Item prices are AnyVan's own June 2026 figures for jobs booked on its platform, where drivers often fit an item around other loads, so a local firm's price for a dedicated trip will usually be higher. Fantastic Services' single item range (September 2026) is for a dedicated man and van booking. Dismantling is reallymoving's removal figure published by the HomeOwners Alliance (August 2026); assembly is MyJobQuote's handyman rate (September 2026).
What moves the price
- Distance matters most on fixed-price listings: AnyVan's two-seater sofa runs from as little as £27 for 10 miles to around £108 for 100 miles or more.
- Stairs and access: a third floor with no lift can turn a one-person job into a two-person one.
- Size and weight: AnyVan notes many standard couriers turn down items over 30 kg or 120 cm tall.
- Dismantling and rebuilding wardrobes, beds and corner sofas adds labour time.
- Timing: Checkatrade notes that weekend, evening and short-notice bookings may cost more.
- Several items on one trip cost less each than separate bookings.

Questions about furniture delivery
Do man and van firms move washing machines and fridges?
Yes, but most expect them disconnected and ready. Refit a washing machine's transit bolts, defrost and empty a fridge freezer, and keep it upright where possible. AnyVan listed a fridge freezer at £27 to £46 locally and £51 to £161 nationally in June 2026.
Is dismantling included in a furniture delivery?
Not always. Ask whether taking apart and rebuilding a wardrobe or bed frame is in the price or charged by the hour. On a full removal, reallymoving's average for dismantling is about £125 (HomeOwners Alliance, August 2026).
