Extra Services You Might Need
Long-distance moving companies can offer different levels of service, so it is important to compare exactly what is included in each quotation.
Packing Services
Full or partial packing can be arranged for household belongings, fragile items, kitchenware and other possessions using suitable packing materials.
Dismantling and Reassembly
Beds, wardrobes, tables and other suitable furniture can be dismantled before transport and reassembled after delivery.
Storage
Short or long-term storage may be available when your collection and delivery dates do not match or your new property is not yet ready.
Man and Van
For smaller long-distance moves or a limited number of belongings, a man and van service can sometimes provide a more economical alternative to a full removal crew.
Specialist Item Moving
Some companies can transport items such as pianos, artwork, antiques and other bulky or delicate belongings requiring additional care.
Furniture Protection
Movers can use blankets, covers and other protective materials to help protect furniture during loading and long-distance transport.
Long-Distance Removals FAQs
💬 How much do long-distance removals cost in the UK?
Long-distance removals typically cost around £650–£2,000+, depending on distance, property size, volume, access and additional services. As a guide, a 1-bedroom move may cost around £650–£900, a 2-bedroom move around £900–£1,400, and a 3-bedroom move around £1,200–£2,000+. Larger homes, longer routes, packing and storage can increase the final price.
💬 What affects the price of a long-distance move?
The main factors are distance, volume, property size, access, parking, number of movers, vehicle size, moving date and additional services such as packing or storage.
💬 Is 100 miles considered long-distance?
Yes. Most removal companies we work with consider moves over 50–70 miles to be long-distance.
💬 Is a shared-load move cheaper?
It can be. Shared-load services allow several compatible moves to use the same vehicle, helping divide transport costs. The trade-off is usually less flexibility with collection and delivery times.
💬 Can my belongings be delivered the next day?
Yes, depending on the route, distance and mover’s schedule. Some long-distance moves are completed the same day, while longer journeys may involve next-day delivery, especially when they include packing service.
💬 What happens if my new property is not ready when the van arrives?
The mover may offer temporary holding or storage, but this should be arranged in advance to avoid extra waiting or redelivery charges.
💬 Can I track the removal vehicle during the journey?
Some companies provide driver updates, live tracking or estimated arrival times. Availability varies, so ask the mover what communication they provide during transit.
💬 Can long-distance movers collect one day and deliver several days later?
Yes. This is more common with shared-load services, where several customers’ moves are grouped along similar routes. Delivery dates should be confirmed before booking.
💬 How can I make a long-distance move easier with children?
When moving with children, keep essential items such as snacks, drinks, favourite toys, spare clothes and chargers with you rather than on the removal van. For longer journeys, plan regular breaks and try to keep familiar routines where possible so children are more comfortable during the move.
