Volume Estimator Tool for House Moves – Plan Your Move with Confidence

Estimate Volume

When planning a house move, one of the most important things to understand is how much space your belongings will require. Our Volume Estimator Tool is designed to make this process simple and clear. It gives you a practical way to calculate the estimated volume of your furniture, appliances, and packed boxes.

Using reliable industry averages for common household items, the tool helps you estimate the total volume in cubic metres. Whether you are moving from a small flat or a large family home, this tool gives you the insight you need to prepare properly and request an accurate moving quote based on the size of your move.

Why Use the Volume Estimator Tool?

Moving can be a complex and stressful experience, and having a clear understanding of the volume of your items can significantly reduce anxiety. The Volume Estimator Tool serves as a preliminary step in your moving journey, allowing you to:

Calculate the Total Volume: Get an estimate of the total volume of your belongings, which is essential for receiving accurate moving quotes.

Plan Efficiently: Knowing the volume can help you plan the logistics of your move, ensuring that you have the right size vehicle and minimizing potential costs.

Prepare for Packing: Understanding the volume will allow you to better prepare your packing strategy, ensuring that your items are packed securely and efficiently.

How the Volume Estimator Works

To begin using the Volume Estimator Tool, click the button located at the top or bottom of this page. The tool will open in a new window, allowing you to complete your volume estimate without losing your place or navigation on the main site.

The estimator is designed to reflect the layout of a typical home, with each room presented on a separate page. You can move between rooms freely, and all information you enter will be saved as you go. This makes it easy to record the quantity of small, medium, and large moving boxes you’ll need, along with the estimated volume for each item selected.

As you go through each room, simply select the furniture, appliances, or belongings you plan to move. The tool uses industry-standard averages to calculate the cubic volume of your household goods, helping us build an accurate picture of your total move size.

Please note that while the tool covers most standard household items, it may not include every unique or oversized piece. If you're moving items such as pianos, large sculptures, or custom furniture, we recommend noting these separately or including that information when requesting your quote.

Important Considerations for Accuracy

Empty Furniture Matters

One crucial detail to remember is that all furniture must be considered empty when calculating volume. You cannot plan to fill cabinets or drawers with clothes or boxes. This guideline is particularly relevant on the day of your move, as our professional drivers will need to load the actual items being transported onto the vehicle. Make sure to clear out drawers, cabinets, and any other storage areas before the move begins. If items are left inside furniture, it could lead to discrepancies in the calculated volume, potentially affecting your moving quote.

Submit Your Digital Inventory for Weight Confirmation

Once your booking is confirmed, you’ll receive access to our Digital Inventory Tool. This must be completed at least five days before your moving date. By selecting the items you plan to move, the tool calculates the estimated weight of your load.

Accurate reporting is essential. If the final load differs significantly from what was submitted, it could lead to additional charges on moving day. The volume you enter plays a key role in confirming your quote and ensuring the correct vehicle is allocated for your move.

Get Your Personalised Moving Quote

After estimating your move volume with our Volume Estimator Tool, you'll see a "Quote My Move" button on the final page. Click it to move straight into the next step, where we’ll generate a tailored quote based on the items you’ve selected.

Clear pricing is crucial when organising a move. That’s why we use your estimated volume to match the right vehicle to your needs and provide transparent costs with no hidden charges. The quote reflects the true scale of your move, so you’ll know exactly what to expect before confirming.

Why Accurate Volume Matters

An accurate volume calculation is critical for several reasons:

Cost Efficiency: Knowing the correct volume helps prevent unexpected charges. If the volume is underestimated, you may need to book a larger vehicle last minute, which could incur additional fees.

Proper Vehicle Selection: A correct volume estimation allows us to allocate the right size vehicle for your move. This ensures that your items are transported safely and efficiently.

Logistical Planning: Understanding the volume helps in planning the order of loading the vehicle, which can save time and minimize the risk of damage during transit.
