Prices
What a move in Gerrards Cross costs
Our rates are the same in Gerrards Cross as everywhere else we work, and they are never changed by postcode.
A quote is built from up to four parts, and each one is its own line in your written quote. Nothing else is added.
An hourly rate for the vehicle and crew
From £75 an hour for a small van and two movers. Driving time between your two addresses is charged at the same rate.
A per-mile charge
For the road distance between the address you are leaving and the one you are moving to, at the rate for your vehicle.
Published extras, where they apply
Stairs without a lift, waiting time, dismantling, or an evening or Sunday move.
Packing, if you want it
A whole-home package or just the breakables. Leave it out and you pack yourself.
Two worked examples
A 2-bedroom home, a local move of about 6 miles. A 5.5 Tonne Lorry with two movers is £160 an hour. Loading and unloading takes about 6 hours and the drive between the two addresses about 15 min, so 6 hr 30 min is booked: £1,040. Six miles at £2 adds £12, which comes to about £1,052 before any stairs, dismantling or packing.
The same home, 200 miles out of Gerrards Cross. The drive takes about 3 hr 15 min, so 9 hr 30 min is booked (£1,520), and 200 miles × £2 adds £400: about £1,920. A long-distance move is priced from the same rate card as a local one; it just has more miles on it.

Council rules
What the council says about moving day in Gerrards Cross
Published by the authorities themselves, with a link to each. Rules and fees change, so check the source before you rely on them.
Reserving space outside the property: Buckinghamshire Council
Buckinghamshire Council asks for applications at least 28 days before a parking suspension or dispensation is needed. Its listed charges are £17.60 per space per day for the first 7 days, £19.80 per space per day for days 8 to 14 and £22 per space per day from day 15, plus £6.60 per space per day where a pay and display space is taken out of use. On-street spaces are charged per standard space of up to 6 metres.
Buckinghamshire Council: How to apply for a parking suspension or dispensationWhat a suspension needs in Buckinghamshire
Furniture removals are listed as a valid reason for a parking suspension, and general parking needs are not accepted. You upload proof of address, proof of the vehicle such as a registration document or hire agreement, and a map screenshot or image identifying the space. The space must be one where parking is legal, and residents parking spaces can be suspended for no longer than 7 days in a row unless other parking is provided for residents.
Buckinghamshire Council: Get a parking suspension to book a parking space for a limited timeParking dispensations in Buckinghamshire
A dispensation lets a vehicle park temporarily where restrictions apply, and furniture removals are among the accepted reasons. It cannot be used where loading restrictions are in place, within 50 metres of a traffic-light junction, or on disabled bays, doctors' spaces, taxi ranks, bus stops, zebra crossing approaches or footpaths. You need the vehicle registration number to apply. The dispensation page does not state its own price, so confirm the cost when applying.

Stairs and lifts
Floors, lifts and the carry from the van
Tell us which floor each address is on and whether a lift takes furniture. Stairs are charged by the flight from the first floor up, and a working lift removes the charge. A long walk from the van, a narrow gate or a tight stairwell also changes the time a job takes.
| Floor | Flights | Crew of 2, per hour |
|---|---|---|
| Ground floor | None | Free |
| First floor | 2 | £40 |
| Second floor | 4 | £80 |
| Third floor | 6 | £120 |
| Fourth floor | 8 | £160 |
£10 per person, per flight, per hour spent at that address, driver included. A crew of 2 spending one hour loading on a third floor (6 flights) adds £120. With a working lift that takes the furniture, the line is £0.

Stair charge
None
Ground floor, or a working lift, at both addresses.
£10 per person, per flight, per hour at each address; a floor is 2 flights. This is the stair charge only — the hourly rate for the vehicle and crew, and the per-mile charge, are separate. Your written quote confirms the hours.

Extra help
Deciding how much help you need
Most moves need only a vehicle and a crew sized to the home. These are the situations where adding help usually saves time or reduces risk.
An extra mover
Worth it when there are stairs at both ends, a long carry from where the van can stop, or a tight window between collecting your keys and handing over your old ones.
For a Luton Box Van, a third mover takes the hourly rate from £100 to £130.
Packing
Worth it when you have less than a week, a lot of glass, china or artwork, or little time around work.
Packing packages include the materials: £400 for a 1-bedroom home, £600 for 2 bedrooms and £1,000 for 3. If you only want the breakables done, fragile-only packing covers glass, china, artwork and mirrors.
Dismantling and reassembly
Worth it when a bed, wardrobe or table will not pass through a stairwell or doorway in one piece.
A single or double bed is £50 to dismantle, or £90 to dismantle and rebuild; a standard two-door wardrobe is £60, or £110 with reassembly. Every dismantling booking has a £90 minimum.
Pianos, antiques and artwork
Worth it when an item is heavy, valuable or awkward enough to need extra wrapping and handling.
Priced for the item, after we know what it is and where it has to go.
Storage
Worth it when your new home is not ready on moving day, the dates do not line up, or you are downsizing and need somewhere for what does not fit yet.
We arrange secure storage near either address. Storage for a 1-bedroom flat's contents is £250 to £350 a month, VAT included, with the first month paid upfront; larger homes are priced on volume in your quote. Moving into and out of storage is priced like any other move.
