London Removals and Storage offers straightforward, competitive pricing for every type of move, from small man and van jobs to full house removals with storage. Our removal company prices are based on what you actually move, not confusing hidden extras, so you always know where you stand before moving day.
We keep our pricing simple, clear and fair. Every quote is tailored to your job, but follows the same transparent structure:
We assess the volume of your items in cubic yards or by load size, the number of movers required, the access at each property, and any optional extras such as packing or storage. From this, we calculate a fixed price or an agreed hourly rate, depending on what suits you best.
There are no hidden surcharges for stairs, long walks from the van, or central London postcodes. If your move is more complex, we explain why and how that affects the cost. The price you receive in your written quote is the price you pay, as long as the job details stay the same.
To keep removal company prices clear and comparable, we primarily use load-based or cubic-yard pricing. This is particularly helpful for busy London areas where access can limit vehicle sizes, such as narrow streets in Islington, parking-restricted zones in Kensington, or high-density blocks in Canary Wharf.
Cubic-yard pricing means we estimate how much space your belongings will take in the removal vehicle. For example, a typical one-bedroom flat in a converted Victorian terrace in Clapham or Hackney might be around 80 to 120 cubic yards, depending on how furnished the property is.
For man and van cost calculations, we often work with part-loads or smaller volumes, which helps keep costs low for studio flats and small office clearances. If you only need half a load or a few bulky items moved, we quote specifically for that volume so you are not paying for unused space.
Our man and van service is ideal for smaller moves, single bulky items, student relocations, and quick city-centre jobs. Man and van cost is usually calculated on an hourly basis, combined with the distance between addresses and the expected load size.
This service works especially well for moves between busy locations such as City of London apartments near Bank, Docklands flats around Canary Wharf, or student halls in areas like Bloomsbury and South Kensington. The flexibility of our man and van teams allows for fast turnarounds and short-notice bookings.
To keep control of your man and van costs, you can choose a simple time-based quote or a capped price based on a detailed inventory. We will advise which option is best once we know more about your move.
Every move is different, but these example jobs show how our pricing works in practice across common London property types and locations.
Studio flat move: A typical studio apartment move from a new-build block in Stratford to a similar property in Greenwich might involve a small load, suitable for one van and two movers. With lift access at both ends and minimal packing required, this job is usually priced as a short, local move at the lower end of our scale.
One-bedroom flat move: Moving a one-bedroom flat from a Victorian conversion in Tooting to a similar property in Brixton often involves stairs, tight hallways and resident-permit parking. The load is generally mid-sized, taking part or all of a van’s capacity. We would base the quote on the estimated cubic yards and build in realistic loading and unloading time to avoid surprise extensions.
Two-bedroom terrace house move: A move from a two-bedroom terraced house in Wimbledon to a semi-detached property in Ealing is a common family relocation. The load tends to fill a larger van or require more than one trip, especially if there is garden furniture and bikes. Pricing is primarily load-based with an allowance for packing help if needed, plus any disassembly or reassembly of beds and wardrobes.
City-centre apartment move: For a high-rise flat in central London, for example a two-bedroom apartment near London Bridge moving to a riverside block in Battersea, we factor in lift bookings, concierge rules and timed access. The cubic-yard estimate gives a baseline, while the access conditions and building regulations shape the final price, all laid out clearly in your quote so you can plan around it.
Office or small business move: A small office relocation from Shoreditch to Old Street often involves desks, filing cabinets, computers and meeting room furniture. Here, load-based pricing is combined with a time estimate for packing IT equipment and securing sensitive documents. We provide a clear schedule and cost breakdown so you can budget and minimise downtime.
Busy London moves can be unpredictable, but our approach is designed to protect your budget.
We confirm parking and access in advance where possible, reducing delays caused by restricted streets in areas like Notting Hill or Camden. We match vehicle size to your property type and location, choosing smaller vans for narrow mews roads or larger vehicles for suburban houses in places such as Barnet or Bromley.
We also offer practical tips when quoting, such as how to reduce your cubic-yard volume by decluttering before the move, or how pre-packing non-fragile items can shorten loading times for man and van jobs. These small changes can make a noticeable difference to your final bill.
Every quote from London Removals and Storage is completely free and carries no obligation to book. Whether you want a quick estimate for a man and van cost or a detailed survey for a full house removal with storage, we are happy to provide clear written pricing for you to compare.
For smaller moves, we can usually quote based on a short description of your items, property type and locations. For larger homes, busy multi-storey apartment blocks, or complex office moves, we may suggest a video or in-person survey to measure your load in cubic yards accurately and discuss any special access considerations.
Once you receive your quote, you have time to review it, ask questions and make adjustments. If your plans change, we can update the quote to reflect new dates, destinations or services, still with no obligation to proceed.
If you are comparing removal company prices across London or trying to understand the likely man and van cost for a smaller job, our team is ready to help. Tell us what you are moving, where you are moving from and to, and any special requirements. We will then provide a clear, written quote based on load size, access and the level of service you prefer, so you can move with confidence and control over your budget.
