Prices
What removals & storage in Stafford costs
Our rates are the same in Stafford as everywhere else we work, and they are never changed by postcode.
When the new home is not ready, or the dates do not line up, we move your belongings into secure storage and bring them back out when you are ready.

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 Stafford?
No. Our nearest office is in Coventry, about 43 miles from Stafford 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 Stafford or to the other end of the country.

The service
Removals & Storage with AFS
We arrange secure storage near either address, so one company handles the move in, the storage and the move out. Tell us roughly how much is going into storage and for how long, and all three appear in one written quote.
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. The moves into and out of storage are priced from the same hourly rate card as any other move.
Before moving day
Before moving day in Stafford
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.

- 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.
