House removals start at £75/hr with a small van and 2-person crew (2-hour minimum, £150). Most family homes use a Luton and 3 people at £130/hr (3-hour minimum, £390). You book whole hours, and overrun is billed in 30-minute steps. A small, well-packed house stays close to the starting price, while a 3 to 4 bed home with garage contents, packing or a long carry needs more hours.

House moves in Plymstock, Plympton and Stoke are semis and terraces. Send postcodes, floor levels and photos and we confirm the plan before you book.
Yes, provided you tell us beforehand. Lofts, sheds and garages tend to hold heavy or awkward items that change the van size and the time needed, and we would rather plan for them than discover them on the day. Give us the loft hatch size, any garage steps and the route through the garden. If part of it is heading to the tip, say so and we can plan that clear-out too. A few photos of the shelves are usually enough. House moves in Plymstock, Plympton and Stoke are semis and terraces. Send postcodes, floor levels and photos and we confirm the plan before you book.
