Volume decides the van size and crew. Clearing out before the quote is the simplest saving.

Six things that move the price up or down
Access at both homes
Stairs, flats without lifts and long carries from the door to the van all add time.
Distance
Local moves are priced on time. Longer moves add driving time and fuel.
Date and day
Month-end dates and weekends are the busiest, so midweek and mid-month can cost less.
Packing and dismantling
Full packing typically adds about £250 to £500 plus materials for an average home.
Parking
A Surrey County Council bay suspension costs £90 for up to three days, then £15 a day.

Removal costs: common questions
What is the average removal cost in Woking?
Published guides do not give Woking-only prices, so we use the London and South East figures from a cost guide updated in September 2026: £400 to £950 for a studio or 1-bed, £650 to £1,600 for a 2-bed, £1,150 to £2,400 for a 3-bed and £1,950 to £3,500 or more for a 4-bed, for local moves.
Why do two quotes for the same move differ so much?
Firms estimate the volume differently, send different team sizes and include different things. Check each quote lists the same items, packing, dismantling and insurance before you compare prices.
Does packing cost extra?
Usually, yes. The same guide puts a full packing service for an average home at about £250 to £500, plus materials. Packing only the kitchen and fragile items costs less.
Do parking permits add to the cost?
They can. Surrey County Council charges £90 per bay for a parking suspension of up to three days, then £15 for each extra day, and asks for at least ten days notice.
How can I keep the cost down?
Clear out what you do not need before the quote, pack what you can yourself, move mid-month or midweek if your dates allow, and make sure the van can park close to both doors.
Is your quote fixed?
Your written quote is based on the details you give us. If the move changes, for example more items or a different date, we will tell you before the day if the price needs to change.
Do short-notice moves cost more?
They can. Fridays and the end of the month are the busiest times, and a short-notice date may need a crew and van moved from other work. Send the form with your date and your quote will confirm availability and the price.
Should I tip the removal crew?
Tipping is never expected and is entirely up to you. The price on your written quote is the full price for the job.
