton vans for two and three-bedroom properties, and 7.5-tonne vehicles for large houses or office moves. We match the vehicle to the job, not the other way around.
Reliability matters most on moving day. We arrive on time. If there is ever a serious delay due to traffic or a vehicle issue, we contact you immediately and keep you informed. We do not leave you standing at your front door.
Communication throughout. From quote to completion, you have a direct line to the team. Our office team answer the phone. On , you speak to a person, not a chatbot or an automated system.
Giant Van has completed thousands of moves across the UK and we treat each one with the same care as the last.

Best Times to Book a House Removal and What They Cost
7 Tips
UK removal prices are driven by demand, and demand follows predictable patterns throughout the year and week.
School holidays create a surge in family moves, and end-of-tenancy cycles push weekend demand to its peak. A Friday move in July from Wimbledon to Guildford could cost 20 to 30 percent more than the identical move on a Tuesday in February.
Crews are available, parking is easier in most residential streets, and the overall pace of the day is calmer. If your completion date is flexible by even a day or two, choosing a midweek slot often delivers a noticeably lower quote.
Demand drops sharply after the December holiday period and picks up again from March. If you can time a move to late January or early February, you are likely to get our best available pricing.
The 28th to the 31st and the 1st to the 3rd are peak booking windows. Mid-month moves, particularly the 10th to the 20th, tend to have better availability and lower prices.
Last-minute bookings within 48 to 72 hours are often possible, but availability is limited and prices reflect that.

How Much Does House Removals Cost in the UK? — FAQs
How much does house removals cost for a two-bedroom property?
A two-bedroom house or flat removal typically costs between £300 and £550 with Giant Van, depending on your location, floor level, and distance to the new property. A ground-floor flat in Lewisham moving locally will cost less than a second-floor conversion in Highgate moving to Brighton. Call for an accurate quote based on your specific details.
Do removal companies charge by the hour or by the job?
Giant Van charges by the job for full house removals, meaning you receive a fixed price upfront and pay that amount regardless of how long the move takes. Man and van services for smaller moves may be quoted hourly. A fixed-price job is better for budgeting because there are no surprises if the move runs slightly longer than planned. We make this clear at the time of quoting.
Are there extra charges for stairs or difficult access?
Stairs and difficult access can affect your removal price, but Giant Van will always tell you about any access-related costs before you confirm your booking. If your property on Highbury New Park has three flights of stairs or parking is restricted on Streatham High Road, we factor that into your quote. We do not add surprise charges on moving day. Always mention access details when booking.
How far in advance should I book a house removal?
Booking three to four weeks ahead gives you the best choice of dates and crew sizes with Giant Van. If you are moving on a Friday or Saturday between May and August, aim for five to six weeks in advance as those slots fill quickly. Last-minute bookings within 48 to 72 hours are sometimes possible depending on availability. Call to check what slots are open for your preferred date.
Does Giant Van cover moves outside London?
Giant Van covers moves across the whole of the UK, not just London. We handle long-distance relocations from London to Manchester, Birmingham, Bristol, Leeds, Edinburgh, and Cardiff regularly. Long-distance moves are quoted individually based on mileage, vehicle size, and crew requirements. Call with your current and destination postcodes and we will give you a price on the same call.
What happens if something gets damaged during the move?
Giant Van carries goods-in-transit insurance that covers your belongings while they are being moved. If an item is damaged during the removal, report it to us on the day and we will raise a claim. For high-value items such as antiques, artwork, or musical instruments, we recommend discussing declared value cover at the time of booking to ensure adequate protection for those specific pieces.
Can I pack my own boxes and still use Giant Van?
Absolutely. Many customers pack their own boxes and belongings and use Giant Van purely for the transport and heavy lifting. This approach reduces your removal cost because it removes the packing labour from the job. We recommend using double-walled boxes for books and heavy items. Our team will still wrap and protect large furniture items on the day as part of the standard service.
What is the cheapest time of year to move house in the UK?
January, February, and November are typically the cheapest months for house removals in the UK. Demand drops significantly after the December period and before the spring surge. Moving mid-week rather than on a Friday or Saturday also reduces costs. If your moving date is flexible, choosing a Tuesday or Wednesday in late January can result in a noticeably lower price compared with a peak weekend slot in summer.
