Removal Costs
in Blackpool
Blackpool has very affordable local removal pricing and a strong seasonal property market driven by holiday lets and second homes.
£260 – £500
Under 50 miles • 2-3 bed average
£520 – £1150
50+ miles • 2-3 bed average
The average house move cost in Blackpool is £260–£500 for a typical 2–3 bed home moving locally, covering loading, transport and unloading by a professional removal company. Long-distance moves from Blackpool run £520–£1150 depending on distance and volume.
Blackpool is one of the cheapest places in the North West to move house — £260–£500 for a local 2–3 bed — with a housing stock that keeps crews on their toes: dense Victorian terraces and converted guesthouses off the promenade, many split into flats with narrow stairs and no dedicated parking. Flag the floor level and parking situation at quote stage, because those two details decide whether you land at £260 or £500.
Two pieces of local timing matter more here than anywhere nearby. The holiday season fills the seafront with traffic from Easter onwards, and the Illuminations (September to early January) keep the promenade busy long after other seaside towns have gone quiet — inland routes dodge most of it. For longer moves, Preston is £270–£470 over 17 miles and Manchester £370–£650 over 51, both straightforward via the M55.

Moving Tips for Blackpool
- 1
Confirm parking and any access restrictions at both ends of your move in Blackpool before the day - older streets and apartment blocks can slow loading.
- 2
Mid-week, mid-month moves in Blackpool are typically 10-20% cheaper than Friday or end-of-month slots.
- 3
If you're moving from a flat, check whether the building has a goods lift or restricted move-in hours.
- 4
Always compare quotes from at least three local Blackpool firms - prices vary widely between operators.
Moving and Storage in Blackpool
If there's a gap between moving out and moving in, most removal companies serving Blackpool offer removals with storage: your belongings are loaded once into a sealed container, stored, and delivered when you're ready. Expect the transport leg to cost about the same as a standard local move, plus typically £20–£40 per week per container for the storage itself.
Containerised storage through your remover halves the handling compared with filling a self-storage unit yourself — and if you book both moves with the same firm, ask for a discount on the second leg. Full details in our moving to storage cost guide.
