Removals in Durham – Planned Home and Business Moves
The right removals service depends on property size, volume, access, distance, and any packing support needed. Share your move details to plan the right level of help.
If you’re between sizes, choose the larger option — it can help avoid needing a second trip.
| Van size | Typical removals use | Approx. box guide* | Typical contents |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small van | Room move / bedsit with minimal contents | ~10–15 medium boxes | Clothes, bags, a few boxes, and a small number of smaller furniture items. Best if you’re moving light and don’t have bulky pieces. |
| MWB (medium) van | Studio / light 1-bed flat | ~15–25 medium boxes | Bed (often dismantled), small sofa, drawers, TV, and boxed kitchen items. A good fit for compact moves with some furniture. |
| LWB (large) van | 1-bed flat / larger studio / partial 2-bed | ~25–40 medium boxes | Bed, sofa, table, wardrobe, appliances, plus boxes. Ideal when you want more breathing room and fewer compromises on packing. |
| 3.5T Luton van | 2-bed flat / 2–3 bed home (volume-dependent) | ~45–70 medium boxes | Multiple large furniture items (sofas, wardrobes, dining set), appliances and a full set of boxes. The tall box body is well suited to larger removals loads and bulky furniture. |
*Box counts are indicative. Capacity depends on item dimensions, how furniture is dismantled, packing materials used, and how items can be stacked safely. Listing your key items in the quote form will give you the best match.
How to choose the right size (and avoid an extra trip)
- Count boxes realistically: include loft/garage/storage items and anything in cupboards.
- Bulky items reduce capacity fast: wardrobes, mattresses, large sofas, bikes, gym equipment and white goods.
- Dismantling helps: taking beds/wardrobes apart can make loading safer and more space-efficient.
- If you’re “between sizes”, size up: it’s usually cheaper than running out of space on moving day.
- For very full 3-bed+ homes or heavy/bulky contents, you may need more time, more helpers, or multiple trips depending on volume and access.
