Moving quotes & costs: the London plan
A London move needs a borough and full postcode as well as a building name. For a flat, send the floor, lift-door dimensions and any move-in appointment before asking for a vehicle size. A concierge booking and roadside loading permission are separate arrangements.
- Your items and volume: include the details for both ends of this move.
- Distance and access: include the details for both ends of this move.
- Requested extras and date: include the details for both ends of this move.
What affects a moving quote?
The load affects vehicle capacity and handling. Distance affects travel, while stairs, long carrying routes and loading restrictions affect time at each address. Crew requirements depend on the items and the help needed.
Packing, materials, dismantling, extra stops and particular timing requests can change the scope. State them early so you can discuss a price for the work you actually want. No automatic estimate is shown for an unassessed job.
Three steps from enquiry to booking
- Tell us: postcodes, main items, access and preferred date. Use the provisional-date option if you are still planning.
- Discuss the details: review the load, crew, requested extras, timing and price.
- Agree the booking: confirm availability, scope and terms before treating the move as reserved.
Compare the complete service
Check whether the price is fixed or time-based, the crew included, any minimum period, travel and tax where applicable. Ask how extra waiting, additional items or date changes are treated.
Confirm cover and exclusions, preparation responsibilities and cancellation terms before booking. A lower headline price may describe a different scope; compare quotes against the same inventory and access assumptions.
Start before the date is settled
A tentative move can still be discussed. Tell us what is known and what may change, including key release or a seller’s collection slot. A provisional enquiry does not hold a vehicle or guarantee a future price.

Resolve borough, building and loading bay
For an inner-London furniture purchase, ask the seller to measure the item in its travel condition and show the route from the room to the street. A pavement handover must be agreed explicitly; it cannot be assumed when a seller offers collection only.
For this moving quotes & costs request, explain any uncertainty about your items and volume before accepting a quote. The collection-ready time, vehicle access and recipient availability must work together; a short driving distance does not remove the handling work.
Before you confirm moving quotes & costs
Send the full collection and delivery addresses, your items and volume and distance and access, and photographs of any awkward access. Ask for a written scope covering the handling required at your London address.
Check the proposed supplier, price, vehicle or crew, relevant cover and any waiting arrangements. Do not release the goods until the booking and handover instructions have been agreed.
