Guide prices including VAT, worked out for Cardiff from the same price list our quotes use. Your exact price comes from a few taps.
One person or two?
For anything heavy, such as sofas, wardrobes, fridges or washing machines, you want two people. It’s safer, quicker, and usually cheaper overall than one person taking twice as long.
How far ahead should I book?
A week is usually plenty for a small job. Fridays, weekends and the end of the month go first, because that’s when tenancies start and finish.
Moving a whole house?
For a whole house, a proper removal with wrapping, beds taken apart and put back up, usually works out better than several van trips. See removals.
