One of the most common questions we’re asked is, “How long will my move take?” While the exact time depends on the size of your property and the volume of your belongings, we can provide some general guidance to help you plan your day when moving with Forest Removals.

What Factors Affect the Time?

• Property Size: A one-bedroom flat may only take a few hours, while a four-bedroom house can take a full day.
• Distance to the New Location: Moves within the same town are quicker, while longer distances require additional travel time.
• Packing: If you’ve opted for our packing service, we’ll carefully prepare your belongings in advance, saving time on the moving day itself.
• Access: Narrow lanes, staircases, or restricted parking may require extra time to manoeuvre larger items.

Typical Timelines

• Small Properties: 3–5 hours
• Medium Properties: 5–8 hours
• Large Properties: 8+ hours, depending on access and travel.

Helpful Tips to Save Time

1️⃣ Be Ready: Ensure everything is packed and labelled before we arrive. Clear access points for smooth loading and unloading.
2️⃣ Disassemble Furniture: Where possible, take apart large furniture items in advance (or let us handle it for you).
3️⃣ Communicate Clearly: Let us know about any fragile or heavy items that may require special handling.
