Who sets move prices

There is no fixed tariff for move. The figure is set by the provider's own economics, covering labour, materials, travel and availability, so it varies by company and by season.

How to compare quotes for move

What moves the price of move

Labour, materials and timing explain most of the gap between two quotes for move. Access and preparation often matter as much as the headline task, so a job that needs extra setup or a second visit costs more even when the base price looks identical.

Frequently asked questions
