Where does your driver need to go?
How long do you need the driver at each end?
A rough guide to the total time for loading and unloading.
- Few items: 30 mins to 1 hour
- Studio flat: 1 to 1.5 hours
- 1-bed flat: 1.5 to 2.5 hours
- 2-bed house: 2.5 to 4 hours
Every move is different. Stairs, parking and big or awkward items all add time. If unsure, round up.
Extra loading and unloading time is charged by the hour.

3D van size calculator
See your move load in 3D
Not sure what size van you need for your move? Add the things you're taking and watch them load into our 3D van at real size. You'll see which van fits your belongings best, before booking in with one of our drivers.
Give it a try
This is a guide only, based on the items you add.
Don't see something? Add it with its size in cm.
Our 3D van size calculator is designed as a helpful tool. The recommended van is an estimate, and we can't guarantee exactly how your items will fit once loaded.
How van sizing works
Estimates only: real-world fit depends on packing skill and awkward shapes. For a long-distance move where a second trip isn't viable, size up. For a move round the corner, you've got more flexibility.
Stated capacity vs the volume you'll actually use
Each van is listed by its total internal volume (e.g. our Medium Van is 6 m³). In practice you rarely fill 100% of that. Boxes leave small gaps, sofas leave dead space around them, and items can't always stack perfectly. A realistic working ceiling is around 80% of stated capacity for a single trip.
The marker line on the bar
The dark vertical line on the progress bar sits at 80% of the van's stated capacity. It's the point at which we'd suggest the next size up. When the bar crosses the marker, the recommendation bumps to a bigger van.
Why a smaller van might still be an option
Each smaller van row shows how many trips it would take to move your load. Subsequent trips can pack a bit tighter because you can sort items by trip: boxes together, awkward items together, so packing is more efficient second time round. Useful if you're moving locally and don't mind multiple runs.
When we can't fit an item at all
If an individual item is physically too big for a given van (like a 4 m item that's too long for a 3.4 m van), we flag it and skip that van as an option. For very large or awkward loads we may suggest our removals service instead of standard man-and-van.
