House Removals in Cornwall

2/3

of everything we clear is saved from landfill

Most of what we take away is reused, donated, or recycled rather than sent to a skip. A real figure from our own jobs.

Two men and a Luton van from £65 an hour plus VAT (£78 inc VAT). We are a Hayle based team who already handle homes every day as a house clearance company, and we now move them too, across Cornwall and all over the UK.

Prices

Most moves cost anywhere from around £60 for a small job to around £2,000 for a large house, depending on how much is moving, the distance and the access at both ends. Every move is quoted in writing before you book, with travel included and never added afterwards.

  • 2 men and a Luton van: £65/hr + VAT (£78 inc VAT)
  • Extra packer: £20/hr + VAT (£24 inc VAT)
  • Furniture blankets and straps: included

Boxes and packing materials, at cost price

We sell packing materials at cost price, so you are not paying a mark up:

  • Boxes: around £2.50 each. If you are local, you can use our boxes for free and we collect them again after your move.
  • Bubble wrap: £25 a roll, for ceramics, glass, pictures and anything breakable.
  • Tape: 9 rolls for £5, 18 rolls for £10, 36 rolls for £20.

You can collect materials from us before your move.

Self pack or let us pack: you choose

Self pack (the cheapest way to move)

You box everything up before moving day. We arrive, blanket wrap the furniture, load, drive and unload. Ideal if you have the time and want to keep the cost down, especially if you use our boxes for free.

Packing service

We send a packing team the day before your move, or first thing on the day. Extra packers cost far less than the moving crew, so you are not paying full removal rates for someone to wrap plates.

How our packing service saves you money

Packing takes the most hands, but the move itself only needs two. So we might send three people to pack, then just two to do the move. You only pay for the extra packer while packing is happening, not for the whole day.

Example: a 2 bed house packed by 3 people in 3 hours (£85/hr x 3 = £255 + VAT), then moved by 2 men in 4 hours (£65/hr x 4 = £260 + VAT). Total £515 + VAT (£618 inc VAT), plus any materials. This is an illustration only; every move is quoted individually.

How it works

  1. Get in touch. Call, WhatsApp or email with both addresses and roughly what is moving.
  2. Free quote. We visit or do a video walk round, then give you a written price.
  3. Packing. You self pack, or our team packs before the move.
  4. Moving day. We wrap, load, drive and unload, and put furniture in the rooms you want it.

Pianos, hot tubs and other heavy items

We move the awkward things too, including pianos and hot tubs. Tell us about them when you ask for a quote so we bring the right people and equipment.

Moving and clearing in one booking

Because we are a clearance company too, we can do both jobs at once. On a recent job in Perranarworthal near Truro we cleared the whole house, loft and garage, then blanket wrapped the furniture the family wanted to keep and delivered it to their new address in Devon. One team, one booking, one price.

That makes us a good fit for:

  • Downsizing, when not everything fits in the new home (see downsizing clearance)
  • Moving a parent into care or sheltered housing
  • Probate, when some items go to family and the rest is cleared (see probate clearance)
  • End of tenancy moves, when the old property must be left empty and clean (see end of tenancy clearance)

Areas we cover

We are based in Hayle and move homes all over Cornwall, including Truro, Camborne, Redruth, Helston, Falmouth, St Ives, Penzance, Newquay and Bodmin. We also move homes anywhere in the UK, and deliver single items long distance too. Ask us about your move, wherever it is going.

House removals: your questions answered

How much do house removals cost in Cornwall?

Most moves cost anywhere from around £60 for a small job to around £2,000 for a large house, depending on how much is moving, the distance and the access. Our rate is £65 an hour plus VAT (£78 inc VAT) for two men and a Luton van, and every move is quoted in writing before you book.

How far in advance should I book my removal?

You can book at any time, and we will always try to fit you in. The earlier you book, the more choice of dates you have, especially around month ends and in the summer. Once you have a completion date, call us and we will hold it.

What is the cheapest way to move house?

Self pack. You box everything up before moving day and we do the heavy lifting, wrapping, loading and unloading. If you are local, you can use our boxes for free and we collect them afterwards. If you need help packing, extra packers cost £20 an hour plus VAT.

Do you provide boxes and packing materials?

Yes, at cost price. Boxes are around £2.50 each, or free to use if you are local and we collect them again after your move. Bubble wrap for breakables is £25 a roll, and tape is £5 for 9 rolls, £10 for 18 or £20 for 36. Furniture blankets and straps are included on every move.

Will you put furniture in the right rooms?

Yes. Tell us where things go, or label your boxes by room, and we place furniture and boxes in the rooms you want them.

Do you move pianos and hot tubs?

Yes. We move heavy and awkward items including pianos and hot tubs. Tell us about them when you ask for a quote so we bring the right people and equipment.

Do you move single items?

Yes, locally and long distance. We move single items such as a sofa, wardrobe or piano, and we deliver single items all over the UK.

What won't you move?

We cannot carry gas bottles such as propane or butane. Please empty and defrost your fridge and freezer the day before, and keep valuables, medication and important documents with you on the day.

Do you move outside Cornwall?

Yes. We are based in Hayle and move homes all over Cornwall and anywhere in the UK, as well as delivering single items long distance. Ask us for a quote, wherever you are moving to.

Can you take away the things we are not keeping?

Yes, that is our day job. As a house clearance company we can clear unwanted items in the same booking, with most of it reused, donated or recycled, and anything with resale value taken off your price.
