Soho Movers Removal Prices and Man and Van Costs
Soho Movers offers clear, easy-to-understand pricing for every type of move, from compact studios to busy office relocations. Our goal is to remove the guesswork from removal company prices and man and van costs, so you know exactly what you are paying for before moving day.
Our Transparent Pricing Model
We use a transparent pricing structure designed for city living and fast-paced schedules. Instead of one-size-fits-all quotes, we tailor each price to the size of your load, the access at each property, and any special items that require extra care.
For smaller jobs, our man and van cost is usually based on an hourly rate with a minimum booking period. For full home or office relocations, we typically use load-based or cubic-yard pricing, reflecting how much space your belongings take up in the van rather than just the time it takes.
Every quote clearly breaks down labour, travel time, loading and unloading, and any optional extras such as packing or furniture dismantling. There are no hidden charges for stairs, congestion, or timing; anything that may affect the cost is discussed and agreed with you in advance.
Load-Based and Cubic-Yard Removal Rates
To keep removal company prices fair and consistent, we calculate your move using either load-based pricing or cubic-yard estimates.
Load-based pricing is ideal when we can see or list all the items you are moving. We estimate what percentage of a standard removal van the load will take, then set a fixed price for that space. You only pay for the portion of the van you actually use, which is especially helpful when moving from compact flats or partial loads such as one or two rooms.
Cubic-yard pricing works well when you have a more complex or mixed move. We measure or estimate the total volume of your belongings, usually based on an inventory, photos, or a quick video survey. This is particularly useful for busy Soho apartments with fitted furniture, or for businesses with stock, equipment, and office furniture that need careful planning.
Both approaches allow us to give you a price that matches your real needs without rounding everything up to a full-van rate. Where appropriate, we combine cubic-yard calculations with fixed labour time to keep your quote both accurate and simple.
Man and Van Cost for Smaller Moves
Our man and van service is ideal for smaller, flexible moves, student relocations, and quick runs between storage units and city flats. Pricing is mainly hourly, with the rate depending on the number of movers and the size of the van.
Common man and van bookings include studio flats, single large items, or small moves between central areas. For example, moving a few pieces of furniture and several boxes from a compact studio near Soho Square to a similar space in a neighbouring district is typically completed in a short time window with one mover and one van. This keeps your man and van cost contained and predictable.
Because we know city traffic and loading bays can be unpredictable, we plan routes and loading times carefully to keep the job efficient. You will be given a clear starting rate, any minimum time, and how we round part-hours, so you remain in control of the budget throughout.
Example Removal Company Prices by Job Type
To help you understand how our pricing works in real situations, here are example job types based on common property styles and busy locations in and around Soho. These are descriptions, not set prices, but they show how we structure our quotes.
Example 1: Studio flat move within central London. A typical job might involve moving the contents of a studio apartment with a bed, small sofa, table, chairs, and around 15 to 20 boxes. With reasonable access via lift or one flight of stairs, this usually needs one van and one or two movers on a short-time man and van basis. The cost is kept low because the volume is modest and loading is straightforward.
Example 2: One-bedroom flat from a busy main road. Many Soho-style properties are located along narrow or congested streets where parking must be carefully timed. A one-bedroom move with larger furniture pieces, kitchen items, and around 25 to 30 boxes is often quoted using cubic-yard pricing, combined with a set number of labour hours. The quote reflects the likely time needed for carrying items from upper floors and managing van positioning without adding hidden congestion charges.
Example 3: Two-bedroom flat to or from a converted townhouse. When moving a two-bedroom flat in a classic townhouse layout, we consider the extra stairs and the heavier furniture that often comes with this kind of property. A two-mover team and a larger van are usually recommended. Load-based pricing ensures you only pay for the van space taken, while we factor in access, dismantling of beds or wardrobes, and reassembly at the new address.
Example 4: Small office or creative studio relocation. Soho is full of small offices, agencies, and creative studios. A typical relocation might include desks, chairs, filing cabinets, computer equipment, and archive boxes. We often use cubic-yard estimates in combination with scheduled time slots to keep disruption to a minimum. The quote can be split into packing, moving, and unpacking phases so you can see exactly how the cost is built up.
What Affects Your Removal Quote
Several factors influence the final price of your removal company service or man and van booking. These include the total volume of items, the number of movers required, the distance between addresses, and access conditions such as staircases, lifts, or loading restrictions.
Optional services like professional packing, unpacking, furniture dismantling and assembly, or the supply of packing materials will also affect the overall cost. We always outline these as separate line items so you can choose what you need and keep control of your budget.
Free Quotes and No-Obligation Surveys
Soho Movers operates a clear free quote policy. Every quote you receive is free, with no obligation to book. We are happy to provide multiple options so you can compare a simple man and van cost with a more complete removal company package that includes packing or storage.
For larger or more complex moves, we may recommend a quick survey, either in person or by video. This allows us to view your property, understand access and parking, and accurately gauge the volume of items. The survey is included in your free quote and is designed to remove surprises on moving day, not to pressure you into a booking.
Once you have agreed a quote, we confirm everything in writing so you know the exact services, times, and prices before we arrive. Our commitment to transparent pricing gives you confidence that your move will run smoothly, on time, and on budget.
