Removal companies near you, answered.
How much do local removal companies near me cost?+
Local removals in the UK typically start from around £250 for a small flat and rise with property size, distance and access. A 2-bed home usually lands between £450 and £750, a 3-bed between £750 and £1,400 and a 4-bed between £1,200 and £2,200. Apex quotes every job as one fixed written price covering crew, van, fuel, blankets and insurance — no hourly meter and no surcharges on the day.
How far in advance should I book a removal company?+
For weekday removals aim for 2 to 3 weeks' notice. For Fridays, month-ends and the summer peak (June to September) book 4 to 6 weeks ahead to lock in your first-choice date. Apex often has same-week availability for smaller local jobs — call 0330 8080 570 to check live slots.
Are my items insured during the removal?+
Yes. Every Apex booking includes £2 million public liability and £50,000 goods-in-transit cover as standard. Certificates can be issued in advance for freeholders, block managers or building concierge teams. High-value or specialist items can be uplifted to bespoke cover on request.
Do you offer packing as well as the removal?+
Yes. Full packing, fragile-only packing and unpack-at-destination services are all available. Our crews arrive with tested cartons, tissue, bubble and export-grade wrap, and everything is inventoried before it leaves the property.
