How long will my removal take?

The moving time for each person, family, home, flat or office vary

Each move is unique, so moving times vary per move, which is why it is tricky to put a specific timescale on each move. There are many factors to take into consideration, for example the size of the property, size of the furniture or the distance from the house to the vans.

Keep in mind that these figures are general time frames that moving companies use in order to estimate the amount of manpower and time required for a move so that they can make reasonably accurate quotes. The time frame for your moving situation might be more or less than these general timelines, and may not include some tasks like packing up boxes or deep cleaning the old place.

Moving considerations

There are other factors involved in a move, however, that may speed up or slow down the process. Here are a few other moving considerations besides property size to keep in mind. The time of your move will be affected by factors such as:

• The number of boxes you have

• The amount of furniture you own and how big each piece is

• How much assembly/disassembly is required

• Moving truck accessibility (how far your movers have to walk in order to load and unload the truck)

• Weather conditions

• Any loose, unpacked items to move

• The number of fragile items you move (artwork, electronics, collections, etc.)

• The flights of stairs you’ll have to navigate, and/or your access to a moving elevator

• The size of your elevator

• The number of long hallways or walkways to travel over

• The number of people helping you move

• The distance between your old home and your new location — and traffic or weather conditions on roads in between

• How long you have to move

All of these factors come into play when you think about how to determine the time your move can take.

The bottom line: it’s best not to try to rush a move. Always plan for things to take a bit longer than you imagined they would.
