What Factors Affect Moving Costs the Most?
1. Volume and Size of the Move
The volume of your belongings is the most significant factor in determining the cost. The more furniture, boxes, and items you need to move, the higher the cost.
• Tip: Declutter before moving day. Donate, recycle, or sell items you no longer need to reduce costs.
• At Pask’s Removals, you can share an inventory list via an online form, video call, or on-site visit—whichever works best for you. Based on this, we calculate the cubic feet required and provide a clear, accurate quote.
2. Distance and Stops
The distance between your current home and your new one plays a major role in the cost. Moves within London are typically less expensive than moves to outer areas or other parts of the UK.
• Additional stops: If you need to collect or deliver items at multiple locations, this will increase the cost.
3. Accessibility
The layout and accessibility of your property can influence the final price:
• Stairs: Additional charges may apply if movers must carry items up or down multiple flights of stairs.
• Elevator limitations: If furniture doesn’t fit into the lift and must be carried manually, this can also add to the cost.
• Tight doorways or hallways may require disassembly or special handling, which could increase the price.
4. Packing and Unpacking Services
Save time and effort by using our professional packing service.
• Full service: We’ll pack everything for you, ensuring your items are safe and organized.
• Partial service: If you only need help with specific rooms or fragile items, we can focus on those areas.
While these services add to the total cost, they save you significant time, stress, and effort, making them a very popular choice.
5. Storage
If your new home isn’t ready, our secure, climate-controlled storage solutions are the perfect option.
• Short-term or long-term: Flexible storage options to suit your needs.
• Cost-saving tip: Coordinate your move-out and move-in dates to avoid or reduce storage costs.
6. Additional Services
Some items may require extra care and attention, such as:
• Custom crating: For valuable artwork, antiques, or fragile items.
• Special handling: For heavy, delicate, or oversized items like pianos or sculptures.
We provide tailored solutions to ensure your unique items are moved with the utmost care.
