π’ Response: Based on our statistics, 90% of one-bedroom flat moves are completed within 3 hours. As your inventory includes heavy appliances such as a fridge and a washing machine, we recommend a Luton van equipped with a tail lift for safe and efficient loading. Since you and your son are willing to assist with loading, the total cost for this move will be up to Β£135. This price includes a Luton van with a driver, transportation of your goods for a distance of up to 10 miles, and up to 3 hours of total working time (including potential downtime).
π’ Response: Based on our extensive experience, in 90% of cases, moving a fully furnished 3 to 4-bedroom family home takes between 3 and 6 hours.

The estimated cost for this service is between Β£200 and Β£400. This price includes the large Luton van, two professional movers to handle all the heavy lifting, and between 3 and 6 hours of professional service.
