Flat Removals
Flats, apartments, studios, and student moves
Moving a flat, apartment or studio means planning the route from your front door to the van. Shared stairs, lift size, tight hallways, loading bays and the floor at each address can matter as much as the number of bedrooms. We quote for the furniture and boxes you are taking, with crew and vehicle requirements based on the full load and access.

Choose flat removals for a studio, apartment, tenement flat or shared home. A one-bedroom move can still involve a full furniture load; include what you own rather than relying only on the property size.
Photograph tight turns
Show narrow closes, half-landings and doorways beside large furniture. Measure the item and the tightest parts of its route before the move is agreed.
Keep shared spaces clear
Pack within the flat and leave communal doors and stairs usable. Label furniture and boxes with the destination room, especially when housemates have separate loads.
Vehicle and crew
Crew needs depend on the load and the stairs or lift at both buildings. A lift that carries people may not fit a sofa or wardrobe. Provide lift dimensions and weight limits where available, and tell us if the loading entrance differs from the main entrance.
How your quote is worked out
The hourly guide price is not the total cost of moving a flat. Floors, walking distance, vehicle access, waiting for a lift and the size of the load can change the work required. Ask for the charging basis and any minimum time before confirming.
What is not included as standard
- Booking a building lift, loading bay or council parking space on your behalf unless agreed.
- Hoisting furniture through windows or balconies without a separate specialist assessment.
- Packing or furniture dismantling unless included in the quote.

Flat Removals — Common Questions
Do you move flats with stairs and no lift?
Yes. Tell us the floor number, stair width, and any parking limits before booking so we can recommend the right crew and time allowance.
Is a studio move cheaper than a house removal?
A smaller load can require less van space and crew time, but stairs, parking and travel still affect the cost. A lightly furnished studio and a fully furnished upper-floor flat can need very different quotes.
Can you handle student moves?
Yes. Include the halls or flat address, your floor, the furniture and boxes, and any check-in or check-out slot. If several housemates are moving, list each collection and destination before requesting a quote.
