How Much Does Removals Cost in the UK?

Understanding where your money goes helps you compare quotes fairly.

Here is a breakdown of typical removal costs across the most common job types.

**Man and Van: £45 to £300** Man and van is the most affordable option. You hire a driver with a transit-sized van, usually charged by the hour. Rates start at around £45 per hour in many regions and rise to £80 or more in central London. A two-hour local move might cost £90 to £160 all in. A larger load that fills the van fully and takes most of the day can reach £250 to £300.

**House Removals: £250 to £850** A one-bedroom flat move costs roughly £250 to £450. A two-bedroom house move sits between £350 and £600. A three- or four-bedroom house removal ranges from £500 to £850. These prices assume a local or regional move. Long-distance moves between cities add fuel and mileage costs, typically pushing the price up by £50 to £200 depending on distance.

**Office Removals: £300 to £600** Office removals are priced by the number of workstations, floors, and specialist equipment such as server racks or large monitors. A small office of five to ten desks costs £300 to £450. A larger office relocation can reach £600 or above.

**Additional Cost Items to Budget For** - Packing service: £50 to £300 depending on volume - Packing materials: £30 to £100 for boxes, tape, and wrapping - Storage: £20 to £60 per week for a standard unit - Parking permits: £20 to £60 per location, depending on the council - Dismantling and reassembly: £30 to £100 for furniture

Giant Van operates across the whole of the United Kingdom.

If you are moving within a single city, between regions, or completing a long-distance relocation from one end of the country to the other, we have the vehicles and crew to handle it.

**Local moves.** We cover all major cities including London, Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds, Sheffield, Bristol, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Cardiff, and Belfast.

Local moves within the same city or county are our most common job type and are priced by the hour for smaller loads.

**Regional moves.** Moving from the Midlands to the North West, or from the South East to Yorkshire?

Regional moves are quoted as a fixed day rate that covers the journey both ways for the crew and vehicle.

**Long-distance and national moves.** We handle removals between any two points in the UK.

A move from London to Scotland, for example, is typically completed in a single day for a smaller load and quoted at a fixed price so there are no mileage surprises.

**Student moves.** We offer a dedicated student moving service at reduced rates during peak university changeover dates in September and January.

This is particularly popular for moves between cities and into shared houses.

**European moves.** Giant Van also handles removals to Europe.
