Quick answer
Cheap removals with us start at £140: the 2-hour minimum on a published card of Driver Help £70 per hour, 2 Men £85 and 3 Men £100. A small flat is usually £170 to £255, a 2-bed house £340 to £425, a 3-bed house £400 to £600. There is no discount and no sale: the card is the standard price, and cheap comes from method, the right crew, fewer hours, one load, your own packing. The total is confirmed in a written quote before you book. No deposit; free cancellation up to 24 hours before.

COST LEVERS
The Cost Levers, Ranked
Seven levers decide what a move costs on a published card. They are ranked by how much they usually move the total, and every one of them is in your hands before the day.
| Lever | How it saves |
|---|---|
| Right-size the crew | The total is the rate times the hours, so the dearest hour can give the cheapest move: 3 Men at £100 per hour finishing a stairs-heavy job in 3 hours cost £300, where 2 Men at £85 taking 5 hours cost £425. |
| Driver Help when one mover is enough | At £70 per hour, Driver Help is the cheapest hour on the card, and the right buy for light loads with easy access. The crew member still loads, unloads and carries with you: you are never left to move it all yourself. |
| Weekday flexibility | The rate is the same seven days a week. Flexibility saves on everything around the rate: easier crew availability, simpler parking, and less time lost at busy addresses. |
| Declutter before the day | Every item you decide not to move is an item nobody wraps, carries or loads. A room cleared before we arrive can take a full hour off the job, and an hour is £70 to £100 depending on the crew. |
| Batch jobs into the 2-hour minimum | The minimum is 2 hours whether the van carries one piece or six. A collection, a delivery and a run to a storage unit planned as one booking can all sit inside hours you were already paying for. |
| Do your own packing | Crew time is the bill, and packed, labelled boxes load fast. Materials are priced in the open if you need them: boxes £5 each, protective wrap £15, tape £10 per roll. |
| Measure first, so no second trip | A sofa or wardrobe measured against the doors and stairs it must pass is planned once. A piece discovered stuck at the door costs clock time; a second run costs a second booking. |
Worked Totals, Across Every Kind of Move
One row per kind of job people book when money matters, all worked from the same published card.
| Job | Crew | Time | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| One room or a few pieces | Driver Help | 2 hours (minimum) | £140 |
| Small flat | 2 Men | 2 to 3 hours | £170 to £255 |
| 2-bed house | 2 Men | 4 to 5 hours | £340 to £425 |
| 3-bed house | 3 Men | 4 to 6 hours | £400 to £600 |
| Small office of 5 desks | 2 Men | 4 to 5 hours | £340 to £425 |
| Student room out of halls | Driver Help | 2 hours (minimum) | £140 |
| Three furniture pieces in one run | 2 Men | 2 hours (minimum) | £170 |
Worked from our published hourly card (Driver Help £70, 2 Men £85, 3 Men £100 per hour, 2-hour minimum). Your written quote confirms the total for your job before you book. Included beside every price: the Luton van with a tail lift, loading, unloading and carrying at both ends, blankets, wrap and straps, dismantling and reassembly where booked, fuel and mileage within London, and placement in the right rooms. Add £5 per floor where the carry is by stairs (lift-served floors are not charged): tell us the floors at both addresses when you ask for a quote and the charge is in the quote, not a surprise on the day.
The Cheapest Hour Is Not the Cheapest Move
The budget end of removals is full of prices that look cheap for exactly one line, and then grow. The most common is the self-loading rate: a van and a driver at a tempting hourly figure, where the carrying is yours. Price a morning of carrying a household down two flights yourself, with the clock running whenever you rest, and it stops looking like the bargain it was advertised as. On our card, the crew carries at every tier, including the £70 Driver Help hour: one mover works with you, and the heavy planning is still ours.
The second is the per-item price that grows at the door. A sofa quoted as one item becomes, on the day, a sofa plus stairs, plus a doorway problem, plus dismantling nobody mentioned, each with its own little charge. Per-item pricing is not dishonest in itself, but it prices the item and not the job, and moving is always a job: access, distance and time included. That is why every price on this page is a worked total for a whole job, with the inclusions stated beside it, rather than a starting figure for one piece.
The third set of questions is the one to ask any quote you are comparing, ours included. What is the minimum number of hours? What do stairs cost, per floor or per item? Is fuel in the price or added by the mile? Who carries, and who packs? A quote that cannot answer those four in writing is not a cheap quote, it is an unfinished one. Our answers are on this page: 2 hours, £5 per floor where the carry is by stairs, fuel and mileage within London included, and the crew carries while packing is yours or a priced extra.
Because the total is always the rate times the hours, the fastest competent crew is often the cheapest move even at the highest hourly rate. A 3 Men crew at £100 an hour that finishes in 3 hours costs £300; a 2 Men crew at £85 taking 5 hours on the same stairs costs £425. Judge every quote, including ours, on the total for your job and what is included beside it, never on the hourly figure alone.
What Is Included, and What Is Not
Included in every booking
- The van: a Luton with a tail lift, enough for most flats and small houses in one load
- Loading, unloading and carrying by the crew at every tier, including Driver Help: you are never required to carry anything
- Furniture blankets, protective wrap and straps for everything on the van
- Dismantling and reassembly where booked: beds, wardrobes, tables and flat-pack, with fixings bagged and kept with the piece
- Fuel and mileage within London
- Belongings placed in the right rooms at the new address, not left at the door
- A written quote with the total confirmed before the day
Not included, stated plainly
- Packing and packing materials, unless booked as an extra: boxes £5 each, protective wrap £15, tape £10 per roll
- Disposal of anything you are not keeping: we are a removals service, not a licensed waste carrier
- The storage unit itself: belongings sit in a unit you rent in your own name; we provide the transport, not the unit
- Parking suspension fees charged by a borough, and any road charges: both are confirmed in the written quote where they apply
Nothing on the right-hand list is a surprise on the day: each item is either priced in the open on this page or confirmed in your written quote where it applies to your job.
COMPARE
The Typical Way vs With Vano Removals
| Point of comparison | The typical way | With Vano Removals |
|---|---|---|
| The price | A low headline figure that turns out to be a self-loading rate, a per-item price, or a rate with the minimum hours left unsaid | A published hourly card with the 2-hour minimum stated beside every price, and worked totals you can check with a calculator |
| Who carries | At the budget end, often you: the driver drives, and the carrying is yours | Our crew loads, unloads and carries at every tier, including Driver Help |
| How the total is built | Stairs, fuel, dismantling and distance surfacing as extras after the headline price has done its work | Stairs are a flat £5 per floor where the carry is by stairs, packing extras are priced in the open, and everything job-specific is confirmed in the written quote |
| Deposit and cancellation | A deposit to book is common, and cancellation terms vary widely at the budget end | No deposit to book; free cancellation up to 24 hours before; quotes valid 7 days; payment at the time of service |
| Things you are not keeping | Bundled into the same van with nothing said about where they end up | Honest routes only: a charity you name, a storage unit you rent, your council’s bulky collection, or a registered waste carrier you appoint. We are not a licensed waste carrier, and we say so |

“Best house removal company around. The team at Vano Removals was punctual, hard-working, and handled our furniture with great care. If you need reliable, stress-free local movers or packing services, I highly recommend them.”
“Vano Removals moved our 2-bed flat from Croydon to Sutton last week. The two-man crew arrived on time, wrapped the sofa and TV properly, and finished quicker than I expected. Nothing was damaged. Booking was simple and the final price matched the written quote. Would use them again.”

07459 180023On our published card: Driver Help £70 per hour, 2 Men £85 per hour and 3 Men £100 per hour, with a 2-hour minimum on every booking. That puts the smallest jobs at £140 with Driver Help and £170 with 2 Men. A small flat is usually £170 to £255, a 2-bed house £340 to £425 and a 3-bed house £400 to £600, worked strictly as the rate times the hours. Stairs add £5 per floor where the carry is by stairs, and lift-served floors are not charged. Your written quote confirms the total before you book, and there is no deposit.
Method, not a discount label. Right-size the crew for the load and the stairs, declutter before the day so you buy fewer hours, pack yourself if you can, stay flexible on the day of the week, measure the big pieces first so nothing needs a second trip, and batch small jobs into the 2-hour minimum instead of booking them one at a time. This page ranks those levers in order, and every one of them is in your hands before we arrive. The card itself is the same for everyone: cheap comes from how the move is run.
No. Driver Help is the cheapest hour at £70, but you pay for a total, not for an hour: the total is the rate times the hours the job takes. One mover working alone through a heavy load, or up several flights of stairs, can take long enough that 2 Men at £85 per hour, or even 3 Men at £100, finish sooner and cost less overall. Driver Help is the right buy when the load is light, the access is easy and one mover genuinely is enough. From your list and access details, we will tell you honestly which tier gives the lowest total.
No. The published card is our standard price: there is no sale, no was-and-now pricing and no discount code. Driver Help is £70 per hour, 2 Men £85 and 3 Men £100, the same card quoted to every customer. Cheap on this page means a cheaper total, earned by method: the right crew, fewer hours bought, your own packing, and one load in one run. Anyone can check our arithmetic, because every worked total on this page is simply the rate times the hours.
Yes, in the ways that shorten the clock. You are never required to carry anything: our crew loads, unloads and carries at every tier, including Driver Help. But staging light boxes by the door, keeping halls and stairs clear, and lending a hand with light pieces if you want to can keep a job inside the 2-hour minimum or save an hour on a bigger one. Heavy and awkward pieces stay with the crew: they are planned as 2 Men or 3 Men work from the start, and helping with those does not save money, it adds risk.
Packing and packing materials, unless booked as an extra: boxes £5 each, protective wrap £15, tape £10 per roll. Disposal of anything you are not keeping: we are not a licensed waste carrier, so disposal goes through your council’s bulky item collection or a registered waste carrier you appoint. The storage unit itself, if part of your load goes into storage: the unit is rented by you, in your own name, and we provide the transport only. Parking suspension fees charged by a borough, and any road charges that apply to your job, are confirmed in your written quote where they apply.
No. The hourly card is published on this page, the 2-hour minimum is stated beside every price, stairs are a flat £5 per floor where the carry is by stairs with lift-served floors not charged, and the packing extras are priced in the open at £5, £15 and £10. Anything specific to your job, such as a parking suspension fee or a road charge, is confirmed in your written quote before you book, not added on the day. The quote is valid for 7 days, so the total you agree is the total you can plan around.
As soon as your date is fixed. Month ends, Fridays and weekends fill first, and a written quote is valid for 7 days, so there is no benefit in waiting for a better price: the card does not change. Booking ahead also leaves time for anything your addresses need, such as a parking suspension, which boroughs arrange in advance rather than on the day. Short notice is sometimes possible when a crew is free, and it costs the same, but the moves that run cheapest are the ones planned with a little room to spare.
Yes, as transport. You rent a storage unit in your own name with the operator you choose; we load the storage part of your load, stack it in the unit, deliver the rest to your new address, and bring the stored part back out when you are ready. Each run is charged on the same hourly card, and splitting the load is planned when you book so the van is loaded in the right order. The unit’s rent, access and terms stay between you and the operator: we do not hold belongings ourselves.
There is no deposit to book. Cancellation is free up to 24 hours before the move; inside 24 hours, a cancellation charge of up to 25 percent of the quoted price applies. Every quote is given in writing and is valid for 7 days. Payment is at the time of service. The terms are the same at every crew size and on every page of this site, and they are restated in your written quote.
Insurance is as stated in your written quote: ask us to confirm in writing.
