Is Moving On A Friday More Expensive?

Friday Moving Day? You Won’t Pay More With David Gilkes Removals

Friday is a funny one.

For most people, it’s the day of the week everyone looks forward to. The weekend is nearly here, work is winding down and the thought of putting your feet up is getting increasingly appealing.

But when it comes to moving house, Friday isn't always the most popular choice.

That is… unless it’s the Friday before a Bank Holiday or the last Friday of the month!

Those dates can disappear from the diary surprisingly quickly.

Why are Fridays sometimes quieter for removals?

There are a few reasons why people tend to favour other days of the week for moving.

If you're moving on a Friday, you might have work commitments, children to organise, or simply not want to spend your final working day of the week surrounded by boxes.

There’s also the fact that a Friday move can feel like you're trying to fit an enormous life event into an already busy day.

But for some people, Friday can actually be a brilliant day to move.

Get the keys, get moved in, and you could have the whole weekend ahead of you to unpack, organise and start making the new house feel like home.

And there's another thing worth knowing…

We don't charge more for moving on a Friday

There’s sometimes an assumption that certain days of the week automatically mean a higher removal cost.

Not with David Gilkes Removals.

Our removal prices aren't increased simply because you've chosen a Friday.

Whether you're moving on a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday or Friday, we don't add a Friday surcharge just because it's Friday.

Of course, availability can vary — particularly around Bank Holidays and the end of the month — but the day of the week itself doesn't mean you pay more.

The Friday before a Bank Holiday is a different story…

If you've ever tried to organise anything around a Bank Holiday weekend, you'll know how quickly those dates can become popular.

A Friday before a Bank Holiday gives people the perfect opportunity to move house and then have an extra day (or two!) to unpack without having to rush back to work.

The same applies to the last Friday of the month, which is traditionally a particularly busy time for house moves.

So while an ordinary Friday might have a little more availability, those special Fridays?

They're often booked well in advance.

Could Friday actually be the perfect moving day for you?

If your circumstances allow it, a Friday move could give you a great head start on your new home.

You could:

📦 Move everything into your new home on Friday
🔑 Get the keys and settle in
🍕 Order some well-earned takeaway
🛋️ Spend Saturday getting organised
🏡 Spend Sunday making the place feel like yours

And because we don't charge extra simply for moving on a Friday, there's no reason to rule it out just because it's the end of the working week.

So, don't overlook Friday!

When you're planning your move, it's worth considering all the available dates, rather than automatically assuming certain days will cost more.

And if you're looking for a professional removal company in Rugby and the surrounding areas, David Gilkes Removals can help make moving day as straightforward as possible.

Whether it's Monday morning or Friday afternoon, we're here to get you there.

Just don't leave it until the Friday before a Bank Holiday to give us a call… those ones have a habit of disappearing!
