How Much Does A House Removal Cost?

Unfortunately, due to the big differences in house moves, it’s not possible to give a blanket estimate of how much it would cost for house removal. However, these are the main factors that will come into play when thinking about costs:

House Size - The first big factor in the pricing of your house removal is the size of your house. A one-bed flat will be able to be moved by a smaller vehicle and/or team, whereas a full-size family home will likely require something much bigger. How much stuff you need to move will indicate whether your house removal is likely to be cheaper or more costly.

Distance - Along with size, distance plays a big part in the cost of your move. Cross-country moves will always cost a little more than shorter house removal trips, but the cost per mile often drops for longer journeys, so it won’t break the bank.

Timings - If your house removal needs to happen on a certain time or date, then this may cost you a little more. This is because on Shiply most of the house removal services are looking to fill space in their vehicles or schedules and so can offer better rates. The more flexible you are able to be, the better the quotes will be.

Help - If you need help disassembling, packing, and loading the vehicle, then this will likely cost you a bit more. Most services will offer this however and it is highly recommended that you use help when packing and loading - it is all of your possessions after all!

Preparing For Your House Removal

If you have picked a service to carry out your move, then you now need to prepare for them. With a house move, it can feel like there is a lot to do, so it’s easy to break it down into smaller sections:

Let People Know - When moving, something very important that can’t be forgotten is actually letting people know you’ve moved and your new address. Whether its’ friends, family, the post office or the bank, make sure you inform everyone who needs to know about your move!

Packing - Ask your chosen house removalist whether they will be able to provide and help packing as this will be the most useful, but in general you should ensure that anything that can be disassembled is, anything fragile is wrapped, and that nothing is rolling around in the van too much. Also, we recommend packing an overnight bag that has everything you need for the first night of your move, just in case you are too tired to unpack everything on the first day!

Photographs - Just as a fail-safe, you should take some photographs of your items (particularly anything valuable or delicate) just to serve as proof of condition prior to pick-up should anything go wrong.

What To Do After Delivery

Once your house move is completed, we recommend checking over your stuff just to make sure there aren’t any glaringly obvious damages or issues you have missed. You won’t be able to check everything, but we recommend raising any issues you have as soon as possible.

Finally, we ask that you leave a review and feedback score for your chosen house removal service so that future users on our platform can know what sort of level of service to expect from them.
