York covers a lot of ground, so we price a move from the job in front of us — the property, the access at both ends and the distance between them — not from the city name. The same published rate card applies wherever in York you are.

Whatever you are moving in York, the price is built the same way: an hourly rate for the vehicle and crew, mileage between your two addresses, and published prices for stairs, packing and dismantling.

With every move

Goods in Transit coverIncluded on every move, not sold as an add-on.
Public Liability coverIn place on every job, at home or at work.
Our own crewEvery mover is employed by AFS. We never pass your move to a subcontractor.
One named coordinatorYour single point of contact, from the quote to the last box.

We bring the materials. Boxes, tape, bubble wrap and wardrobe cartons arrive with the crew and are itemised in your quote, so there is nothing to buy or collect first.

Before moving day

Before moving day in York

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

Parking at both addresses
Is there somewhere a van can legally stop close to the door? If a bay needs suspending, the council will want notice — often a week or more.
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.
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.

Moving in York: common questions

Do you cover all of York?

Yes. We cover all of York 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 York 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 York from your nearest office?

About 107 miles from our Coventry office. 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.
