Hiring a removal company in Andover typically costs between £300 and £1,500 or more, depending on the size of your move, distance to your new home, and the services you need such as packing or storage.
Removal costs in Andover vary quite considerably depending on several factors. As a rough guide, a one-bedroom flat move within Andover or to a nearby location might cost from around £300 to £500, a three-bedroom house move could range from £600 to £1,000, and a larger or more complex move — particularly one involving a longer distance, such as from Andover to Bournemouth or further along the South Coast — could reach £1,200 to £1,500 or beyond. These are indicative figures only; the only reliable way to know your cost is to request a written quote.
The main factors that affect your removal quote include:
It is worth getting at least two or three written quotes rather than relying on telephone estimates. A reputable company will either carry out a home survey in person or ask you to complete a detailed video or online survey so they can quote accurately. Be cautious of unusually low quotes that do not specify what is included, as hidden charges for stairs, long carries, or fuel can appear on the day.

Contact us to discuss your requirements and receive a clear, itemised estimate.
Is it cheaper to move on a weekday than a weekend in Andover?
Generally yes. Most removal companies, including those serving Andover, charge a premium for Saturday moves and may not operate on Sundays at all. If you have flexibility, a mid-week move can reduce your quote noticeably and also tends to mean less road traffic on routes such as the A303 or A34.
How far in advance should I book a removal company for an Andover move?
Booking four to six weeks ahead is advisable for most moves, and even earlier if you are moving at the end of the month or during school holiday periods, when demand is highest. Last-minute bookings are sometimes possible but limit your choice of company and date.
Does the removal company price include VAT?
It should do, but always check. Ask specifically whether the quote you receive is inclusive of VAT, and ensure the final written quote itemises exactly what is covered — vehicle, crew, fuel, and any packing materials — so there are no surprises on moving day.
Can Astra Removals handle a move from Andover to Bournemouth or the Dorset coast?
Yes. Astra Removals regularly assists customers moving between Hampshire and Dorset. Andover to Bournemouth is roughly 40 to 45 miles via the A338 or A31, and we are familiar with this route and the access conditions at both ends. Contact us for a tailored quote for your specific move.
