Removals in Cardiff
Cardiff moves can be shaped by event days at the Principality Stadium, flats in Cardiff Bay and Wales's own tax on buying a home. Here's what to plan for and how to compare movers covering your CF postcode.
Compare removal companies - start with your postcode, then list what you're moving online. Prices can change until you book.
Cardiff postcode areas
- CF
The CF postcode area covers Cardiff plus Penarth, Barry, Caerphilly, Pontypridd and Bridgend, and up the valleys to Merthyr Tydfil.
Parking for the removal van
Ask Cardiff Council for city addresses. Penarth and Barry are in the Vale of Glamorgan, so ask that council there.
- Cardiff Council: the city of Cardiff
- Vale of Glamorgan Council: Penarth and Barry
- Caerphilly County Borough Council: Caerphilly and its surrounding valleys
- Rhondda Cynon Taf Council: Pontypridd and the Rhondda
Planning a move in Cardiff
Stadium event days
Big matches and concerts at the Principality Stadium close roads in the city centre. Avoid booking a city-centre move on an event day.
Buying in Wales
If you're buying a home in Wales, you pay Land Transaction Tax, not Stamp Duty Land Tax. It's collected by the Welsh Revenue Authority, and your solicitor usually files the return.
Moving to or from Bristol
The Severn bridge tolls were scrapped in December 2018, so there's no bridge toll between Cardiff and Bristol.
How MoveFinder works for a Cardiff move
- Enter your postcodes. Start with your Cardiff postcode and where you're moving to.
- List your items online. Room by room, with stairs, lifts and parking at both ends. There's no home survey visit - companies quote from your inventory.
- Compare movers. See the companies that cover your area side by side. The Verified Partner badge means our team has checked that company's insurance documents, and every review says where it came from.
- Book online. Every customer's mobile number is WhatsApp-verified with a code, so companies know your enquiry is real. Prices can change until you book.
Cardiff removals: your questions
Should I avoid moving on a match day?
If either address is in or near the city centre, yes - roads close around the Principality Stadium on big event days. Check the stadium's event calendar before you pick a date.
Is Penarth covered by Cardiff Council?
No. Penarth and Barry are in the Vale of Glamorgan, which has its own council.
