Monday–Friday, 8am–5pm, UK time · price on screen before you book
One fixed price, on screen before you book.
Your quote reflects the complete move. The mapped route, confirmed crew, vehicle plan, handling and planned return are calculated into one complete fixed price. Route charges such as crossings are included where applicable. Supported moves price online; unusual routes, access or handling need a tailored review before we offer a fixed quote.
Tell us what's moving and disclose parking and access at both ends. Your fixed price stays the same while the inventory, route and access match what you confirmed. Any material change uses Movesmith's evidence-and-approval process, never a doorstep charge.
What's included.
- A verified operator with Goods in Transit and Public Liability insurance
- Loading, driving and unloading — no separate mileage or travel charge
- Blankets and protection for furniture in transit
- One fixed price agreed before you book, not an hourly estimate
- Normally the fixed price is authorised around 48 hours before the move, or immediately for near-term moves, and captured after sign-off or documented completion review. An expressly agreed multi-day payment agreement may require collection before work starts.
Packing, dismantling and other extras are optional and priced separately — see the full price list.
London to Bristol — your questions
How long does a move from London to Bristol take?
It depends on the size of your home, access at both ends and traffic on the day. Most long-distance moves are a single day: loading in the morning, driving, then unloading on arrival. Your arrival window is agreed when your crew is confirmed, so you know the plan before moving day.
Will my move need an overnight stop?
Collected goods are delivered to the booked destination on the same day; the crew does not keep them overnight. If the complete move needs more than one working day, the confirmed plan uses separately identified daily batches. Goods awaiting collection stay with you between those days, and the full itinerary and price are agreed before booking.
What size van or lorry will you send?
That's matched to the inventory you give when booking. A studio or one-bed usually needs a Luton; larger homes need a bigger vehicle or more than one trip. Telling us about everything that's moving is what keeps the price fixed.
Do you cover moves from Bristol to London as well?
Yes — the route works in both directions and is priced the same way. Enter it either way round to see the fixed price; booking proceeds after suitable local or route-based operator capacity is confirmed.
How is a long-distance move quoted?
From one published rule: the mapped outward and return journey, confirmed crew, vehicle and handling plan are calculated together. Your exact fixed price is shown after you enter the details; booking proceeds after suitable local or route-based operator capacity is confirmed.
What parking and access details do I need to provide?
Tell us separately 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 by itself. 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 or unsupported access is reviewed before we offer a fixed price, and a carry of 50 metres or more needs a tailored review. Do not enter gate codes, passwords or access credentials in the booking.
What happens if parking or access is different on moving day?
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.
