Pricing guide

The cost of a small move is driven mainly by how many and how large the items are, and by access conditions at pickup and dropoff. A standard job assumes a single local trip with no professional packing or specialist heavy-item handling, while stairs, constrained access or after-hours attendance will typically increase the required labour and materials.

  • Number and size of items

    Hourly labour and material bands are based on item count and item bulk, so more or larger items usually increase the job duration.

  • Access and stairs complexity

    One flight of stairs typically adds a modest uplift, while multiple or narrow stair carries significantly slow handling and increase labour.

  • Specialist items and packing needs

    Pianos, spas or requests for professional packing/unpacking generally require additional time and a different scope or specialist quote.

  • Travel, callout and trip count

    The job assumes a single local trip with a regional callout and hourly labour rate applied, and longer travel or multiple trips can raise the overall effort.

  • Timing and after-hours attendance

    Work scheduled outside standard hours typically attracts higher rates and can affect availability and total cost.
