The Full Move-Out
Usually 2 Men, 2 to 4 hours
Everything you own, out of the rental and into the new place in one planned visit, sequenced against the check-out appointment so the last load leaves with time to spare.

Move out against a fixed check-out date: everything out, rooms empty, keys handed back on time, on a published hourly card from £140 and planned backwards from your check-out appointment.

An end of tenancy move-out with us costs from £140: a house-share room on the 2-hour minimum, on a published card of Driver Help £70 per hour, 2 Men £85 and 3 Men £100. A one-bed flat move-out is usually £170 to £255; a two-bed rental £255 to £340. The visit is sequenced around your check-out appointment so the property is empty before the clerk arrives, and everything not moving with you is assigned a destination in advance. No deposit; free cancellation up to 24 hours before. Cleaning is a separate trade and is not bundled in: that line is drawn plainly below.
Real totals for the move-outs tenants actually book, worked from the published card. Reading this as a landlord or agent instead? Your page is landlord removals.

|---|---|---|---|
| House-share room move-out to a new share nearby | Driver Help | 2 hours (minimum) | £140 |
| Studio move-out to a new flat, ground floor at both ends | 2 Men | 2 hours (minimum) | £170 |
| One-bed flat move-out, lift building at both ends | 2 Men | 2 to 3 hours | £170 to £255 |
| One-bed move-out with stairs at both ends and a full kitchen | 2 Men | 3 hours | £255 |
| Move-out into storage for a tenancy gap: everything to your unit | 2 Men | 2 to 3 hours | £170 to £255 |
| Split load: new place first, then a second drop at a family address | 2 Men | 3 hours | £255 |
| Two-bed rental move-out, family load with a cot and a desk | 2 Men | 3 to 4 hours | £255 to £340 |
| Three-bed rented house move-out, full family load | 3 Men | 4 to 5 hours | £400 to £500 |
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 move before you book. Included beside every price: loading, unloading and carrying at both ends, blankets, wrap and straps, dismantling and reassembly where booked, fuel and mileage within London, and rooms left empty and broom-swept. Add £5 per floor where the carry is by stairs (a third-floor flat with no lift adds £15 at that end). The storage row prices the transport only: the unit is rented by you, in your own name. Cleaning never appears in these totals, because cleaning is not part of the service: see the deposit section below.
An ordinary move has a date. An end of tenancy move has an appointment: a check-out clerk with an inventory, a landlord or agent holding the other set of keys, and a deposit riding on the state of the rooms at a fixed hour. The moving itself is the same work as any move. What changes is the sequence, and the fact that “almost out” reads exactly like “still in occupation” on a check-out report.
So this page starts from the appointment, not the van. Tell us the tenancy end date and the check-out time first, and the plan is built backwards: what time the crew starts, which load leaves last, when the split drops happen, and how much slack sits between the final load and the clerk’s knock. Where your tenancy allows it, moving the day before check-out is the calmer version of the same plan, and we will say so when it is available to you.
The second difference is destinations. Ordinary moves have one. Tenancy moves often have three (the new place, storage for a gap, a family address) plus a fourth that nobody enjoys thinking about: the things you are not keeping at all. All four are settled when you book, because the day itself has no slack for decisions.
This page is for the tenant’s side: moving your own things out against your check-out date. If you own the property, or manage it, and the job is turning it around for the next tenancy, your page is landlord removals. And if the tenancy has already ended and a departed tenant’s belongings still need moving, that instruction sits with the landlord or agent, on the landlord removals page above. Same card, same crew, same terms; different instruction, different responsibility.
Six situations cover most tenancy endings in London. Each is quoted from your check-out time and your destinations, not from a guess.
Usually 2 Men, 2 to 4 hours
Everything you own, out of the rental and into the new place in one planned visit, sequenced against the check-out appointment so the last load leaves with time to spare.
Two runs, each on the card
The old tenancy ends on the 28th and the new one starts on the 5th. Everything goes into a unit you rent in your own name, and a second run brings it out when the new keys are in your hand.
Usually 2 Men, 3 hours
Essentials to the new place, the rest to your parents’ home or into storage. Destinations labelled as you pack, one visit, and the van loaded in the order the drops need.
Usually Driver Help, 2 hours
One room’s worth: a bed, a desk, boxes and a bike, out of a shared house without disturbing the housemates who are staying. The smallest move-out there is, and the one most often left to the last day.
Priced from your list
A furnished let where most of the furniture stays: we move what is yours (your bed, your desk, your boxes) and the landlord’s pieces are left exactly where the inventory expects them.
Subject to the crew diary, confirmed in writing
A section notice, a relationship change, a landlord selling up: the end date arrived faster than the plan. Tell us the date first and we will tell you plainly whether the slot exists.
The check-out appointment is the fixed point everything else moves around. The clerk walks the property against the check-in inventory: room by room, item by item, photograph by photograph. A property that is empty and quiet at that hour makes for a short report. A property with a crew still carrying a sofa down the stairs makes for a long one, and the difference shows up later, in writing, attached to your deposit.
So the sequence is deliberate. Essentials and the first-night box travel last in an ordinary move; in a tenancy move, the order is set by the clock: the heaviest and slowest pieces move first, split drops happen in route order, and the final load is the one that can leave at short notice if the clerk arrives early. Your landlord or agent’s access window (the hours they allow for the handover, any lift booking the building requires) is built into the same plan when you book.
The last ten minutes have their own small list: a walk through every room with you, the emptied rooms photographed, meter readings taken by you while the rooms are empty, and the keys ready for the handover. None of it is dramatic. All of it is easier done in that order than argued about afterwards.
Nobody in a van can promise you your deposit back, and any firm that does is selling you a sentence, not a service. Deductions are proposed by your landlord or agent against the check-in inventory and, where you dispute them, settled through your deposit protection scheme. A removals crew has no seat at that table.
Here is the part that is genuinely ours. Deposit deductions cluster on three headings: cleaning, damage, and belongings left behind. The third is entirely a moving problem, and it is the one a good move-out eliminates completely: everything of yours out, nothing abandoned in cupboards, the loft or the shed, nothing left “for the next tenant” without the landlord’s agreement in writing. Our rooms are left empty and broom-swept, and the walk-through and photographs at the end are your record of it.
Cleaning, the largest heading on most deduction lists, is a separate trade and it is not ours. A professional end-of-tenancy clean is booked by you, normally for after the move-out, when the rooms are empty and the cleaners can work uninterrupted. Sequence it that way (move first, clean second, check-out last) and each trade gives the next one a clean run. We will happily plan our start time around your cleaner’s booking; we just will not pretend the clean is in our price.
We are a removals firm, not a licensed waste carrier, so we cannot take things away for disposal or recycling. What we do is the carrying, to the destinations agreed when you book:
The main load, placed in the right rooms and rebuilt where booked, so the first night works.
The part-load that is going home, to a partner’s place or to a friend’s garage, separated and labelled as its own drop.
Transport to a unit you rent in your own name for the gap between tenancies. Your contract, your access; we do the carrying in and out.
Council bulky collection or a registered carrier you appoint. That route is yours to book: we are not a licensed waste carrier. We can leave items bagged and ready at the kerb for the collection you have arranged.
On donating, one practical point: charities can only resell upholstered furniture (sofas, armchairs, padded chairs, mattresses) if the fire label is intact. No label usually means the piece belongs to the disposal route instead, so check before the day, not at the charity’s door. And on the disposal route itself: any waste carrier can be checked free on the Environment Agency public register before you appoint one, and the duty of care for items you hand to a carrier stays with you as the householder.
Packing help sits on the included side when it is booked: our packing services run on the same card, and materials are priced plainly (boxes £5 each, protective wrap £15, tape £10 per roll). What never appears on either list, in either direction, is a clean.
Four steps, planned backwards from the check-out appointment.
The tenancy end date and the check-out appointment time come before the inventory. Then both postcodes, what is moving, and where each part of the load is going.
The quote comes back in writing with the crew, the start time the sequence needs and the total. It is valid for 7 days, and booking takes no deposit.
The crew loads in destination order, split loads separated as agreed, and works so the property is empty ahead of the check-out appointment, not during it.
A final walk-through with you: every room empty and broom-swept, nothing of yours left behind, photographs taken. Payment is at the time of service.
Our side is the carrying. These are the tasks that stay yours, listed so none of them ambushes you in the final week:
| Point of comparison | The typical way | With Vano Removals |
|---|---|---|
| The date | You are fitted into a route, and the check-out appointment is your problem to sweat about | The plan is built backwards from your check-out time, with the last load gone before the clerk arrives |
| The price | A “from” price per room, with stairs, split drops and a storage leg surfacing later | A published hourly card, a 2-hour minimum stated with the price, and a worked total in writing before the day |
| The deposit | “Deposit-friendly” move-outs that quietly imply the clean and the outcome are covered | The honest split: everything out, rooms empty and broom-swept, nothing left behind. Cleaning is a separate trade and no deposit outcome is promised by anyone honest |
| Things you are not taking | Left in the property for the landlord to clear, and billed back to your deposit with a handling fee on top | Four destinations agreed in advance, including a disposal leg you book through your council or a registered carrier. We are not a licensed waste carrier, and we say so |
| Who carries | At the cheap end, you do: self-loading rates mean the customer carries and the driver drives | Our crew loads, unloads and carries at every tier, including Driver Help |
| Deposit and cancellation | A deposit to book is common, and cancellation windows vary widely at the budget end | No deposit to book; free cancellation up to 24 hours before |

Common questions from tenants moving out, 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 move-out is to send your check-out date and your destinations.
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 house-share room moving out starts at £140 with Driver Help. A one-bed flat move-out is usually £170 to £255 with 2 Men. A two-bed rental is usually £255 to £340. A rented three-bed house is usually £400 to £500 with 3 Men. Stairs add £5 per floor where the carry is by stairs. No deposit, and your written quote confirms the total before you book.
The day before is the calmer plan wherever your tenancy allows it: everything out, rooms empty, and nothing between you and the check-out appointment except the keys. If the move has to happen on the day itself, we start early and work to a sequence that has the last load gone well before the check-out clerk arrives, because a clerk recording a flat still full of furniture at the appointment hour is how avoidable deposit arguments begin. Tell us the check-out time when you book and the plan is built around it.
Our part is specific, and it is worth being exact about it: everything of yours out, in the right destinations, and the rooms left empty and broom-swept. Cleaning is not our service. A professional end-of-tenancy clean is a separate trade you book, and it is normally done after the move-out, once the rooms are empty. No removals firm can promise you a deposit outcome: deductions are decided by your landlord or agent against the check-in inventory, and cleaning and damage are separate headings from moving. What we remove from the equation is the most avoidable deduction of all: belongings left behind.
They are sorted into destinations when you book, and they never stay in the property: items coming with you, items to family or a second address, items to a storage unit you have rented, and items for disposal. On disposal, plainly: we are not a licensed waste carrier, so we cannot take things away for disposal or recycling. Anything for disposal goes through your council’s bulky item collection or a registered waste carrier you appoint, and we can leave items bagged and ready at the kerb for the collection you have booked. Leaving things behind for the landlord to deal with is the classic route to a deduction, so plan the disposal leg before the move, not after it.
Into a storage unit you rent in your own name, with us as the transport. The move-out run takes everything to the unit and stacks it properly; when your new tenancy starts, a second run on the same hourly card brings it out and into the new place. The unit’s rent, access and terms stay between you and the operator, and your things sit under your own contract with your own access. We do not hold belongings ourselves. The two runs are quoted separately and confirmed in writing, so the gap costs what the card says and no more.
Yes, and it is one of the most common end-of-tenancy patterns. One visit, one crew, destinations agreed in advance: label by destination as you pack (new place, storage, parents) and the van is loaded in the order the drops need. Two drops reasonably close together usually sit inside one booking on the hourly card; a long second leg is priced honestly in the written quote rather than discovered on the day.
Often, yes, and the honest answer is that it depends on the crew diary for your date, which is why the tenancy end date is the first thing to tell us. Short-notice move-outs are routine work; month-end dates are the busiest in the rental calendar and go first. We will tell you plainly whether the slot exists and confirm it in the written quote rather than promise it and fail on the week itself.
Yes, where it is booked: your beds, wardrobes, tables and flat-pack are taken apart so they travel safely, with fixings bagged and kept with the piece, and rebuilt in the right room at the new address. One boundary: we move your furniture. Items that belong to the landlord (the furnished let’s sofa, the provided bed) stay where they are, unless your tenancy agreement says they are yours to take.
Tell us the building’s rules when you book: lift bookings, loading windows, concierge or management company requirements, and any access window your landlord or agent has set for the handover. If the van has to stand on a residents’ bay or yellow lines beyond the loading allowance, a borough suspension or dispensation may be needed, and boroughs ask for 2 to 10 working days’ notice, so raise parking early. Any suspension fee or road charge that applies is confirmed in your written quote.
Your own protection, and it takes ten minutes: photograph every room once it is empty, the meter readings, and anything the check-in inventory flagged when you arrived. Those photographs are your record that the property was left empty and in the condition you left it. We can take a room-by-room photo record of the emptied rooms as part of the job where a record is useful; your check-out clerk’s report is the formal document, and your photos sit behind it if anything is later disputed.
Insurance is as stated in your written quote: ask us to confirm in writing.
