COST GUIDES

What moves actually cost

The cost guides readers use most: two borough guides with the parking charges worked in, the Croydon breakdown, and the two long-distance routes people price up first. Every total is worked from our published hourly card.

HOW THESE GUIDES ARE WRITTEN

Researched first, written second

A cost guide is only useful if its figures hold up on the day. Four rules govern every article on this page.

Council sources first

Parking charges, notice periods and permit rules come from the borough council’s own published pages, and each guide says when they were checked.

Our published prices

Every removals figure is worked openly from the same hourly card we quote from, rate times hours, so a guide never promises a price the quote would not.

Figures carry dates

Road charges and council fees change. Where a guide uses one, it says so, and the worked examples are labelled as illustrations from the card.

Updated, not abandoned

When the card or a council charge changes, the guides that rely on it are revised. A guide that no longer matches the facts does not stay up.

QUESTIONS ABOUT THE JOURNAL

Before you ask us

How often are new guides published?

New guides appear through the week, and each one is written around a single moving question: a route, a borough, a cost, or one awkward item to pack properly. The newest guide is always the featured article at the top of this page.

Are the prices in the guides current?

Yes. Every removals figure in these guides is worked from our published hourly card: £70 an hour for Driver Help, £85 an hour for 2 Men and £100 an hour for 3 Men, with a two-hour minimum. Council parking charges are dated in the guide that uses them. If the card or a council charge changes, the affected guides are revised, and your written quote is always the figure that counts.

Do the guides cover my area?

Very likely. Alongside the articles here, the site carries a removals guide for every London borough, area guides for 279 stations, and route guides for 25 long-distance moves out of London. The borough guides cover the local parking rules and access questions that the articles here cannot fit in.

Can I suggest a topic for a future guide?

Yes. Email info@vanoremovals.co.uk with the question you could not find answered, and it joins the list. Topics that other movers are asking about get written first.
