Moving pricing
Removals and man-with-a-van prices
Small moves are charged hourly because you only pay for the time on the clock. Whole-home moves are surveyed and priced as one fixed figure, so nothing changes on moving day.
Moving & removals price list
Man-and-van work is charged hourly with a two-hour minimum. Full house removals are surveyed and priced as one fixed job.

What moves the price
Volume, not room count
Two people in a 3-bed with a garage move more than a family in a 3-bed flat. A short video walk-through gets the van size right first time.
Access at both ends
Lifts, stair flights, carry distance and whether a Luton can park within 20 metres are the biggest swing factors on labour.
Distance and return leg
Under 20 miles is usually inside the hourly rate. Longer moves are priced as a fixed job including the return.
Dismantling and reassembly
Standard beds, wardrobes and tables are taken apart and rebuilt inside the base price. Packing is a separate service, priced on our packing page.

- Out-of-hours or weekend slot1.25× rate
How to pay less
- Book midweek and mid-month — Friday and month-end slots are the most contested in the UK.
- Pack yourself and label by room; a packed home cuts an hourly move by a full hour or more.
- Reserve the parking bay at both ends. Long carries are the single most common reason an hourly move overruns.
What sits outside the price
- Parking permits, congestion charge and ULEZ where genuinely incurred — always itemised, never marked up
- Congested or restricted access beyond a third-floor walk-up, agreed before booking
- Specialist waste (asbestos, clinical, hazardous chemicals) which we sub-contract to a licensed handler
- Out-of-hours work between 8pm and 7am, charged at 1.25× the standard rate
How you pay
- Debit & credit card
- Bank transfer
- Cash on completion
- Invoice, 14-day terms (contract clients)

Moving & removals pricing FAQs
Moving & removals prices, answered.
Is there a minimum charge for a man with a van?
Yes, two hours. After that we bill in 30-minute blocks for the time actually worked.
Am I insured while my things are in the van?
Goods-in-transit cover and £1m public liability apply on every job, with certificates available before you book.
When does an hourly move become a fixed price?
Anything above a 1-bed, or any move over about 20 miles. We survey by video and give one figure.
Is packing included in a removals quote?
No — the removal price covers loading, transit and placement. Packing is quoted separately per packer per hour or as a fixed price per property size, on our packing prices page.

I am more than impressed with the deep clean move-in service I recieved from Bobby and team. They arrived early, worked so hard all day, did a really thorough clean and exceeded my expectations, which made our moving in experience even better! Bobby and co.

Genuinely blown away by the high standard of the end of tenancy clean. Given the price, I thought I would be sacrificing a certain level of quality, but wow, Sardar was incredible. Arrived on time with great communication, got to work immediately, and even though the kitchen was a much bigger job than you would… Read in full →

I had a very positive experience with HelloService. I first used their service two years ago for the end of tenancy cleaning of my flat in Edinburgh, where I had lived for six years. I was quite nervous, as the property had been occupied for a long time, but HelloService delivered a very high standard… Read in full →
