Flats are their own kind of move: entry fobs, permit parking, communal stairs and a sofa that came in before the bannister did. Crews that move flats every day handle the geometry, and you pay only for the hours used.
TowManVan flat removals run by the hour: studios about £70, 1-bed flats £70-£105, 2-bed flats £135-£180 on a medium van. There are no stairs fees or weekend surcharges - stairs just take time at the same rate. The driver helps load and unload, goods-in-transit insurance is included, and the app estimates your total before you book. Launching in 19 UK cities on 1st July 2026.
Boxed and by the door is the cheapest flat move there is. The app tells you which van fits your floorplan.
Fixed upfront prices. No membership fees. Live operator tracking across every postcode in UK.
A boxed studio loads in 30-40 minutes and usually completes inside the 2-hour minimum. The single cheapest whole-home move on the platform.
The most common booking in every city. Small van, 2-3 hours door to door. Add the helper only if there is a sofa-bed and a third-floor walk-up in the same sentence.
Medium van plus helper is the sweet-spot spec: 3-4 hours covers loading, the drive and placement in the new rooms. Larger 2-beds with full furniture should consider the Luton.
No lift means more minutes, not more fees. Crews carry straps and shoulder dollies for stair carries, and honest time estimates mean no surprises.
What sets the price of a flat move is not weight - it is minutes: the floor you are on, the lift situation, the walk from door to van, and how boxed you are when the crew arrives. That is why hourly pricing fits flats better than fixed quotes, which must assume the worst staircase in the city. Pay the real minutes, nothing more.
Two identical 1-beds: one boxed, labelled and stacked by the door loads in 50 minutes; one packed 'as we go' takes nearly three hours. At £35/hr that is a £70 difference for an afternoon of taping boxes. Preparation is the only discount code this service has - and it always works.
Entry fobs, concierge sign-ins, service lifts that need booking, bays behind barriers: crews see ten flats a week and know the drill. Share the building quirks in the booking notes and the move starts at your door, not at a confused intercom.
