Worth knowing

Worth checking before work starts

A few rules and checks that apply to this kind of work.

  1. Parking for the van

    Check where the van can park at both homes. On a busy street, ask your council whether you need permission to reserve the space.

  2. Cover for your belongings

    Ask what cover the firm has for your belongings while they are packed, moved and stored, and what it doesn't cover.

  3. Measure large items

    Measure large furniture and check it will fit through the doors and up the stairs at your new home.

Questions

Moving and storage questions

My job isn't in the list. What should I choose?

Choose the closest job, then explain what you need in the description step.

What jobs can I request quotes for here?

House removals, man and a van, packing, storage, piano and international removals, haulage and deliveries. The full list is in the form's first step.

Can I request quotes to move a few items rather than a whole home?

Yes. Choose Man And A Van and list the items in the description.

Can I request quotes for packing as well as the move?

Yes. Choose House Removal, then say in the description that you'd like packing too.

How much does it cost to move house?

For the removal itself, it depends on how much you are moving, the distance, access and parking at both ends, and whether you want packing or storage. Ask each firm to quote for the same list of rooms and items.

How do I compare removal quotes?

Give every firm the same list of rooms and large items, or ask for a survey. Check whether packing, materials, taking furniture apart and cover for your belongings are included.
