A UK to Ireland removal typically costs between £1,000 and £3,600, depending on the size of your home and the route you take. Published 2026 estimates put a 3-bedroom move from London to Dublin at £1,600 to £2,400, and a 3-bedroom move between Belfast and London at £2,250 to £3,050 including the ferry. Sharing space on a scheduled run can cut the cost by 30 to 50 percent.
These are published market estimates, not CrissCross prices. Your actual cost depends on how much you’re moving, where you’re starting from, and the access at both ends. The sections below break down what moves the price, so you can budget before you ask for quotes.
Published estimates for a move from London to Dublin, last updated February 2026:
| Home size | Estimated cost |
|---|---|
| 1-bedroom home | £1,000 to £1,400 |
| 2-bedroom home | £1,200 to £1,700 |
| 3-bedroom home | £1,600 to £2,400 |
| 4-bedroom home | £2,100 to £2,900 |
| 5-bedroom home | £2,600 to £3,600 |
If you’re only moving furniture rather than a full home, published estimates put that at £800 to £2,500.
Published 2026 estimates for a 3-bedroom move between the Belfast area and mainland cities, including the ferry crossing:
| Route | Approx. distance | Estimated cost |
|---|---|---|
| Glasgow | 120 miles | £1,900 to £2,700 |
| Manchester | 230 miles | £2,050 to £2,850 |
| Birmingham | 300 miles | £2,150 to £2,950 |
| London | 380 miles | £2,250 to £3,050 |
These figures were published for moves out of the Belfast area. The crossing and the distance are the same in reverse, so they’re a fair guide for moves into Northern Ireland too.
For more on that route, see our England to Northern Ireland guide.
You’ll notice a 3-bedroom move from London costs more in the Belfast table than in the Dublin table. Both come from published estimates, but they’re calculated differently, and that’s the point: no table can price your move.
Two quotes for the same move can also be far apart, because one includes packing, dismantling or storage and the other doesn’t. Always check what’s included before you compare prices. A survey of your actual home, rather than a guess based on bedroom count, is the only way to get a figure you can rely on.
The ferry crossing. Vehicle crossing fees are why ferry-inclusive quotes usually run higher than the road distance alone would suggest. Moves from Northern Ireland to the Republic go by road, so they have no ferry leg at all.
Distance band. The further your home is from the port, the more driving time is built in. That’s why Glasgow sits at the bottom of the Belfast table and London at the top.
How much you’re moving. Volume matters more than bedroom count. A 3-bedroom home with a full loft and garage can cost more to move than a sparse 4-bedroom one.
Access at both ends. Upper-floor flats with no lift, narrow streets and long carries from the vehicle all add time and crew.
Timing. Summer and end-of-month dates are in highest demand. Midweek, mid-month moves are easier to schedule.
Shared or dedicated load. A shared load puts your belongings on a scheduled run with other moves. A dedicated load is a vehicle just for you, on your dates.
Extras. Packing, dismantling and storage each add to the total, so decide early which you need.
The removal itself isn’t the only cost to plan for:
Our moving to Ireland checklist sets out what to sort and when.
We don’t publish a price list, because a table can’t see your access, your loft or your dates. Instead, every move starts with a free survey, in person or by video, and you get a fixed price in writing. The figure doesn’t change on the day, as long as the job matches what we surveyed.
We’re based in Lisburn and run between Great Britain and Ireland in both directions, with full and part loads available. See how our UK to Ireland moves work, or for moves within Northern Ireland, our Northern Ireland removals cost guide.
Published 2026 estimates range from about £1,000 for a 1-bedroom home to £3,600 for a 5-bedroom home, depending on the route. A 3-bedroom move from London to Dublin is estimated at £1,600 to £2,400. Your own price depends on volume, access and timing, so get a survey-based quote.
Published estimates put a 3-bedroom move from London to Dublin at £1,600 to £2,400. For Northern Ireland, a 3-bedroom move between Belfast and London is estimated at £2,250 to £3,050 including the ferry, and between Belfast and Glasgow at £1,900 to £2,700.
Usually, yes. Published estimates suggest a shared load can cost 30 to 50 percent less than a dedicated vehicle. The trade-off is that your collection and delivery dates fit around the scheduled run, so it suits people with flexible dates.
Ferry-inclusive quotes usually run higher than the road distance alone would suggest, because of vehicle crossing fees. A good quote includes the crossing in the price rather than adding it later, so check before you compare.
If you’re moving from Great Britain to the Republic of Ireland, you can usually apply for Transfer of Residence relief on household goods. If you don’t qualify, import charges can apply, so check revenue.ie first. Moves into Northern Ireland stay within the UK, so no import charges apply.
Midweek and mid-month, outside the summer. Summer and end-of-month dates are in highest demand. If you can be flexible, a shared load on a quieter date is usually the lowest-cost option.
Because they often include different things. One quote may cover packing, dismantling and the ferry, while another leaves them out. Compare what’s included line by line, and only trust quotes based on a survey of your actual home.
Book a survey. It shows the mover your real volume and the access at both ends, which is what turns an estimate into a fixed price. We offer free surveys in person or by video, with a fixed price in writing afterwards.
Tell us where you’re moving from, where you’re going and roughly when. We’ll arrange a free survey and come back with a fixed price in writing, so you know your UK to Ireland removals cost before you commit.
