Landlord removals with us cost from £140: a small turnover job on the 2-hour minimum, on a published card of Driver Help £70 per hour, 2 Men £85 and 3 Men £100. A furnished flat reset is usually £170 to £255; clearing a one-bed flat between tenancies is usually £255 to £340 of crew time; a two-bed house turnover £340 to £425. Every job runs from your written item list, the quote is per property, and there is no deposit. Cleaning and disposal are separate trades, stated plainly below rather than bundled into the price.
Crew time for the turnover jobs landlords actually book, worked from the published card. If you are the tenant moving out instead, your page is end of tenancy removals.
| Turnover job | Crew | Typical time | Typical total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Furnished studio reset: old sofa and bed out to storage, replacements in | 2 Men | 2 hours (minimum) | £170 |
| Items a tenant left behind: one room cleared to your named destinations | 2 Men | 2 hours (minimum) | £170 |
| One-bed flat: your furniture out to a storage unit in your name | 2 Men | 2 to 3 hours | £170 to £255 |
| One-bed flat cleared between tenancies, items split by destination | 2 Men | 3 to 4 hours | £255 to £340 |
| Furniture back in from storage and placed for the new let | 2 Men | 2 to 3 hours | £170 to £255 |
| Two-bed house turnover: furniture out, replacements in, two addresses | 2 Men | 4 to 5 hours | £340 to £425 |
| Three-bed house: full furniture clearance between tenancies | 3 Men | 4 to 5 hours | £400 to £500 |
| A portfolio day: two small properties on one route | 2 Men | Quoted per property | Per property |
Illustrations, worked from our published hourly card (Driver Help £70, 2 Men £85, 3 Men £100 per hour, 2-hour minimum), checked October 2026. The totals are crew time: loading, unloading and carrying at the property, blankets, wrap and straps, dismantling and reassembly where booked, and fuel and mileage within London. They do not include disposal, which is never ours to sell: items for disposal go through your council’s bulky collection or a registered carrier you appoint, at their charge. A storage unit is your own contract with the operator. Add £5 per floor where the carry is by stairs, stated in the written quote for the property.
A landlord move rarely fails on the lifting. It fails on the gap: the old tenant’s check-out runs late, the keys are with an agent across town, the decorator is booked for the day the furniture was supposed to leave, and the new tenant’s check-in is already in the diary. The furniture work itself is straightforward. The dates, the keys, the access windows and the decisions about what stays and what goes are the job, and this page is built around them.
That is why everything here runs from a written item list with a destination for each item, agreed before the crew arrives. It protects the timetable, but it protects something else as well: nobody carries away a piece that was meant to stay, and nobody touches a former tenant’s belongings on the strength of a phone call. The list is the instruction, and the crew works to the list.
The decisions themselves are yours, and some of them are legal ones. What a landlord may do with belongings a tenant has left behind, what counts as a fair chance to collect them, and when disposal is safe: those are questions for you, your agent or your solicitor, and the section below sets out the position we work to, plainly and without dressing it up as advice.
This page is for the owner’s side of the tenancy: the landlord or agent turning a property around. If you are the tenant moving your own things out against a check-out date, your page is end of tenancy removals. If a tenant has already left, the belongings they left behind are dealt with on your written list, further down this page: moved to another property or into storage, as you instruct. Anything you want disposed of goes through the council’s bulky collection or a registered waste carrier you appoint, because we are not a licensed waste carrier. The card, the crew and the terms are the same throughout; the instruction and the responsibility differ, and that is the boundary that matters.
Six situations cover most landlord work in London. Each is quoted per property, from your dates and your item list.
Usually 2 Men, 3 to 4 hours
The old tenancy ends Friday, the new one starts Monday, and the furniture has to change in between. We work from your item list against the check-in date, so the property is empty, reset and ready for the inventory clerk.
Usually 2 Men, 2 to 3 hours
The worn suite out, the replacement in, the spare bed to another flat you own. Furnished lets live on their furniture, and a reset is a carrying job: out, in, placed, and the old pieces carried to the destination you name.
Priced from your written list
The wardrobe, the boxes in the spare room, the bike in the hall. Once you have covered your own position with the former tenant and decided each item’s destination, we clear them on your written instruction, room by room.
Usually 2 Men, 2 to 3 hours per run
A refurbishment gap, a sale that fell through, a property coming off the market for a season. Your furniture goes into a unit you rent in your own name, stacked properly, and comes back out when the property needs it again.
Quoted per property
Emptying a property so it can be photographed, valued and sold: the furniture out to family, storage or your next rental, the rooms left empty and broom-swept for the agent’s board to go up.
One named contact, per-property quotes
Your agent holds the keys and the dates; we hold the item list and the van. Written instruction from the agent, one named contact at our end, and a per-property written quote your records can file.
Every clearance element of this service starts with your instruction in writing: which items, and where each one is going. There are no exceptions for speed, and a short gap between tenancies is not a reason to skip it. The written instruction protects everyone: you, because the record shows what you authorised; the former tenant, because nothing of theirs moves without a decision behind it; and us, because the crew never has to guess.
The part that matters most is belongings a tenant has left behind. Those items remain the tenant’s property after they have moved out. Under the Torts (Interference with Goods) Act 1977, a landlord who wants to dispose of them is expected to take reasonable steps first: tell the former tenant what has been left, where it is, and give them a fair opportunity to collect it. Until that has been done, the safe instruction is to move the items to storage or to another address you control, not to a disposal route. This page states the position as a plain signpost, not as legal advice: your letting agent or solicitor can confirm how it applies to your tenancy.
Once your position is settled, the instruction is simple to give: an item list with a destination for each item. The crew then works to it exactly. Anything that surfaces on the day that is not on the list (a locked cupboard, a loft nobody mentioned) is photographed, reported to your named contact, and left untouched until you say otherwise.
We are a removals firm, not a licensed waste carrier, so we cannot take items away for disposal or recycling. What we do is the carrying, to the destinations your written instruction names:
Pieces carried to another property you own, to the next let, or back into this one after works. Your furniture stays your furniture, just at a different address.
Transport to a unit you rent in your own name, stacked so it comes out in the order the next property needs it. The unit contract stays between you and the operator.
Delivery to a charity you name, if it accepts the pieces. Upholstered furniture needs its fire label intact for a charity to resell it, so check the label when the list is made.
Council bulky collection or a registered carrier you appoint. That route is yours to book: we are not a licensed waste carrier, so the disposal itself is never in our van. We can leave items bagged and ready at the kerb for the collection you have arranged.
On the disposal route: any waste carrier can be checked free on the Environment Agency public register before you appoint one, and the householder duty of care for items passed to a carrier sits with the person arranging the disposal, which on this service is you as landlord. Emptying a whole property rather than turning one around? The same rule applies: everything goes to a destination on your written list, and disposal follows the route above.
The broom-swept point, once more because it is the one that gets assumed: cleared rooms are left empty and swept, ready for the next trade. They are not cleaned by us, and a turnover quote from anyone that quietly bundles a clean is worth reading twice.
Four steps, planned backwards from your check-in date.
The address, the check-out and check-in dates, key arrangements, and the item list with a destination for each item: kept, stored, donated or for the disposal route you have booked.
The quote comes back in writing with the crew, the working window and the total for that property. It is valid for 7 days, and booking takes no deposit.
The crew works room by room from your written instruction. Items travel to their named destinations in the order that empties the property fastest, and anything not on the list is left exactly where it was.
Rooms empty and broom-swept, kept items at their destinations, keys returned as agreed. Payment is at the time of service, and the photo record is yours for the file.
Most of our landlord work repeats, and it runs on routine rather than arrangements. The same named contact at our end. The same written quote per property, on the same published card, with the worked total in it before you book. The same written-instruction discipline at every address, however routine the job has become.
What we will not do is invent the furniture of an account we have not agreed: no portfolio discounts that appear from nowhere, no contract, no credit account, no retainer. If the volume of your work ever justifies a standing arrangement, that is a conversation in writing, not a line on a web page. Until then, every property stands on its own quote, and your records stay simple.
| Point of comparison | The typical way | With Vano Removals |
|---|---|---|
| The instruction | A phone call and a wave at the rooms: whatever the crew decides on the day goes in the van | A written item list with a destination per item, agreed before the crew arrives. Items not on the list are not touched |
| The price | A day rate or a per-property lump sum, with disposal and storage surfacing as extras later | A published hourly card and a worked total per property in writing; disposal and storage are named as your own arrangements, never bundled silently |
| A tenant’s left belongings | Cleared on request, with the legal risk left sitting where it fell | Cleared only on your written instruction, once you have covered your position with the former tenant. The signpost is printed on this page, not whispered |
| Disposal | Bundled into the van and the price, with nothing said about where it ends up or who is licensed to carry it | Four honest destinations, and disposal through your council or a registered carrier you appoint. We are not a licensed waste carrier, and we say so |
| The record | The property is empty and that is the whole of the evidence | A room-by-room photo record before and after where a record is useful, kept with the per-property quote |
| Deposit and cancellation | A deposit to book is common, and cancellation terms vary widely | No deposit to book; free cancellation up to 24 hours before |

Published rates, a written quote per property, and no deposit. The fastest way to price a turnover is to send the dates and the item list.
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 furnished flat reset, the old suite out and replacements in, is usually £170 for the minimum with 2 Men. Clearing a one-bed flat between tenancies is usually £255 to £340 of crew time. A two-bed house turnover is usually £340 to £425. Those totals are crew time: any disposal route and any storage unit are your own separate arrangements, and your written quote confirms the crew total for the property before you book. No deposit.
Furniture and household items on your written list: the furniture of a furnished let being refreshed, appliances being swapped, items you want kept and moved to another property or into storage, and items a tenancy has left behind that you instruct us to deal with. We work room by room from the list you give us, and items that are not on it are not touched. If a property needs emptying completely after a tenant has left, the same written-list rule covers everything you want moved; anything you want disposed of goes through the council bulky collection or a registered waste carrier you appoint, because we are not a licensed waste carrier.
Not on a verbal say-so, and not before you have covered your own position. Belongings a tenant leaves behind remain their property, and under the Torts (Interference with Goods) Act 1977 the landlord is expected to take reasonable steps to tell the former tenant what has been left and give them a fair chance to collect it before anything is disposed of. That duty sits with you as landlord, not with a removals crew. Once you have done that and decided the destination for each item, give us the instruction in writing with an item list, and we will carry the items to the destinations you name. The written instruction protects you, the tenant and us. This is a plain signpost, not legal advice: your letting agent or solicitor can confirm your position on any specific case.
No. We are not a licensed waste carrier, so we cannot take items away for disposal or recycling. Anything for disposal goes through your council’s bulky item collection or a registered waste carrier you appoint, and the duty of care for the items stays with you as the person arranging the disposal. What we do is the carrying: to another property, to a storage unit in your name, to a charity you name, or bagged and ready at the kerb for the collection you have booked. Waste carrier registration can be checked free on the Environment Agency public register before you appoint anyone.
Yes, to a charity you name, provided it has agreed to accept the pieces. Tell us the charity and its receiving hours when you book and the run is planned around them. One practical point: charities can only resell upholstered furniture (sofas, armchairs, padded chairs, mattresses) if the fire label is intact. Check the label before the run is planned: a piece without one usually belongs to the disposal route instead.
Yes, as transport. You rent the unit in your own name with the operator you choose; we collect the furniture, load and stack it in the unit, and bring it out again when the next let or the next property needs it. Each run is charged on the hourly card, and the unit’s rent, access and terms stay between you and the operator. We do not hold furniture ourselves.
No. Cleaning is a separate trade and it is not part of this service. Our crew leaves the rooms we have cleared empty and broom-swept, ready for your cleaners, decorators or the next stage. Most landlords book a professional clean after the furniture work and before the check-in inventory, and we plan our visit so that sequence works.
Yes. We regularly work from an agent’s written instruction where the agent manages the property. We need the instruction in writing, the item list, key arrangements and the destinations, whoever sends it. One named contact at your end and one at ours keeps a short-gap turnover simple, and the written quote is issued per property so your records stay clean.
Simply: the same routine every time, with no account to open and no contract to sign. Send the property details and the item list, and the quote comes back in writing on the same published card, property by property. You will usually deal with the same named contact. There are no invented portfolio discounts: the rate is the published hourly card for every property, and the worked total for each job is in the quote before you book.
Tell us the check-out and check-in dates first and the whole plan is built backwards from them. Same-week turnovers are routine work; same-day is sometimes possible where the item list is short and a crew is free, and we will tell you plainly whether the slot exists rather than promise it and fail. The quote confirms the date and the working window in writing before you book.
Insurance is as stated in your written quote: ask us to confirm in writing.
Send the property address, the check-out and check-in dates, and the item list with the destination for each item. The quote comes back in writing and is valid for 7 days. There is no deposit to book. Changing your date is free up to 24 hours before the work; inside 24 hours, a cancellation charge of up to 25 percent of the quoted price applies. Payment is at the time of service.
