About this calculator
This removal cost calculator estimates what a house move could cost by home size, distance, access and service level, and shows the likely crew, van and time.
Our UK market estimate is independent. Any sponsored price is shown separately and labelled.
How the calculation works
We start with national benchmark prices by home size, apply distance and access factors, then add packing or dismantling if chosen. The range runs from 85% to 120% of the central estimate.
Crew, van and duration figures are MMG modelling assumptions to help you sense-check quotes.

About £958–£1,353 removal only, £1,519–£2,145 with packing and dismantling.
Packing service cost for a 3 bed
We estimate around £500 as an add-on — real quotes vary.
