Invoice templates for removal companies covering house moves, commercial relocations, packing, storage, and man-and-van services.
A removal company invoice records the cost of moving a client's belongings from one location to another, along with any packing, storage, or specialist handling services. UK removal firms range from sole-trader man-and-van operators to large multi-vehicle removal companies. The British Association of Removers (BAR) sets industry standards for its members, and BAR membership adds significant credibility. Removal invoices typically cover a fixed move day rate based on the volume of goods and travel distance, plus any packing materials (boxes, wrapping, tape), storage if the new property is not ready, and specialist services for pianos, antiques, or fine art. An accurate pre-move survey (in-person or virtual) is essential for pricing. Insurance for goods in transit should be referenced on the invoice, and clients should be informed of what is and is not covered.
| Service | Typical Rate | Unit |
|---|---|---|
| House move (local, 2-bed, 1 van + 2 crew) | 450 | move |
| House move (long-distance, 3-bed, 1 van + 2 crew) | 900 | move |
| Full packing service (materials + labour) | 350 | flat |
| Packing materials only (boxes, tape, wrap) | 80 | kit |
| Secure storage (per module per week) | 45 | module/week |
| Piano removal | 200 | item |
| Additional van / luton (per day) | 250 | vehicle |
Removal companies should take a booking deposit (25–30%) when the move date is confirmed, with the balance typically due on or before the move day. Do not commence loading without full payment cleared if the client is paying on the day. For clients using storage after the move, set up a monthly recurring invoice for the storage period. Clearly state the termination notice period required and any minimum storage duration. For corporate relocations (office moves, staff relocation packages), invoice the HR department or facilities manager with a purchase order and Net 30 terms. Include a detailed breakdown of crew hours, vehicles, and mileage for cost reporting purposes.
