What is Movesmith? Movesmith is a removals booking platform where customers across the UK can submit move details and receive a fixed price, then book it straight away; a verified mover accepts the job, and if none does in time the customer pays nothing.
The hourly model turns Nottingham's ordinary frictions — city-centre access above shops, student staircases, permit parking — into your bill. Pricing the whole job first removes the gamble: floors, the walk from the van at both ends and mileage are confirmed inside one fixed figure before you book.
Whether it's one desk or a 1-bed's worth, the mechanics hold: fixed price first, then you book it straight away. A verified mover accepts the job, and if none does in time you pay nothing.
One booking flow for small loads and single items — bigger jobs move onto full removals pricing automatically.
One sofa, a fridge, a Facebook Marketplace or eBay collection — pickup at one address, drop at another.
A small flat's worth of boxes and furniture in one or two van loads, with one or two movers.
Just your room, priced on the items you own — not a whole-property rate.
IKEA, warehouse and storage-unit pickups delivered to your door at a fixed price.
Furniture, boxed belongings and bulky household items, planned around your access.
Household contents moved to a new address, customer-arranged storage or charity. Clearance is not currently offered.
Nottingham man-and-van jobs start from £105 fixed for a small load. Load size, access and the mapped journey set one exact fixed price.
These are our published starting prices for a local move, the same in Nottingham as anywhere else in the UK. Bigger loads move up the table, and your quote prices the van and team your load needs.
| Move size | Local moves from |
|---|---|
| Single item or man & van | £105 |
| Man and van (small load) | £105 |
| Studio flat | £198 |
| 1-bed flat | £201 |
| 2-bed flat | £421 |
| 3-bed house | £721 |
| 4-bed house | £1,073 |
Longer moves are priced by distance — your quote shows the exact fixed price before you book.
Prices include VAT and are for a typical home on a short local move, Monday to Thursday mid-month. Your price depends on your items, access and date. Your exact price is fixed before you book, and any toll or crossing charges on your route are shown as their own line — never added afterwards.
One quote flow, one fixed price, one verified operator matched to your job.
Item list or rough load size, both postcodes, floor level, lift and how far the van is from the door. The details that set the real price — not a per-hour guess.
One number before you book, with stairs and distance built in and any congestion or crossing charges shown as clear line items — never added on the day.
We match your job with a verified man-and-van operator who handles loading, transport and unloading, and completes sign-off.
Hockley and city-centre lets often mean a staircase behind a shopfront and nowhere to stop. Access and the walk from the van go into the price before the day, not onto it.
Lenton and Dunkirk turn over every summer, one room at a time — always priced on your items and access, never a whole-property rate.
West Bridgford to Mapperley, Beeston to Arnold — cross-town distance is already in the fixed figure, with mileage beyond 50 included miles priced at the published rate.
Seller's postcode plus yours equals a fixed collection price before you pay for the item — so the true cost of that Marketplace find is known up front.

Read on Google ↗Common questions on man-and-van pricing, what fits, and how Movesmith works.
From £105 fixed for a small load — the exact figure is calculated from your details and shown before you book, with nothing renegotiated at the door.
Yes, completely. It's built once from load, access and distance; the meter never runs and the day never adds charges if the job matches your details.
Movesmith checks identity, Goods in Transit and Public Liability documents, records the declared vehicle type, and requires a vehicle-compliance declaration. Your card is saved at booking. Once an operator is confirmed, we reserve the fixed price around 48 hours before your move, or immediately if it is within 48 hours. Normally we capture payment after your Sign-Off PIN or a documented completion review. For an expressly agreed multi-day booking, the payment agreement may require collection before work starts; that does not confirm completion or release the operator payout.
Student rooms, single items, Marketplace and store pickups, studio and 1-bed loads, and storage-unit runs. Anything bigger prices as a full removal in the same flow.
Customers anywhere in the UK can submit details and receive a fixed price. You can book that price straight away. The journey, the crew and the van are all in that one price.
If suitable capacity is not confirmed, the priority request does not become a booking and no card is saved or charged.
Submitting a priority request does not save or hold a card while suitable local or route-based operator capacity is checked. If capacity is confirmed and you proceed with booking, your card is saved. Once a verified operator is confirmed, we reserve the fixed price around 48 hours before your move — or immediately if your move is within 48 hours. Normally payment is captured after sign-off or documented completion review. An expressly agreed multi-day payment agreement may require collection before work starts; the booking shows this before you accept.
Tell us about pickup and delivery: choose where the van can park lawfully, then give the carry distance, floor, lift, stairs and any awkward access. A private driveway or unrestricted street selection is enough. For permit-controlled, paid or loading-bay parking, also give who is arranging it, whether it is confirmed, its operating window and the exact lawful position. Unknown access, unsupported restrictions or a carry outside the online pricing limits needs a tailored review before we offer a fixed price. Do not enter gate codes, passwords or access credentials in the booking.
If there is no lawful parking, furniture does not fit, access is unsafe, unplanned dismantling is needed or delivery cannot be completed, the operator pauses the affected work and sends Movesmith a structured report with evidence. The operator cannot invent a charge or take cash at the door. Movesmith reviews the facts and, if the job needs to change, sends you a fixed proposal. Extra work or payment happens only after you expressly approve it; if you reject it, there is no variation charge and Ops arranges the safe next step, rebooking or a fresh quote.
