How many boxes do I need to move?

V✓ OFFICIAL ANSWERVano Removals · the team that does the moves
As a planning guide: a studio usually takes 10 to 15 boxes, a one-bedroom flat 15 to 25, a two-bedroom home 25 to 40, and a three-bedroom house 40 to 60, depending on how much you own and how much is already boxed.

Count by room rather than by property if you want a tighter figure: kitchens and books are the box-heavy rooms, bedrooms the lightest. Wardrobe cartons carry hanging clothes without folding them into boxes, so a wardrobe or two of clothes is two cartons, not six boxes. Order a little over your count; a move that stalls for want of boxes costs more time than the spare boxes cost money.

If we supply the materials, boxes are £5 each, wrap is £15 and tape is £10 a roll, and the quantities go into your written quote. Our packing materials calculator gives a room-by-room estimate if you want to work it through yourself.
