Who sets relocation prices

There is no fixed tariff for relocation. The figure is set by the provider's own economics, covering labour, materials, travel and availability, so it varies by company and by season.

Timing your relocation

For relocation, same-day and after-hours call-outs sit at the top of the range. A standard appointment booked in advance gives you the best chance of the typical figure.
