House removals,
local York moves done right.
Local house moves and man-with-a-van jobs across York and the surrounding villages. One crew, one van, lifted and carried with care, unloaded at the new place. Fixed per-move prices, fully insured on the road, same-day where the diary allows.
Moving day, without the rush.
Packing boxes is the easy part. The bit that unravels a move is the clock on the day: keys handed over at one end, completion at the other, and a crew that was meant to be there at 9am still isn't at 11. We turn up when we said we would, load your boxes and furniture the way they deserve, and get it all to the new place without a scramble.
We price per move, not per hour. Walk us through the property beforehand (in person or on a video call) and we'll quote within the hour. The quote covers the van, the crew, the fuel, and the lifting. If something unexpected turns up on the day (a piano you forgot to mention, an awkward loft), we'll tell you before the price changes.
Every move is fully insured for goods in transit, alongside the public liability cover we carry for our house clearance work. Furniture blankets and floor protection come on the van as standard, and flat-pack reassembly at the other end is included where it's reasonable. Most York moves are done in a single day. Bigger jobs we'll plan around your completion slot and, if it helps, load the night before.
Every move day, done on time.
From a single-bed flat to a four-bed family house, one York crew takes the lot in a day where the job allows.
Full-property moves
Flat, terrace, semi or detached. One crew from key pickup at the old place to key handover at the new, with a second trip fitted in the same day if the load needs it.
Flats & apartments
Ground-floor, first-floor, walk-up. Stairs don't change the price, and we'll carry what won't fit in the lift with the right kit.
Student & rental moves
End-of-tenancy moves out of student digs, new tenants into University-area flats, landlord resets between lets. Scheduled around handover dates.
Man-with-a-van jobs
A sofa too big for a car. A fridge replacement going to the in-laws. A wardrobe to storage. Same fixed-price approach as a full move, scaled to the job.
Packing help on the day
Boxes not quite sealed? Beds still assembled? We'll pitch in with last-minute packing and bed dismantle so the van isn't sat on the drive losing daylight.
Same-postcode shuffles
Moving round the corner or within the same estate. An hour or two with a full crew, not half a day with a national carrier who charges like it.
Three steps, no surprises.
Walk us through the property, get a fixed price, book the crew for move day.
Walk us through
Ring, WhatsApp or email. A short video of the property is often quicker than a visit. A rough inventory (rooms, big items, access) is all we need to price.
Get a fixed price
We quote within the hour. For bigger moves we'll pop round to see it, often same-day if you're local. Price covers crew, van, fuel and lifting. Nothing added on the day unless the scope changes.
Move day, sorted
We arrive on time with the right kit. Van gets loaded properly, driven over, and unloaded into the rooms you've picked. Flat-pack reassembled where we can. Keys handed back when we're done.
Fixed prices, per move. No hourly meter.
We price per move, not per hour. Volume, access and distance between the two addresses set the number. You'll have a firm price before we start, and we'll tell you before any change on the day.
Duty of care, covered.
We carry everything under our Upper Tier Waste Carriers Licence with the UK Environment Agency. That means we can legally transport waste that isn't our own and issue a Waste Transfer Note on request, so the paperwork lands on your side too.

Didn't find your answer? Give us a ring. We'd rather explain on the phone than have you guess.
Are you a removals company or a man with a van?
A bit of both. For smaller jobs (a sofa, a student move, a single-van load across York), it's the man-with-a-van approach: one driver plus one, one fixed price. For full-property moves we scale up to the same crew with more hands and two trips if the load needs it. Either way, the same local crew you'll have spoken to on the phone.
How much does a house move cost in York?
Fixed price per move, based on volume, access and the distance between the two addresses. A one-bed flat within York usually prices differently to a four-bed house with a ten-mile hop. You'll have a firm number before we start. No hourly meter, no call-out fees when we can quote from photos or a video walk-through.
Do you do short-notice moves?
Often yes. Same-day or next-day moves are doable for smaller jobs in York, subject to the diary. Bigger moves we prefer 24 to 48 hours' notice so we can schedule the right crew and van size. Ring us, we'll tell you honestly what the diary looks like.
What's included in the price?
Van, crew, fuel and lifting. Furniture blankets and floor protection come on the van as standard, and flat-pack reassembly at the other end is included where it's reasonable. Stairs or upper floors don't change the price. If something unexpected turns up on the day, we'll tell you before the number moves.
Are you insured for goods in transit?
Yes. Every move is covered by goods-in-transit insurance, alongside the public liability cover we carry on our waste and clearance work. Proof of both available on request. If something gets damaged on the way (it's rare), you're covered.
Do you pack for us, or do we need to?
Packing is on you by default, since most people prefer to box up their own belongings. We'll pitch in on the day if you're still sealing boxes when we arrive. Full-service packing can be quoted separately if you'd rather hand the lot over. Ring us first if you want that arranged.
Do you move pianos or safes?
Pianos and safes need extra kit and sometimes extra hands, so they price separately from a standard move. Upright pianos we can usually do in-house. Full grands and fire safes we'd talk through with you before quoting. Ring us with the details.
Can you store things overnight between properties?
Depends on the gap. A short overnight between completion and new-property access we can usually handle by loading the van one day and unloading the next. For longer gaps we'd point you at a local storage facility and either drop to their unit or handle the full move in and out when you're ready.
Can you move to areas outside York?
Our house-move service is York-focused, typically within roughly 15 miles of the Minster. Short hops outside that (to the next town over) are fine. Nationwide moves to London, Manchester or further we don't take on. We'll happily point you at someone who specialises.
What happens if I need to reschedule?
As much notice as you can give, please. Completion dates slip, we get it. If you let us know 24 hours out we can usually shuffle the diary without charging anything. Same-day cancellations we may have to charge for the van and crew time if we can't fill the slot.

Aaron was super quick in arranging my move on a short notice over a weekend. He and his colleague were very professional, extremely careful in moving fragile things and carried stuff to the upper floor on request.
