How do I calculate the volume of my furniture for moving?

Measure each item: length × width × height in metres to get cubic metres, or in feet to get cubic feet. Add all items together plus 15-20% for packing space. Our calculator does this automatically - simply add your furniture items or select your property type.

What size removal van do I need for a 2-bedroom house?

For a typical 2-bedroom UK house (approx 900-1100 cubic feet), you need a Large Luton van (900-1200 cubic feet capacity). This comfortably fits furniture from two bedrooms, living room, kitchen, and 40-60 boxes. For larger items or more belongings, consider a 7.5-tonne truck.

How many cubic feet is a typical 3-bedroom house?

A typical 3-bedroom UK house contains approximately 1,500-2,000 cubic feet of furniture and belongings. This includes 2-3 beds, wardrobes, sofas, dining sets, appliances, and 60-100 boxes. You would need a 7.5-tonne truck or larger for a full house move.

What is the average van size for a studio flat move?

A studio flat typically requires 250-350 cubic feet of space. A Small Van (300 cubic feet capacity) is usually sufficient for a studio flat move, including a bed, wardrobe, sofa, small dining set, appliances, and 20-30 boxes.
