Prices

What a move in Middlesbrough costs

Our rates are the same in Middlesbrough 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.

  1. 1

    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.

  2. 2

    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.

  3. 3

    Published extras, where they apply

    Stairs without a lift, waiting time, dismantling, or an evening or Sunday move.

  4. 4

    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 Luton Box Van with two movers is £100 an hour. Loading and unloading takes about 3 hours and the drive between the two addresses about 15 min, so 3 hr 30 min is booked: £350. Six miles at £1.80 adds £10.80, which comes to about £360.80 before any stairs, dismantling or packing.

The same home, 200 miles out of Middlesbrough. The drive takes about 3 hr 15 min, so 6 hr 30 min is booked (£650), and 200 miles × £1.80 adds £360: about £1,010. A long-distance move is priced from the same rate card as a local one; it just has more miles on it.

Loading and unloading labour only, worked out the same way as our quote form. Driving time, mileage between your two addresses, stairs (£10 per person, per flight, per hour at that address), packing and dismantling are added in your written quote.

Other charges that can apply

  • Stairs

    £10 per person, per flight, per hour

    From the first floor up, for the hours at that address. A floor is 2 flights, so a first floor with a two-person crew adds £40 an hour there. A working lift that takes furniture removes the charge.

    Work out your stairs
  • Waiting time

    £40 per person, per hour

    For example if the keys are released late on completion day: £80 an hour for a two-person crew.

  • Timing

    +15% evenings

    +20% Sundays and bank holidays

    Your quote says which applies to your date before you book.

The minimum booking is 2 hours for the Small Transit (SWB) and Transit LWB, and 3 hours for the Luton Box Van, 5.5 Tonne Lorry and 7.5 Tonne Lorry.

To get an itemised quote, send us both addresses, the floor and lift situation at each, where the van can stop, and a rough list of what is moving. Your quote arrives in writing within 24 hours.

Travel

Do you pay for our journey to Middlesbrough?

No. Our nearest office is in Coventry, about 151 miles from Middlesbrough as the crow flies. That journey is not in your quote.

The hourly charge starts when the crew arrives at your first address, and the mileage covers only the road distance between the address you are leaving and the one you are moving to. That holds whether you are moving across Middlesbrough or to the other end of the country.

Removal services in Middlesbrough

Each service has its own page for this area, with the prices and details that apply to it.

Before moving day

Before moving day in Middlesbrough

Three things that decide how a move runs at any address. Tell us about them when you ask for a quote.

  1. 1

    Parking at both addresses

    Is there somewhere a van can legally stop close to the door? If a bay needs suspending, each council sets its own notice and fee, from a few working days to three weeks, so check yours before you fix the date.

  2. 2

    Floors, stairs and lifts

    Which floor, and does a lift take furniture? Stairs are charged by the flight from the first floor up, and a working lift removes the charge.

  3. 3

    The carry to the door

    A long walk from the van, a narrow gate or a tight stairwell changes the time a job takes. Tell us, and it is planned rather than found.

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.

Tap your floor on each building, or drag the marker beside it.

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.

From quote to moving day

How a move in Middlesbrough works

Five steps, one coordinator, and a plan agreed before the van arrives.

  1. 1

    Tell us about your move

    Use the quote form, call or WhatsApp. Add photos if it helps — the more we know, the more accurate the price.

  2. 2

    Get your written quote

    An itemised quote within 24 hours, built from our published rates: vehicle, crew, hours and extras, line by line.

  3. 3

    Your coordinator takes over

    Once you book, one named coordinator confirms the date, vehicle and crew, and stays your contact until the last box is in.

  4. 4

    Packed and loaded

    Floors and doorways protected, furniture dismantled and blanket-wrapped, and the van loaded in the order you want it unloaded.

  5. 5

    Unloaded and rebuilt

    Boxes go to the rooms you labelled, beds go back together, and the crew stays until you have walked the house.

“Exceptional service from start to finish. Moving house was made completely stress-free thanks to the punctual, hardworking and polite team at AFS Removals. Everything arrived safely with no damage at all.”
Oba FrankVerified Google review
“We could not recommend AFS Removals highly enough. Their professionalism, organisation, and attention to detail throughout the entire moving process were exceptional. Every member of the team was friendly, reliable, and committed.”
Simon NewburyVerified Google review
“We had originally booked a local firm for our move, but due to a last minute exchange and insane demand for movers, none were available. AFS had a 3-man crew available at short notice who were brilliant and hardworking.”

Questions

Moving in Middlesbrough: common questions

Do you cover all of Middlesbrough?
Yes. We cover all of Middlesbrough and the rest of North Yorkshire, and we move people to and from anywhere in the UK. A long-distance move is priced from the same rate card as a local one — it just has more miles on it.
How much does a move in Middlesbrough cost?
The same as everywhere we work — our rates do not change by postcode. For example, 2-bedroom home: £300 (Luton Box Van, 2 movers, about 3 hours loading and unloading). Loading and unloading labour only, worked out the same way as our quote form. Driving time, mileage between your two addresses, stairs (£10 per person, per flight, per hour at that address), packing and dismantling are added in your written quote. Your itemised written quote arrives within 24 hours.
How far is Middlesbrough from your nearest office?
About 151 miles from our Coventry office, as the crow flies. The time in your quote runs from the crew's arrival at your address, and the mileage is worked out from the road distance between your two addresses.
What is included in a house move?
Goods in Transit and Public Liability cover, our own employed crew, and a named move coordinator who handles your job from the quote to the last box. The crew protects floors and doorways before anything moves, blanket-wraps furniture, and unloads boxes into the rooms you have labelled them for. Packing, packing materials, furniture dismantling and specialist handling have their own published prices, so you only pay for what you need.
How far in advance should I book?
As soon as you have a likely date, even if completion is not confirmed. Fridays and month-ends go first, so an early conversation gives you more choice. If you are working to a short deadline, call anyway — we can often put a crew together within days. Phone lines are open seven days a week, 8:00am to 10:30pm.
Do I need to pack everything myself?
No. You can pack everything yourself, have us pack the whole property, or have us pack only the fragile items. Whichever you choose, we bring the boxes, tape and wrap with us and itemise them in your quote. If you are packing yourself, the single most useful thing you can do is label each box with the room it is going to at the new address rather than the room it came from — that is what makes room-by-room unloading work at the other end.
