How Much Does a Furniture Removal Cost?
There is no single price for a move, it depends on the size of your home, the distance and the access at both ends. The indicative Gauteng local ranges below give you a realistic starting point before you get a free, itemised quote.
| Job size | Typical example | Indicative price |
|---|---|---|
| Small load / few items | A student move, single items or a small flat | from R1,500 |
| 1-bedroom home | A flat or small apartment, local Gauteng move | R2,800 – R4,500 |
| 2–3 bedroom house | A typical family home, local Gauteng move | R4,500 – R9,000 |
| 4+ bedroom / large home | Larger homes and estates, local move | R9,000 – R18,000+ |
| Long-distance move | To another province, shared or dedicated load | Quoted per route |
Indicative Gauteng local ranges for 2026, as a guide only. Your actual quote depends on your volume, the access (stairs, complexes, distance to the truck), packing and storage, and your dates. Long-distance moves are quoted by volume and route, shared loads being the most affordable option.
The biggest factors are the size of your move and the distance, followed by access, whether you add packing or storage, and your dates (month-ends are busiest). Get an instant ballpark from our online cost calculator, or send us your details for a free written quote.
