Flat Removals in Birmingham

A flat move is rarely about the volume. A one-bed apartment fits in a Luton van, but between the van and your front door there is a loading bay that has to be booked, a lift that has to be reserved and measured, a concierge who needs the right paperwork, and perhaps four flights of stairs in a converted Victorian house with no lift at all. That is where flat moves go wrong, and it is what we plan for.

We move flats across Birmingham every week: the towers and canal-side developments around the city centre, the Jewellery Quarter and Digbeth, the converted villas of Edgbaston and Moseley, the station-side blocks in Solihull and Sutton Coldfield, and the maisonettes and low-rise estates in every suburb in between.

These are typical starting prices for a flat move within Birmingham. Your fixed quote depends on the volume, the floor, whether there is a lift, the distance to the loading point and where you are moving to. Everything is agreed in writing before the day, and the price includes blankets, straps, a trolley, dismantling and reassembly of standard furniture, and goods-in-transit insurance.

Purpose-built apartments and towers. The blocks around the city centre, Broad Street, the Mailbox, Eastside and the canals, plus the newer developments in Solihull, Sutton Coldfield and Harborne. These have service lifts and loading bays, and the job is about booking them and working inside the building's window.

Converted houses. The Victorian and Edwardian villas of Edgbaston, Moseley, Kings Heath and Erdington split into flats. No lift, tight stairs, bay windows that do not open, and permit parking outside. We send a smaller van so it can get close and a crew that is happy to carry.

Maisonettes and low-rise estate flats. Walk-ups in Castle Vale, Chelmsley Wood, Druids Heath and across the Black Country, often with a parking court some distance from the door. We measure the carry and price it in.

Student and graduate flats. One-trip moves around Selly Oak, Edgbaston and the Jewellery Quarter at the start and end of tenancies, where our man and van service is usually the right size.

Flat to house. The most common flat move of all: a couple leaving a two-bed apartment for their first house. We load the flat in the morning, and because a house has a drive and a front door, the afternoon is quick.

If you are leaving a tenancy, the timing is usually tied to a check-out inspection. We work to the inspection time, protect the floors and door frames so there is nothing to argue about on the inventory, and can take unwanted furniture to the tip or a charity on the same run. For a full clear and clean, see our end of tenancy removals.

If the new place is not ready on the day the tenancy ends, we can hold everything in secure storage for a few days or weeks and deliver when you have the keys, so you are not paying rent on two homes to bridge a gap.

We move flats throughout Birmingham, Solihull, Sutton Coldfield, the Black Country and Coventry, and anywhere in the UK from a Birmingham flat. The busiest areas for us are the city centre, the Jewellery Quarter, Edgbaston, Moseley, Selly Oak, Harborne, Solihull, Sutton Coldfield and Wolverhampton. See the full list on our areas page.
