Removals in Essex
House moves across Chelmsford, Colchester, Southend and every Essex commuter town, with the fast A12, M11 and M25 access that makes most Essex deliveries the easiest in our network, and the local knowledge for the parts that are not.
Why most Essex moves are straightforward, and the ones that are not
New-build estates around Chelmsford, Brentwood and Basildon have driveways, wide roads and off-street parking, which makes them some of the easiest deliveries we do anywhere. Modern developments close to the M11 and A12 corridor are much the same.
Colchester, Britain’s oldest recorded town, has a genuinely narrow medieval core where a full-size lorry cannot always reach, and some rural pockets toward Dedham Vale and the Essex-Suffolk border share the same tight lanes and gateways as our rural France work. We ask for photos of the approach at survey rather than assuming every Essex address is easy.

How much does a house removal in Essex cost?
A house removal in Essex typically costs between £180 and £2,200 depending on the size of your home, and most moves complete within a single day. A man-and-van suits a small flat or single room; a dedicated vehicle and crew suits a full household.
| Move size | Volume | Typical cost | Door-to-door |
|---|---|---|---|
| Man and van / small load | 5-10 m³ | £180 - £400 | Same day |
| 1-bed flat | 15-20 m³ | £300 - £550 | Same or next day |
| 2-bed home | 25-30 m³ | £450 - £900 | 1 day |
| 3-bed home | 35-45 m³ | £700 - £1,400 | 1 day |
| 4-bed home or larger | 50-65 m³ | £1,100 - £2,200 | 1-2 days |
- Every figure includes the vehicle, the crew, fuel and mileage.
- Access affects the price: a parking suspension, a lift booking or a long carry are priced at survey, not added on the day.
- Longer-distance UK moves (over roughly 100 miles) sit toward the top of each range because the vehicle is on the road longer.
The table above is a guide. Your exact price comes from a free survey.
Two houses of the same size cost differently depending on where they sit in the county.
- Volume — of your belongings, measured at survey
- Access — including whether the address sits in a town centre or on a modern estate
- Packing — from full professional packing to fragile items only or none at all
- Dedicated van or man-and-van — which suits a smaller move
- Distance within the county — since a Southend to Colchester move is a different job to a local one
