Removals from London to Cardiff
A fully insured, long-distance move from London and the Home Counties to Cardiff — roughly 150 miles via the M4 across the Severn, around about 3 hours on the road. One vetted crew loads, drives and unloads, charged by the hour with packing and storage available.
What a London to Cardiff move involves
Cardiff is largely Victorian and Edwardian terraces — Pontcanna, Canton and Roath — alongside bay-side apartments down in Cardiff Bay. It's a cross-border move into Wales, which we handle as standard.
The terraced streets of Pontcanna and Roath have residents-permit parking that we arrange in advance; the bay apartments use loading bays and lifts.
A run of this length is comfortably done in a day. Because we charge by the hour, you only pay for the time the job actually takes — the loading in London, the drive to Cardiff, and the unload at the other end — rather than a fixed long-distance surcharge. We give you a clear estimate of the hours involved, including the journey, before you book.

London to Cardiff removals: FAQs
How far is London to Cardiff, and how long does the move take?
It's roughly 150 miles by road via the M4 across the Severn — around about 3 hours of driving each way. A fully loaded removal vehicle is a little slower than a car, and we build the real journey time into your hourly quote so there are no surprises.
Can a London to Cardiff move be done in one day?
A run of this length is comfortably done in a day. We confirm the plan with you once we know the property size and the access at both ends.
How is a long-distance move to Cardiff priced?
By the hour, including driving time — so you pay for the work the move actually takes rather than an inflated flat long-distance premium. Packing and storage are quoted as add-ons.
Can you store our things if the Cardiff dates don't line up?
Yes. Long-distance moves often leave a gap between moving out and moving in, so we offer secure storage at either end of the move.
Which parts of Cardiff do you cover?
All of it — we move from London and the Home Counties to anywhere in Cardiff and South Wales, door to door, with one insured crew the whole way.
