Durham Removal Companies

Removal companies in Durham typically charge from around £200 for a small flat move to £1,200+ for a 3-bedroom family home. The total cost depends on property size, travel distance, and access at each address.

Costs may be higher for:

• Moves outside Durham or over long distances
• Weekend or end-of-month bookings (high demand)
• Difficult access, such as stairs or restricted parking
• Additional services like storage or special item handling
• Peak moving season (May–September)

Our registered removal partners in Durham provide everything you need for a straightforward, secure move. Each booking includes a professional team, the right vehicle, and all essential moving equipment.

What’s included as standard:

• Trained removal team and suitable vehicle
• Loading, safe transport, and unloading of your belongings
• Protective equipment such as blankets, straps, and floor covers
• Goods in Transit insurance during transportation
• Clear, itemised pricing before you confirm

Extra services such as dismantling or storage may be available for an additional cost. Parking fees, congestion charges, or ULEZ costs are not usually included in base quotes but are clearly shown before booking.

To get the best availability and price, book your removal company around 4–6 weeks before moving day. Early booking gives you more choice of dates and ensures the right team and van size are available for your move.

When to book:

• Peak season (May–September): 6–8 weeks ahead, especially for weekends
• End-of-month: 4–6 weeks ahead (high demand)
• Off-peak months (October–April): 3–4 weeks ahead
• Mid-week moves: Usually available with 2–4 weeks’ notice

Booking in advance also helps ensure your item list and timing can be updated easily if plans change. For last-minute moves, short-notice slots are often available. You can still book online, but it’s best to call us to confirm availability.

The cheapest days to move house are typically mid-week (Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday) and outside of peak periods. Weekends and the end of the month are the most expensive times to move due to high demand.

How to get the best price:

• Choose mid-week: Monday to Thursday moves cost less than Friday-Sunday bookings
• Avoid month-ends: The last week of the month is always busy and more expensive
• Move off-season: October to April generally offers better rates than summer months
• Be flexible: If you can adjust your moving date by a few days, you may find cheaper options

There are several practical ways to reduce your removal costs without compromising on service quality. A bit of planning and flexibility can make a significant difference to your final bill.

Money-saving tips:

• Book mid-week: Tuesday to Thursday moves are cheaper than weekend bookings
• Avoid peak times: Move mid-month rather than at month-end, and choose off-peak season (October-April) if possible
• Declutter first: The less you move, the lower your cost. Donate, sell, or dispose of items you don't need
• Be ready on time: Avoid waiting time charges by having everything packed and ready when the removal team arrives
• Move items to the ground floor yourself: This makes loading faster and reduces the charge for carrying up and down stairs
• Provide accurate details: Give precise information about your move to avoid unexpected charges on the day

Your removal price is fixed once you book, based on your property size, distance, and access. Time-based moves start when your team arrives and finish when the job is complete, including loading, travel, and unloading. Prices only change if something on the day differs from your booking — like extra items, poor access, or delays beyond your agreed hours. Any changes are explained before continuing, and waiting time is charged at the half-hourly rate listed on your booking form. Our support team is always available during business hours if you have any questions about your booking or if there are any issues on the day .
