How much do removals cost in Wallingford?
Wallingford's historic centre can add time to a move because of narrow streets near the Market Place so firms often send an extra pair of hands. Prices are broadly similar to nearby Abingdon and Didcot.
A move to London usually adds an hour or more of driving time on top of the loading and unloading so factor that into your quote.
| Property | Local move in Wallingford | Wallingford to London |
|---|---|---|
| 1 bed flat | £300 to £550 | £550 to £900 |
| 2 bed house | £450 to £750 | £750 to £1150 |
| 3 bed house | £650 to £1000 | £1000 to £1550 |
| 4 bed house | £900 to £1400 | £1350 to £2050 |
| 5 bed house | £1300 to £1900 | £1800 to £2700 |
Parking and permits for removal vans in Wallingford
South Oxfordshire District Council manages parking permits in Wallingford including any bay suspensions needed near the Market Place. The town's back streets are narrow so a suspension is often worth arranging ahead of moving day.
Winterbrook Bridge and the roads leading towards the castle can get busy at peak times which is worth building into your moving day schedule.
To book a parking suspension or dispensation visit the South Oxfordshire District Council parking page.
