Moving on a budget?

We offer a small moves service for those moving locally and want to keep removal costs down. If you're moving within 30 miles from your original property and live in a flat or a small house then you could benefit from our small moves service.

How you can keep your removal costs down?

There are a few things you can do to keep the overall cost of removals down.

  • The time of the month and even the time in the week can influence the overall cost of your removal. Avoid weekends if you prefer to keep costs down.
  • It's also no surprise that moving in the summer holidays is more expensive. It's the busiest time for removal companies so if you can, try and move outside the school holidays.
  • It's also worth noting that the lead up to Christmas is also very busy and more expensive as people rush to move into properties before the Christmas period.
