Long Distance Removal Services
A long distance move involves the same main stages as a local removal, including loading, transportation, unloading, and carrying belongings into the delivery property, with additional planning for the longer journey. Our long distance removal service covers these stages, with the vehicle, number of movers, and timing arranged around the specific job.
The service can be used for full house moves, flats, single items, and office relocations. Additional support such as packing, furniture dismantling, and reassembly may also be available where required.
What Does a Long Distance Removal Include?
Depending on your requirements, a long distance removal can include:
House Moves Out of London
Moving furniture, boxes, and belongings from a London property to another part of the UK.
Moves Into London
Collecting belongings from outside London and delivering them to a London property.
Flats and Apartments
Moving the contents of flats and apartments over longer distances.
Furniture Moves

Packing Support
Help with packing boxes and protecting belongings for a longer journey, where included in the service.
The exact service depends on your moving requirements. Providing details about both addresses and the amount of belongings helps the team plan the move and recommend the right level of support.
Planning a Long Distance Move
A long distance move needs more planning than a local move. The collection and delivery addresses, the amount of belongings, and the access at both properties all affect the vehicle size, number of movers, and time required.
Before requesting your quote, prepare:
- Collection and delivery postcodes
- Approximate list of furniture and boxes
- Number of rooms
- Large or heavy items
- Stairs, lifts, and access details
- Parking and loading conditions
- Preferred moving date
- Any packing or dismantling requirements
Providing an accurate inventory makes it easier to select a suitable vehicle and avoid problems caused by having too little space on a longer journey.
Journey Times and Timing
Journey times for long distance moves can vary depending on the route, traffic, and the distance between addresses. Planning the collection and delivery times carefully can help reduce avoidable delays.
It is worth agreeing the collection time and an estimated delivery window in advance, and making sure someone is available at the delivery property to provide access when the team arrives. Let the team know about any time restrictions at either address, such as building access hours or parking limitations, when requesting your quote.
For moves between cities, it can also help to confirm the delivery address details, parking arrangements, and any access restrictions before moving day, as these may be different from what you are used to in London.
Access at Both Addresses
Access can have a major effect on how long a long distance move takes. Before moving day, check the conditions at both the collection and delivery addresses.
Consider:
- Where the removal van can park
- Parking restrictions and loading rules
- Whether a parking suspension is required
- Number of flights of stairs
- Lift availability and size
- Narrow entrances or corridors
- Long distances between the property and van
- Restricted building access
- Any specific moving times required by the building
If there are unusual access conditions at either address, provide these details when booking. This helps the removal team plan the job and estimate the time and support required.
Moving Between Cities
Moving between cities is common for work relocations, university moves, and changes in family circumstances. A long distance removal service can help with the practical side of the move, from loading at the old property to unloading at the new one.
This can be useful when:
- Relocating for a new job
- Moving to university in another city
- Returning to London after time away
- Moving to a larger property outside London
- Moving a family member's belongings
- Relocating a small business
Let the team know the full details of both addresses and the amount of belongings so the move can be planned around your requirements.
Long Distance Removal Costs
The cost of a long distance removal depends on the distance and the size and requirements of your move. There is no single price that applies to every move because each job involves different amounts of furniture, distances, access conditions, and moving times.
The main factors that can affect the cost include:
- Distance between addresses
- Amount of belongings
- Van size required
- Number of movers
- Loading and unloading time
- Stairs and difficult access
- Parking requirements
- Packing or additional services
- Furniture dismantling and reassembly
- Moving date and availability
For a more accurate quote, provide your collection and delivery postcodes, an approximate inventory, access information, and preferred moving date.
