How to use the calculator
01
Enter your journey details
Start typing your moving from and moving to postcodes and select each address from the suggestions. Click "Calculate journey" and the calculator works out the driving distance and travel time between the two addresses. Moves within England, Scotland and Wales are covered.
02
Add your furniture room by room
Work through the tabs for living room, kitchen and dining, bedrooms, study or office, garden, and other items such as the garage and loft. Use the plus and minus buttons to add each item. The calculator adds up the total volume as you go, so you can see how your move grows with every room.
03
Choose your boxes and packing materials
Add small, large and wardrobe boxes, plus tape, bubble wrap, kitchen packing paper and FurniGuard protective covers if you need them. If you'd like our team to pack for you, tick the professional packing option. The calculator suggests a box count for full packing and tells you whether packing can be done on moving day or is better scheduled for the day before.
04
Review your estimate
YoYour estimate shows the recommended number of vans and movers, the estimated time on the day including travel, and a clear breakdown of the move and travel cost, any mileage, packing materials, packing labour and VAT. Change any item and the price updates instantly.
05
Send it to us for a fixed price
If you're happy with the estimate, click "Continue to enquiry" and add your name, email, phone number and preferred moving date. Your full inventory and estimate are sent to us automatically, so you don't need to repeat anything. We review the details and come back to you with a confirmed fixed price and availability.
Why use an online moving cost calculator
It sizes the move for you. Most online calculators ask you to guess how many hours or vans you need. This one works it out from what you’re actually moving.
You see exactly where the money goes. Moving, travel, mileage, materials and packing are shown as separate lines, so you can compare packing yourself with having our team pack for you.
It’s built on our real prices. The rates, minimum charges and team sizes are the same ones we use when we quote, so the estimate reflects how we actually plan moves.
It turns straight into a quote request. One click sends your full inventory to our team. No forms to fill in twice and no need to list your furniture again over the phone.
It helps you plan your budget early. Knowing a realistic figure weeks before moving day makes it easier to compare options and book with confidence.
Is the estimate a fixed price?
No. The calculator gives you a guide price based on the inventory and details you enter. Once you send your enquiry, we review your inventory, access at both addresses, parking and any special items, then confirm a fixed price in writing. For larger moves, we may suggest a short video survey first. Home removals with Best London Removals are always quoted at a fixed price, so the figure we confirm is the figure you pay.

What if I forget some items?
Add anything you missed in the notes when you send your enquiry, or mention it during your survey. We confirm the final inventory before giving you a fixed price.
Does the estimate include dismantling and reassembly?
Standard dismantling and reassembly of beds and furniture that needs it to fit through doors is part of the move. If you have complex items such as large fitted wardrobes, mention them in your notes so we can plan the time.
Does the calculator include parking?
No. If your road needs a parking suspension, we can advise on the council process and include it in your quote. Most London boroughs need at least 5 to 7 working days’ notice. See our parking suspension guide.
Can I use it for a move outside London?
Yes. The calculator works for moves anywhere in England, Scotland and Wales. Mileage applies when either address is outside the M25.
What about pianos and delicate items?
Upright and baby grand pianos can be added in the living room tab. Items such as mirrors, artwork, display cabinets and TVs are flagged as delicate so our team can plan the right protection. For antiques or high-value pieces, add a note to your enquiry.
How accurate is it for very large homes?
The calculator covers moves up to 3 vans and 5-6 movers. Bigger moves are flagged for individual assessment, and we’ll arrange a survey to plan them properly.
