Worked illustrations from the published card. At this size the written quote, built from your inventory, is the number that matters; these are the shape of it. Every size in the family is priced in our guide to how much removals cost.

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 room by room. Add £5 per floor where a carry is by stairs at a flat; a house’s own floors are part of the access and are allowed for in the estimate.
A four-bedroom move is a capacity problem before it is anything else. The inventory is not four bedrooms; it is four bedrooms, two reception rooms, a study, a boarded loft, a garage and a garden, accumulated over years, across several floors. No honest quote treats that as one van load and a hopeful morning. The work is in the planning: how many loads, in what sequence, with which rooms established first at the new home.
So this page is built around the plan. The quote reviews the actual contents, route, stairs, parking and destination access before the vehicle and crew are matched to the move, and it states the staging in writing: one load or two, one day or a first stage for the storage layers, and what happens if the keys arrive late. Capacity planning is not a premium extra at this size; it is the job.
And the honest boundary: when a four-bedroom move is a whole established house changing hands in a chain, it is a house removal in everything but the bedroom count, and that page covers whole-house planning end to end. The crew, the card and the terms are identical; enquire from either page and the quote is built the same way.
Four shapes cover most four-bedroom moves in London. Each is quoted from the full inventory, every layer counted.
Usually 3 Men, full day, two loads or a staged day
Four bedrooms of furniture, two reception rooms, a study, and the accumulated contents of years in one house. The day is planned as a project: stages, load order, and the new home’s essential rooms established by the first load.
Storage layers first, main move on the day
Where the loading cannot fit one day, the plan splits it honestly: the loft, garage and garden move first (to the new home’s garage, or to a unit you rent), and the main move follows on the booked day with a house that is already half empty.
Essentials direct, the rest via your unit
The sale completes before the purchase does. The essentials go to wherever the family is sleeping; the rest goes into a storage unit you rent in your own name, stacked by us, and comes out when the chain completes. Each run is crew time on the card.
Two destinations, planned as one job
Leaving a four-bedroom home for somewhere smaller: part of the house goes to the new address, part to family, part to storage, and the decisions are sequenced load by load. The quote plans every destination in advance, so nothing is decided at the van door.
The main rooms of a four-bedroom home usually travel as one full Luton load; the whole home, loft, garage and garden counted, usually needs two loads or a staged day. Sequenced properly, that is an advantage: the first load establishes the new home’s essential rooms, and the second brings the storage layers into a house that already works. What matters is that the number of loads is decided at quote stage, from the inventory, and written down.
A four-bedroom home packs into 90 to 120 boxes, and large homes run past that. The usual pattern is a packing crew the day before the move for the kitchen, the fragile pieces and the remaining rooms, charged as crew time on the card with materials per item used (£5 a box, £15 wrap, £10 a roll of tape), while the family packs clothes, books and the children’s rooms. The split is agreed in the written quote, not negotiated over a half-packed kitchen.
Multiple floors are part of the same planning: the order rooms are emptied and rebuilt in, the heavy pieces’ routes through the house, and the pieces that need dismantling before they will travel at all. Pianos and safes are our piano and special items page’s work and can be booked into the same day. Parking at houses is usually a driveway or the street; where a suspension is needed, boroughs ask for 2 to 10 working days’ notice.
One honest note on the pile that is not moving. A four-bedroom home being left after years always holds one: the garage layer, the loft boxes, the garden furniture past saving. 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 capacity settled before the day begins.
Two postcodes, your date and key arrangement, and a list in layers: the rooms floor by floor, then the loft, the garage and the garden as their own groups. Photographs of the storage layers decide the load plan.
The quote comes back with the crew, the number of loads, the staging across the day (or across two stages), and the total. It is valid for 7 days, and booking takes no deposit.
Loads run in the planned sequence: storage layers where the plan puts them, the essential rooms loaded to arrive first, everything protected with blankets and straps on every load.
The new home is built in the agreed order: priority rooms first, then floor by floor, and every load 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 single figure for “a four-bed” that quietly assumes one load, with the second load and the extra hours surfacing on the day | A published hourly card, worked illustrations, and a written quote that states the loads, the staging and the total before you book |
| Who carries | At the cheap end, the family works the upper floors while the crew works the ground floor | Our crew loads, unloads and carries at every tier, floor by floor, loft and garage included where listed |
| Capacity | The van arrives, fills, and the rest becomes a problem to negotiate at the door | Capacity is planned from the inventory: two loads or a staged day is in the quote, sequenced so the essential rooms land first |
| Deposit and cancellation | A deposit to book is common on the largest moves, and cancellation windows vary widely | No deposit to book; free cancellation up to 24 hours before |
| The plan | A start time and a crew size, with everything else improvised | A written staging plan: load order, priority rooms, key arrangement, and the fallback if the chain runs late |

07459 180023A four-bedroom move is priced from the same published card as every move we run: Driver Help £70 per hour, 2 Men £85 per hour, 3 Men £100 per hour, with a 2-hour minimum. At this size the crew is usually 3 Men and the day is long, so worked illustrations run from £500 for a four-bedroom home with a contained inventory over 5 hours, to £600 to £800 for a full day with the garage and loft counted in. Larger or more complex homes are quoted per job in writing after the inventory is reviewed. Stairs add £5 per floor where the carry is by stairs, and packing materials, if booked, are per item used: boxes £5, wrap £15, tape £10 per roll.
A full working day is the honest planning basis: 3 to 4 hours of staged loading, the drive, then the unload and placement, room by room, at the new home. Homes with a full garage, a boarded loft and outbuildings can run past one day’s loading, in which case the plan stages it: a first load or a first day for the storage layers, the main move on the day itself. The written quote sets out the staging before you book, so the day is a plan being followed, not a hope.
The main rooms usually travel as one full Luton load; the whole home, with the loft, garage and garden counted, usually does not. The standard plan at this size is two loads or a staged day, sequenced so the new home’s essential rooms are established by the first load. We confirm the load plan in the written quote from your inventory: if your four-bedroom home is genuinely a one-load home, the quote will say that instead.
The quote is built from your room-by-room inventory: lists and photographs cover most homes, including the loft, garage and garden layers, which are the parts that decide the plan. Where the inventory is complex, a very large home, heavy or specialist pieces, difficult access, we will say so and arrange the quote around a proper review rather than guess. Either way the price, the crew and the load plan are confirmed in writing before you book, with no deposit.
As their own stages of the plan, listed separately from the rooms. The loft is emptied and sorted before the main load where possible, garage contents (tools, bikes, shelving) are packed as a group, and garden furniture and shed contents travel with the load that has the space planned for them. Anything in those layers 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.
Typically 90 to 120 boxes, and large homes run past that. At this scale, packing is usually a day of its own: a packing crew the day before the move for the kitchen, the fragile pieces and the remaining rooms, charged as crew time on the hourly card, with materials per item used (boxes £5, wrap £15, tape £10 per roll). Families often pack clothes, books and the children’s rooms themselves and book the crew for the rest. The split is agreed in the written quote.
When the move is a whole established house, multiple floors, a loft, a garage, a garden, and a chain with key times, it is a house move in everything but the bedroom count, and our house removals page is written for exactly that job. The honest position: the crew, the card and the terms are the same on both pages. This page exists for the size questions (capacity, loads, staging); the house removals page covers whole-house planning end to end. Enquire from either and the quote is built the same way.
Heavy furniture, large wardrobes, American fridge freezers and the like are planned into the crew and the sequence; name them in the inventory. Pianos, safes and genuinely specialist pieces are the work of our piano and special items page, and can be booked as part of the same move so the day is planned as one job. Anything fragile or valuable should be listed when you enquire so it is planned for, not improvised around.
Book a storage unit in your own name with an operator you choose, and we run the transport at each stage: out of the old home 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. At this size a staged plan, essentials direct, the rest via the unit, is often the calmest version of a broken chain.
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, and a room-by-room list with the loft, garage and garden as their own groups. 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.
