Two bedroom flat or house in Cardiff
£260 to £430
Most jobs of this size settle around £330. Two bedrooms of furniture plus a living room and kitchen, usually a full van.
One trip or two
Most two bed moves fit one large van in a single run. What tips them into two is the stuff people forget to count: the loft, the shed, the garage and the bikes. If you tell us about them we price one job properly. If you do not, we either leave things behind or the day runs long, and neither is a good outcome.
When we think yours genuinely needs two runs or a second vehicle, we say so at the quote stage and show you the difference. It is not an upsell, it is the honest shape of the job.
Dismantling, reassembly and the awkward pieces
Two bed moves nearly always include something that has to come apart. Flat pack wardrobes that were built in the room, a bed frame that will not turn on the landing, a dining table with fixed legs. We can dismantle and rebuild at the other end, and it wants allowing for in the time rather than squeezing in.
Tell us the pieces you already know are a problem. The ones that cause trouble are almost always the ones nobody mentioned.
Completion days and key handovers
If you are buying rather than renting, the move hangs on a completion time nobody controls. We can load in the morning and hold the van until keys are released, which is far less stressful than trying to compress everything into the afternoon.
Fridays are the standard completion day and the busiest slot in Cardiff by a distance. If your date is fixed to a Friday, book it as far ahead as you can.

| Job | What it covers | Indicative price |
|---|---|---|
| Single item | One sofa, bed, fridge or wardrobe collected and delivered across the city. | £45 to £85 |
| A few items | Half a room of furniture, a marketplace haul or the bit that would not fit in the car. | £85 to £150 |
| Studio or bedsit | A single room of furniture and boxes, one van, one trip. | £130 to £220 |
| One bedroom flat | Bed, sofa, wardrobe, white goods and the boxes that come with them. | £180 to £300 |
| Two bedroom flat or house | Two bedrooms of furniture plus a living room and kitchen, usually a full van. | £260 to £430 |
| Three bedroom house | A family house, often a large van or two runs depending on the loft and garage. | £390 to £650 |
| Four bedroom house | A big load with a second crew member, and nearly always more than one trip. | £550 to £900 |
What the price includes
- The van, the fuel and the driver
- A driver who carries, loads and stacks rather than watching you do it
- Blankets, straps and trolley to protect what is being moved
- Loading and unloading at both ends, including stairs
- The parking sorted before the day rather than argued about on it
What moves the number
- Floor and lift access. A third floor walk up in Cathays takes longer than a ground floor flat in Rhiwbina, and time is what the price is made of.
- Where the van can stop. A bay outside is one price, a hundred metre carry from the nearest legal loading point in the city centre is another.
- How much there actually is. Lofts, garages and sheds are where quotes go wrong, so count them in when you tell us.
- Whether it needs two people. Wardrobes, sofa beds, American fridge freezers and pianos usually do.
- Dismantling and reassembly, if flat pack furniture has to come apart to get out of the room.
These are indicative ranges for planning, not quotes. The figure we give you is fixed before we start and does not change on the day. See all man and van prices in Cardiff.
