Illustrations, worked from our published hourly card (Driver Help £70, 2 Men £85, 3 Men £100 per hour, 2-hour minimum), checked October 2026. Your written quote confirms the total for your job before you book. Included beside every price: loading, unloading and carrying at both ends, blankets 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 at a flat; a house’s own stairs are part of the inventory and the access, and are allowed for in the estimate rather than charged floor by floor.
Three bedrooms is where a move stops being a morning’s work. The inventory spans several rooms plus the places families actually store their lives: lofts, gardens, sheds, the cupboard under the stairs. Loading has to be staged across the day, in an order that empties the old home in the right sequence and builds the new one in the order a family needs it: children’s beds before box rooms, the kitchen before the garage.
It is also the size where the calendar pushes back. School timing shapes the date, and where there is a purchase, the chain shapes the day: keys that arrive at two in the afternoon are a planning fact, not a surprise, if they are named when you enquire. A three-bedroom quote that ignores the loft, the garden and the key time is not a quote; it is a first draft. Ours are built room by room, storage layers included, with the staging written down.
Below this size sits the 2-bedroom move, where the second room decides the plan; above it the 4-bedroom move, where capacity itself becomes the project. Whole-house planning of every size is our house removals page’s home ground.
Four shapes cover most three-bedroom moves in London. Each is quoted from the full inventory, storage layers included.
Usually 3 Men, 5 to 7 hours
The standard three-bedroom job: three bedrooms of furniture, the family living space, a full kitchen, and children whose rooms have to work on the first night. Loading is staged across the day and the children’s beds are rebuilt first at the new home.
Usually 2 Men, 4 to 5 hours
The same room count without the garden layer: a three-bedroom flat or maisonette, where the work is the stairs or the lift, the corridor, and a full load carried through a building. The building side is planned at quote stage, floor by floor.
Usually 3 Men, with a second run priced in
A three-bedroom home whose loft, shed and garden hold a second household’s worth of boxes, bikes and furniture. The main rooms travel as one load; the storage layers are planned as their own stage or a second run, priced in the quote rather than discovered with the van full.
Planned backwards from the keys
Selling and buying on the same day, with keys arriving when the chain says they arrive. Loading starts early, the van is packed so the essential rooms can be established whenever the keys land, and the quote states the plan for a late key release honestly.
A three-bedroom home’s loft can hold a second home’s worth of boxes, and garden furniture, bikes and shed contents are bulky out of all proportion to their weight. List them as their own groups when you enquire, with photographs, and they are planned as stages of the day: the loft emptied early, the garden load sequenced where the space is. Left off the list, they are how a five-hour estimate becomes an eight-hour day.
The main furniture of a three-bedroom home usually travels as one full Luton load. The loft and garden often make a second run the sensible plan, and a short local second run is not a failure of planning; pretending it will not be needed is. If your inventory needs one, the quote says so, with the time allowed for it, before the day. If it does not, the quote says that instead.
Packing at this size follows the family scale: 60 to 90 boxes, with the kitchen the biggest single job in the house. A packing crew the day before, for the kitchen and the fragile pieces, is the pattern most families choose; our packing services page sets out how it is charged. Parking, briefly: houses usually give the van a driveway or the street outside; where a suspension is needed, boroughs ask for 2 to 10 working days’ notice, and any road charges (the Congestion Charge is £18 per day from 2 January 2026) are confirmed in the written quote.
One honest note on the pile that is not moving. Emptying a loft after years produces decisions: the outgrown toys, the broken garden furniture, the boxes nobody has opened since the last move. We move belongings to a new address, into storage, or to a person or charity you name. We are a removals service, not a licensed waste carrier, so we do not take items away for disposal. For disposal, your council’s bulky waste collection or a registered waste carrier is the legal route, and the duty of care for the waste stays with the householder.
Four steps, with the day staged rather than improvised.
Two postcodes, your date, the key arrangement if you are buying, and a list that treats the loft, garden and shed as their own groups. Photographs of the storage layers are worth more than measurements at this size.
The quote comes back in writing with the crew, the load plan (one load, or a second run priced in), the staging across the day and the total. It is valid for 7 days, and booking takes no deposit.
Loading runs in stages: the rooms that empty the house first, the priority rooms loaded last so they come off first. Everything travels protected with blankets and straps.
At the new home the children’s beds are rebuilt first, then the main rooms are placed in order, and the load is checked off with you before we leave. Payment is at the time of service.
| Point of comparison | The typical way | With Vano Removals |
|---|---|---|
| The price | A day rate for “a three-bed”, with the loft, the second run and the overrun all negotiated on the day | A published hourly card and a worked total in writing, with the load plan and any second run priced in at quote stage |
| Who carries | At the cheap end, the family does the stairs and the loft while the crew does the ground floor | Our crew loads, unloads and carries at every tier, loft and garden included where listed |
| The storage layers | The loft and shed treated as an afterthought, discovered when the van is already full | Loft, garden and shed listed as their own groups and staged into the day from the start |
| Deposit and cancellation | A deposit to book is common on family-sized moves, and cancellation windows vary widely | No deposit to book; free cancellation up to 24 hours before |
| The chain | A start time agreed as if keys arrive at nine, and a crew standing idle, on your bill, when they do not | The day is planned backwards from your key arrangement, with the staging stated in the quote |

Common questions about three-bedroom moves, cost first. If you do not see yours, call us. We are happy to help.
Published rates, a written quote, and no deposit. The fastest way to price a three-bedroom move is to send the full inventory, storage layers included.
07459 180023On our published card: Driver Help £70 per hour, 2 Men £85 per hour, 3 Men £100 per hour, with a 2-hour minimum on every booking. A three-bedroom move is crew time at family scale: a three-bedroom flat or maisonette with 2 Men over 4 to 5 hours totals £340 to £425, and a family house with 3 Men over 5 to 7 hours totals £500 to £700. Stairs add £5 per floor where the carry is by stairs. If you book packing, materials are charged per item used: boxes £5, wrap £15, tape £10 per roll. Your written quote confirms the crew, the load plan and the estimate for your inventory before you book.
Plan on the best part of a day. Loading a three-bedroom family home takes 2 to 3 hours on its own, and the unload and placement the same again, with the drive between. Access and inventory decide where in that range your move sits: a house with a driveway and everything packed is a different job from the same rooms up stairs with a loft still to clear. The written quote states the estimate and its basis, loading is staged across the day, and any overrun is charged at the same hourly rate you booked at.
The main furniture usually does: three beds, wardrobes, the family sofa set, a dining set for six, and the kitchen travel as one full Luton load. What often needs a second run is the rest of a family home: the loft, the garden furniture and shed, the garage layer. We would rather tell you at quote stage and plan the second run into the price than discover it with the van full. Send the full inventory, loft and garden included, and the vehicle plan is confirmed in writing.
Yes, if they are moving, and they are the first thing to list honestly. A three-bedroom home’s loft can hold a second home’s worth of boxes, and garden furniture, bikes and shed contents are bulky out of all proportion to their weight. List them as their own group when you enquire. Anything in the loft that nobody is keeping is a separate decision: we move belongings to an address, into storage, or to a charity you name, and disposal runs through your council’s bulky collection or a registered carrier you appoint.
Yes: a three-bedroom move is usually a family move, and the day is planned around the two fixed points, the school run and the keys. On a purchase, keys often arrive late morning in a chain, so loading starts early and the unload is sequenced so the children’s rooms work first at the new home. Tell us the key arrangement and any immovable times when you enquire and the plan is built backwards from them.
Typically 60 to 90 boxes: the kitchen is the biggest single job in the house, then books, toys, clothes and the loft. Packing can be booked as part of the move, charged as crew time on the hourly card, with materials per item used: boxes £5 each, protective wrap £15, tape £10 per roll. At this size, a common pattern is a packing crew the day before for the kitchen and the fragile pieces, with the family packing clothes and bedrooms. Either way it is priced in the written quote.
When the day has to be shorter or the carries are heavy: stairs at either end, a piano or large wardrobes in the inventory (pianos themselves are our piano and special items page’s work), a chain deadline with keys arriving late, or a loft and garden on top of the rooms. Three men at £100 per hour against two at £85 finish sooner, so the total often works out close. Where the inventory is standard and access is kind, two men are the honest recommendation.
Yes, where booked. Dismantling and reassembly are part of the booking terms for furniture that needs it: beds, wardrobes, cots and flat-pack are taken apart for the carry and rebuilt at the new home. At this size the sequence matters: the children’s beds are rebuilt first, so name the priority rooms when you enquire and they are loaded last.
Book a storage unit in your own name with an operator you choose, and we run the transport: the whole home, or the part you can wait for, out of the old house and stacked in the unit, then on to the new home when the chain completes. Each run is charged on the hourly card. The unit’s rent, access and terms stay between you and the operator; we do not hold belongings ourselves. Our storage solutions page explains how the two halves of that bill fit together.
Yes: a family move often sheds as it goes, a sofa to a relative, the outgrown furniture to a charity you name, a few boxes to a sibling’s garage. Additional stops on the run are planned into the quote, with the load sequenced so each stop’s things come off in order. Name the stops when you enquire; adding one on the day is harder and slower than planning it.
Insurance is as stated in your written quote: ask us to confirm in writing. If you are moving high-value, fragile or specialist items, tell us about them when you enquire.
Ask for a quote with your two postcodes, your date, the key arrangement if you are buying, and a room-by-room list, loft and garden included. The quote comes back in writing and is valid for 7 days. There is no deposit to book, cancellation is free up to 24 hours before the move (inside 24 hours, up to 25 percent of the quoted price), and payment is at the time of service.
