What affects the price
Most quotes come down to a handful of things:
- Volume: how much space the items take in the vehicle
- Weight and type: a marble table or a piano needs more people than cushions and boxes
- Access: floor level, lift size, stairs and the distance to where the vehicle can park
- Building rules: permits, booked lift slots and fixed loading times can add time
- Dismantling: wardrobes, beds and racking may need taking apart
- Timing: tight deadlines, nights or weekends
Why online prices can be misleading
A low price quoted without seeing the items often changes on the day once the team sees the real volume or access. The most reliable way to avoid surprises is to give the company enough detail up front.
How to get an accurate quote
- Send photos or a short video of everything that needs to go
- Share your area, building name and floor
- Mention the lift, stairs or any building permit needed
- Tell them about anything heavy, fixed or fragile
- Say if you have a deadline
With this information most quotes can be given quickly over WhatsApp.
Ways to reduce the cost
- Group everything into one collection rather than several
- Bring items to one room or near the door if you can
