Pricing
Every move is different. The right pricing approach depends on the size and complexity of yours.
01
Best for straightforward moves where you are packing your own boxes and we are not supplying materials. You pay for the time the team is on the job.
Ideal for studio and one-bed flat moves, single-item or small load collections, furniture deliveries, and moves where you want flexibility.
02
Best for complete house or office relocations, or any move where you need us to pack, supply materials, or handle special items such as pianos, chandeliers, artwork or antiques.
We assess the full scope from a short video survey (free), or a home visit if you prefer, and provide a written fixed quote valid for 30 days. The price covers everything, with no surprises on moving day.
Why is it this way? Every home is different. A 3-bed house with minimal furniture and 30 boxes is a completely different job to a 3-bed house with a grand piano, a wine collection and 100 boxes requiring professional packing. Publishing one fixed figure for “3-bed house moves” would either overcharge simple moves or underquote complex ones. A short video survey, usually 10 to 15 minutes, lets us see exactly what needs moving and gives you an accurate price for your situation.
Man and van
Not every move needs a full-scale operation. If you are moving a small flat, collecting furniture, or handling a straightforward load you have packed yourself, our man and van service is the most cost-effective option. All prices below include VAT at 20%.
Driver only
£216
/ up to 3 hours
Our minimum charge, fixed for up to 3 hours. If the job finishes early, the price stays the same.
2-man team
£396
/ up to 4 hours
Our minimum charge, fixed for up to 4 hours. If the job finishes early, the price stays the same.
3-man team
£780
/ up to 6 hours
Our minimum charge, fixed for up to 6 hours. If the job finishes early, the price stays the same.
The minimum charge is a fixed fee that secures your team and vehicle for the time shown. If the move runs longer, extra time is charged at the hourly rate. The crew will keep you informed throughout, so there are no surprises.
If you want the fuller context before deciding, our guide to choosing a removal company in London covers fixed pricing, hourly bookings, surveys, access planning, and the questions worth asking before you confirm.
Man and van
Chargeable time begins when the team arrives at your pickup address and ends when the job is complete. During that time the team will:
We can also professionally wrap individual items such as TVs, large mirrors, artwork and paintings. These can be quoted in advance or charged per item on the day.
Booking
We operate seven days a week, including weekends and bank holidays. Man and van bookings are offered in daily slots:
Standard start at 8:00am, with flexibility to start as early as 7:00am or as late as 9:00am if needed. Ideal for getting an early start and settling in by the afternoon. This is our most popular slot.
Start between 9:00 and 11:30am, with a minimum 6-hour booking. A later start means the team cannot take a job before yours, and a late finish makes it unlikely they can take one after, so the crew is committed to your move for the full day.
Start between 1:30 and 2:30pm. Useful if you need the morning for final preparations.
House moves
A professional removal in London typically costs from £335 for a studio flat in outer London to around £4,500 for a 4 to 5-bed home in central London. Best London Removals provides a fixed written quote once we have seen the contents to be moved, by a short video survey or a home visit. For small or low-complexity jobs, we also offer an hourly-rate man and van service.
Moves in central London usually cost more. Most homes are flats, the van often parks further from the door, and corridors, stairs and lifts all add time on the day, as do CPZ restrictions, red routes and managed-building access.

REMOVAL COSTS
Every move is different, and the final cost depends on more than the size of your property. From the volume of items and access requirements to parking, distance and additional services, we explain what goes into your quotation so you know what to expect.
The quantity and size of items being moved influence the vehicle space, number of movers and time required. A lightly furnished three-bedroom house may involve less work than a fully furnished two-bedroom flat, which is why we assess the actual contents rather than relying on property size alone.
Stairs, narrow hallways, restricted lifts and long carrying distances can affect the time and team needed. We assess access at both properties in advance, including floor levels, lift availability and how close our vehicle can park, to plan your move accurately.
Convenient parking helps keep your move efficient. Where parking restrictions prevent loading outside your property, a parking suspension may be necessary. We can help check the local requirements and arrange a suspension where available, with applicable council fees included in your quotation.
Professional packing is available for full households, selected rooms or fragile items only. The cost depends on the quantity of items, packing time and materials required, including boxes and protective wrapping. Packing services and supplies can be included in your fixed-price quotation.
Pianos, large appliances, heavy safes, antiques and delicate artwork may require specialist equipment, additional protection or extra movers. We assess the item's size, weight, access and handling requirements in advance, whether it is travelling to another property or simply moving between floors.
Travel distance and journey time can influence your quotation, particularly for moves outside London. We consider the route, vehicle requirements and any additional travel costs. Your written quotation will explain which mileage or journey charges apply to your particular move.
If your move requires our vehicle to enter London's Congestion Charge zone during charging hours, the applicable charge may affect your quotation. The standard daily charge is currently £18 when paid in advance or on the day. We account for relevant road charges when preparing your quote.
Our ULEZ and LEZ compliant vehicles meet London's applicable emissions standards, so no ULEZ or LEZ charge is required for those vehicles. This helps avoid additional emissions-related costs, although other road charges, including the Congestion Charge, may still apply.
Our vehicles
Our 3.5-tonne Maxi Mover vans combine generous loading capacity with the flexibility needed for London’s busy streets. With up to 24 m³ of loading space and an internal height of 2.7 metres, they can accommodate bulky furniture and taller items while remaining practical for residential access.
For many one- and two-bedroom moves, a single Maxi Mover provides sufficient capacity, depending on the volume and weight of items. Larger moves can be handled using multiple vehicles and coordinated teams, allowing us to plan around access, parking and your moving schedule.
The quickest way to get a price is a WhatsApp video walkthrough. Film a short walk through your rooms, focusing on furniture, boxes, any large or awkward items, and the access at your property (stairs, lifts, parking).
Include your dates and any special requirements in the message. We can often return a tailored quote within an hour.

A professional removal in London typically costs from £335 for a studio flat in outer London to around £4,500 for a 4 to 5-bed home in central London, depending on the borough, access and how much you are moving. Best London Removals provides fixed written quotes once we have seen the contents to be moved, by a short video survey or a home visit. For small or low-complexity jobs, we also offer an hourly-rate man and van service.
For full-house or office relocations, we ask for a short video of your home, recorded on your phone and shared on WhatsApp to 07507 637 861. Please include every room and focus on storage areas such as cupboards and wardrobes, especially if you need packing. This helps us estimate the volume, the vehicle size and the packing materials needed, so we can provide a tailored fixed-price quote. The quote is written, itemised and valid for 30 days.
If you prefer, we can arrange a home visit for a detailed assessment and tailored advice. This is free in some local areas; elsewhere there is a £60 + VAT fee to cover travel and parking, which is fully deducted from your final invoice if you go ahead with the booking.
As a guide: a studio or 1-bed flat takes 3 to 5 hours, a 2-bed flat or house 4 to 7 hours, a 3-bed house 8 to 10 hours, and a 4-bed home or larger a full day or more. Access, parking and packing can change this, so we confirm the timing with your quote.
If your move is straightforward, you are packing your own boxes and you do not need us to supply materials, man and van is usually the most cost-effective option. It works well for studios, 1-bed flats, single-item pickups and moves where you want flexibility. For anything larger or more complex, a fixed quote gives you certainty.
Yes. A 2-man team has a minimum charge of £396 (VAT included), covering up to 4 hours. A 3-man team has a minimum charge of £780 (VAT included), covering up to 6 hours. After the minimum period, standard hourly rates apply.
Because the cost of a move depends on what needs to be moved, how it needs to be handled and the access at both properties. A 2-bed flat with 20 boxes and a sofa is a very different job from a 2-bed flat with a piano, 90 boxes requiring professional packing and a fourth-floor walk-up. Seeing the contents, even by a short video, lets us quote accurately, so you are not overcharged or caught short on the day.
No separate stair charge. Access conditions are included in your fixed quote, or affect the time on a man and van booking. We assess access at both addresses before quoting, so the price reflects the actual job.
For man and van bookings, any time beyond the minimum is charged at the agreed hourly rate, and the crew will keep you updated so there are no surprises. For fixed-price moves, the price does not change; that is the point of a fixed quote.
Someone with access and authority should be present at both addresses to let the team in, confirm which items are being moved and check everything off at the destination. This can be you or a nominated representative.
For weekends and month-end dates, aim for at least 2 to 3 weeks in advance. For smaller man and van jobs we can often accommodate shorter notice, subject to availability.
Yes. We move pianos (upright and grand), chandeliers, antique furniture, heavy safes and fragile artwork. These items need specialist handling and materials, so they are assessed and priced individually during your survey. We do not publish a standard rate for them, because the requirements vary a great deal.
We accept bank transfer and all major credit and debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express). A 50% deposit secures your booking, with the balance due on completion.
