Are you moving 500 yards  or 75 miles?

Whatever it is, go for the packing service. It is money extremely well spent.

All going to depend if you are going for one man & a van or Pickfords...

Best options as prices vary so much depending on just what level of services you want.
Ring round as many as you can & get quotes.

Agree, you're going to need to ask for quotes for your specific circumstances. I'm moving 90 miles, 1 man LWB 3.5 tonne van, one trip, £400. I'm hoping timing will work to do it in a £60-70 +diesel hire van with friends. But that would move all of the two person items.

no one on here can give you a better ballpark figure than you simply phoning the first google for your location result and asking them for a quote. Then you have the real basis on which to compare others  

I'll bet different prices apply for north, south, mid, and west Wales even if the move is only 5 miles

I agree that the prices can differ. Look for the local companies and make a call to know for sure.

I thought it wasn't the best idea until we tried this service. Yes, we had to pay for it, but it saved us much time and effort.

It'll depend wildly on what you are moving. If bringing beds, wardrobes, white goods etc it'll all add up pretty quickly.

You'd be best figuring out what you actually want to take with you and get a reputable company to come in and give you an estimate.

You’re best to speak to a few local removal firms.  Ask on social media for recommendations, check reviews.  They will come over or use virtual to survey your house and give you a price.  We have just moved and ours was local, but access was tricky, so increased the cost as our move was spread over 2 days as they could on,y use a small van.  All the removal firms were lovely, not phased by anything.  You can also check they provide extra packing materials at no extra cost, mattress protectors and put down floor protection.
