Our Removals & Storage Services
Free Survey
A surveyor will conduct a free home survey to establish the precise volume of effects being transported. This involves observing your current home room-by-room, carefully noting items to be transported or exported, whilst recording all details via electronic tablet. Alternatively, you can conduct a video survey yourself.
Packing Service
Once you agree to proceed, we’ll set a moving date with you for our removals team and vehicles to arrive at your residence for the big day. Our fully trained removals team will export pack and wrap all items being shipped in special breathable bubble wrap and double-lined cardboard boxes, ensuring your prized possessions are suitably protected.
Secure Storage
White and Company owns and operates its own short and long term warehouse facilities strategically placed in 19 locations throughout the United Kingdom, providing secure, clean and dry containerised storage in personal dedicated storage containers. This ensures all your items are stored and protected from damage prior to despatch.
Overseas Shipping
Upon arrival at a local depot, all goods are transferred to the export warehouse to await loading onto a container. The container is booked onto the first available vessel destined to the closest port of entry to your final destination. Once your shipment arrives at the port of destination, your goods will pass through customs prior to despatch to your new home.

Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the average cost of moving home?
The cost associated with moving home differs greatly based on factors including the size of your home, the volume of effects to be moved, and the distance to transport. On average, the current cost of moving a 3-bedroom house within a 20-mile radius is approximately £800. A smaller one or two bedroom property may cost as low as £350-500 whilst a home with more than 5 bedrooms could easily exceed £1,500.
How can I save money on removals?
Limiting your possessions can help contribute towards cost savings during the removal process by reducing the overall volume of items to be transported. Additionally, moving into a new home without unnecessary belongings that have accumulated over the years adds a refreshing and decluttered touch to your relocation.
What day of the week is cheapest for removals?
For a cost-effective house removal, consider planning your move on a Tuesday or Wednesday. These weekdays typically experience lower demand for moving services, as opposed to the busier weekends. Opting for these less congested days not only allows for potential cost savings but may also result in a more attentive service due to decreased workloads.
What month of the year is cheapest to move home?
Choosing to move between late September and April is best if you’re trying to save money. This timeframe avoids the peak moving season during summer and the heightened demand during Autumn, extending up to early September. This period coincides with university students and renters moving out as their college terms and leases come to an end.
Do you pay up front for home removals?
Typically, payment is expecting before your moving date, aligning with the standard practice among BAR-accredited companies in the industry. It’s important to point out that the fee is safeguarded by an Advanced Payment Guarantee (APG) when selecting a BAR member like us for your move.
How far in advance should I book a removal company?
It’s advisable to book your removal company 4-6 weeks prior to your intended moving date, with a longer lead time recommended during peak periods like summer. This timeframe allows plenty of opportunity to gather quotes, compare prices, and efficiently schedule your move.
