  2. Have all the licenses and insurance needed to protect you and their workers 
  3. Have a good range of positive reviews from happy customers vouching for their reliability  
  4. Are offering the service you need, and are available to carry out the work in the timeframe you need it by 
  5. Are quoting a price and payment option that you are happy with, having compared the quote with other removal firms

What a removal company can help you with 

Everyone knows that moving homes can be an incredibly stressful time. To help you get the job done as quickly and stress-free as possible, relocation companies offer a range of services: 

  • House removals 
  • Moving business premises 
  • Temporary or long term storage solutions 
  • Full packing and moving services  
  • Packing down furniture and re-building it at the other end 
  • Partial packing and moving services  
  • (Hu)man with a van 

Many removal companies offer both full and partial packing services. With a full packing service you don’t have to lift a finger – they’ll arrive with bundles of boxes, bubble wrap and tape, before packing everything up for you. They’ll even dismantle furniture and build it again at the other end! 

Partial packing services will pack larger, fragile, or hard-to-move items for you on the day of the move. This is great if you’re not confident packing up fragile items and valuables, but still want to do some of the other work yourself. 

removal-page-1-1024x682.jpg

What information does a removal service need from me? 

Your moving service will need a bunch of information from you to be able to carry out the job swiftly and efficiently. This includes details about the following: 

  1. Where do the belongings need to be picked up from? 
  2. Where are the belongings being moved to? 
  3. Do you require storage, and if so, for how long? 
  4. Do you require mobile storage? 
  5. The time and date of the move (the earlier you can provide this, the better) 

They may also ask you how many rooms your current property has, and how many rooms the property you are moving to has.  

Moving requires a lot of organisation and planning. To help make your move as easy as possible, we’ve created a house removal guide which includes a house move checklist and timeline for what you need to do, and when.

Other removal service FAQ's

How much does it cost to hire a removal company in the UK? 

On average, hiring a professional removal company for a standard domestic move ranges between £1,000 and £3,000, depending heavily on the volume of belongings, your location, and the transit distance. Local moves under 50 miles will typically sit at the lower end of this budget, while long-distance relocations or packing services will drive the price toward the higher end. For larger international relocations, costs can easily scale upwards of £10,000 depending on the destination and total cargo volume.

For a more accurate, free quote, find a removal company today. 

What should I ask a removal company before booking their services?

Before hiring a removal firm, you should request a transparent cost estimate and a realistic timeline to ensure the crew can comfortably complete the move within your moving-day window. It is also vital to verify that their drivers hold a Driver Certificate of Professional Competence (CPC) and possess a goods vehicle operator’s licence if they are operating vehicles over 3,500kg. To ensure maximum peace of mind, look for companies that carry comprehensive public liability and goods in transit insurance, or those with accredited membership in the British Association of Removers (BAR).

How far in advance should I book a professional removal company?

Ideally, you should look to contact removal companies for quotes around 4 to 6 weeks before your intended moving day to ensure your preferred date is available. Giving as much notice as possible is especially critical if you are planning a move during the peak summer months or at the very end of a month, which are traditionally the busiest times for UK property relocations.

Artificial grass- I had a hard time with him to get the job done. A lot of defects and issues of work done and initially was arguing a lot for them and then looked into 3 weeks later. He was not at the site and his workmen were trying to fool me out constantly even at major mistakes they were doing. I had to get into the work to get it done to an acceptable level even though it was not done as agreed. I’m asking now for 2 weeks for the invoice for the payment still not had as promised by post/email.
