Studio Flat Removals in London
A studio move is small, but it still has to fit around key handover, stairs and parking. We send the right-sized van and two people, carry everything in one trip, and give you a fixed price from £199 — or hourly man and van from £50/hour if you only have a few pieces.

Studio moves sized properly
Studio moves should be quick, affordable and booked around key-exchange — not treated like a four-bed house job. Phi Movers runs dedicated studio moves across London with a fixed quote for typical loads, or hourly man-and-van when that suits better.
Guides start from around £199 depending on volume, floors and distance. You get a clean van, a capable crew and careful handling of sofas, beds and boxes through tight studio doors and shared corridors.
Ideal for first flats, downsizing and student-to-studio jumps. Call us or send your addresses in a quote request for a clear price within about one working hour.
Removal van sizes for a studio flat
Most furnished studios fit comfortably in a long-wheelbase panel van or a Luton box van. As a rough guide, a long-wheelbase panel van holds around 10–12 cubic metres and a Luton around 18–20 — enough for a double bed, a sofa, a wardrobe and 20–30 boxes with room to strap everything safely.
If you’re leaving furniture behind in a furnished let, a smaller van may do. Send us a list or a couple of photos of the room and we’ll choose the van, so you don’t pay for space you won’t use or end up needing a second trip.
- Unfurnished studio with bed, sofa and boxes: usually a Luton
- Furnished let with boxes and a few pieces: often a panel van
- Studio plus storage unit or second address: tell us both
Fixed studio price or hourly man and van?
A fixed studio move from £199 suits a full studio with furniture, because the price is agreed before the day and doesn’t change if the stairs take longer than expected. Hourly man and van from £50/hour with a two-hour minimum suits a light load you’ve already packed, where the job will be quick.
We’ll tell you honestly which works out cheaper for your load. If you’re unsure, a quick video call around the room is enough for us to say.

- The volume of items and the size of van required
- How many crew members or helpers you need
- Access at both addresses — stairs, lifts and carry distance
- Total mileage beyond the first 10 included miles

FAQs
Answers about studio moves: pricing, booking, access and what is included.
For a packed studio with straightforward access, loading usually takes around an hour, plus travel and unloading. Stairs without a lift, long carries from parking and unpacked items add time.
