What house removals in Sheffield costs
Our rates are the same in Sheffield as everywhere else we work, and they are never changed by postcode.
From a studio flat across town to a family home at the other end of the country — moved by our own crew, run by one named coordinator, and priced in writing before you book.

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 stairsWaiting 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 what the job involves. Your quote arrives in writing within 24 hours.
Travel
Do you pay for our journey to Sheffield?
No. Our nearest office is in Coventry, about 65 miles from Sheffield 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 Sheffield or to the other end of the country.

The service
House Removals with AFS
Most of what we do is this: getting a household from one address to another without the day falling apart. It runs on unglamorous things — the right size of vehicle, enough people on it, and someone whose job it is to answer the phone when the completion time slips.
Every move comes with Goods in Transit and Public Liability cover, a crew employed by AFS rather than a subcontractor, and one coordinator from the quote to the last box.
Before moving day
Before moving day in Sheffield
Three things that decide how a move runs at any address. Tell us about them when you ask for a quote.
- 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
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
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.
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.

How house removals in Sheffield works
Five steps, one coordinator, and a plan agreed before the van arrives.

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

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.”
Siobhan Harper-NunesVerified Google review“Thoughtful, professional & hard working. They did not stop! I had 3 offices to clear & 3 hours to do it in. I was having a meltdown and they were patient and accommodating. Job done. Happy move.”
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.”
