Any Idea of Potential Removal Cost

Hi, I'm thinking of moving the contents of my 3 bed house from Bucks to South Wales (Swansea area).
I'll probably hire a reputable local firm to do a professional removal and I'll do all the packing myself.
Anyone with any experience of relocating a similar distance (200 miles) and a similar sized house using a proper removals firm, able to give me an idea of the bill?
What have you paid for your professional removal?
I just need a rough idea for my budget.

We've done a few long distance moves (150-200 miles) and paid between £3500 and £4500 approx each time. Have used both small local removal companies and large, well known ones. No packing service.
Guess we have more 'stuff' than most people though, lol :rotfl:
