Pricing guide

The price for a local move is driven mainly by total crew-hours and travel time within your chosen distance band. Moves with repeated stair carries or constrained access are typically slower and therefore more costly, while jobs toward the far end of local bands usually include larger travel allowances. After-hours attendance and any specialist-item requirements can also increase the final cost.

  • Move distance and travel time

    Longer local distance bands generally increase travel time and may require return trips or additional travel allowance.

  • Access and stair constraints

    Multiple flights of stairs or narrow, constrained access typically slow handling and increase crew time.

  • Speciality items and exclusions

    Pianos, safes, crane lifts and similar items are commonly excluded from standard quotes and often need specialist equipment or a separate quote.

  • Crew size and total labour hours

    Hours are calculated as total crew-hours, so the number of movers and how long they are on site affect the overall cost.

  • Parking and shuttle logistics

    If on-street or on-site parking near the property is unavailable, longer carries or shuttle trips can increase handling time and materials.
