This is an approximate guide based on the journey, inventory and materials selected. Vehicle and crew requirements are based on estimated volume and workload, and adding or removing items may move the job into a different capacity/pricing band. It is not a firm quote or confirmed booking. We will review your move details and confirm the final price and availability.

Happy with your estimate?

Send us your details and we’ll review your move, inventory and estimate before confirming availability.

Why use it

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 are 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 is 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, with 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 ask for a short video of your home first.

Home removals with Best London Removals are always quoted at a fixed price, so the figure we confirm is the figure you pay. See our price guide for typical costs in outer and central London.

Add anything you missed in the notes when you send your enquiry, or mention it when we review your move. We confirm the final inventory before giving you a fixed price.

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.

No. Council parking suspension fees are separate and set by each council. You can arrange a suspension yourself, or we can apply on your behalf and add the council’s fee to your quote. Most London councils ask for 7 to 10 working days’ notice. See our parking suspension guide.

Yes. The calculator works for moves anywhere in England, Scotland and Wales. There is no mileage charge within the M25. If either address is outside the M25, it adds £1.50 per mile + VAT (one way).

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.

The calculator covers moves of up to 3 vans and 5 to 6 movers. Bigger moves are flagged for individual assessment, and we will ask for a video of your home, or arrange a home visit, to plan them properly.
