Bath Removals Company

How much will my move cost?

The cost of your move depends on factors like volume of items, distance, and any extra services such as packing or storage or difficult handling such as pianos. To get an accurate quote, removal companies often offer free surveys to assess your specific needs. Providing detailed information, including access considerations and any special care items, helps to ensure your quote is precise and tailored to your move.

Does White & Company do long distance removals?

Yes, we do. We can arrange for your belongings to be transported all over the UK, Europe and to international destinations.

What happens if I have a large number of belongings to transport?

No problem at all for White & Company.  We have a fleet of vehicles to accommodate any move. Depending on the volume of your move, we have vehicles of all sizes from small vans to road trains. Our helpful surveyor will determine how big the van needs to be when he conducts his thorough move survey.

How long does the moving process typically take?

It depends on the size of your property, distance to your new location, and any added services like packing or dismantling furniture. A one-day move is common for smaller properties, while a multi-day plan may be necessary for larger moves or long distances. Removal companies aim to minimise downtime, so discuss your timetable and any constraints to create a schedule that fits your needs. Your home move surveyor will tell you how long the move will take.

Should I pack my own boxes, or can you do it for me?

Removal firms provide both options. You can save on costs by packing yourself, but it is a skilled job. Professional packers use specialised materials and techniques to protect fragile items. If you’re short on time or worried about breakables, consider a packing service. You can also opt for partial packing support, such as packing only delicate or high-value possessions, while handling more general items on your own.

But be aware, your mover will not insurance any boxes packed by owners.

Will my belongings be insured during transit?

Most reputable removal companies include standard insurance coverage in their quotes, offering protection for your items while in transit. If you have high-value or unique belongings, additional coverage may be recommended for extra peace of mind. Always confirm the level of insurance offered, any excess fees, and whether specific items are excluded. You can also check whether your home insurance policy extends to moving coverage.

Can you store my items if my new home isn’t ready yet?

White & Company can offer short- and long-term storage solutions for belongings that can’t immediately be moved into your new property. These storage facilities are typically secure, climate-controlled, and monitored to keep items in good condition. Storage can also help if you’re downsizing, decluttering, or needing a temporary place for furnishings. Ask about size options, pricing structures, and access arrangements, so you can retrieve items whenever they’re needed.

What happens if something is damaged during the move?

Reputable removal companies have claims procedures to handle damage or loss. Promptly report any issues and provide detailed information about the item and the nature of the damage. The company’s insurance should cover the cost of repair or replacement, depending on the policy terms. Always review the removal agreement and insurance details before moving day to understand how to file a claim and ensure a smooth resolution.

Do you disassemble and reassemble furniture?

Yes, we will dismantle and rebuild large items for ease of transport, though this service may come at an additional cost depending on the item. Let our surveyor know in advance which pieces you’ll need help with, so the removal team can bring the right tools and schedule enough time. Remember to keep track of hardware and instructions, especially for more complex items like wardrobes or large bed frames.

How far in advance should I book a removal company?

It’s best to book as early as possible to secure your preferred date, especially if you’re moving during peak times like weekends, school holidays, or month ends. Aim for at least two to four weeks’ notice. However, if you’re pressed for time, many companies can accommodate last-minute moves. Early booking also gives you time to compare quotes, gather packing materials, and finalise details ahead of the big day.

Do you provide packing materials?

Yes, we supply high-quality boxes, packing tape, wrapping paper, and protective covers. Some offer bespoke crates for delicate or large pieces, such as artwork or antiques. If you decide to self-pack, purchasing materials from your removal company can simplify the process, ensuring you have the proper supplies. Don’t forget essentials like bubble wrap, tissue paper, and labels—keeping everything well-organised makes the unpacking phase much easier.

What steps can I take to prepare for moving day?

Start by decluttering and sorting items into categories: keep, donate, or dispose. Label boxes clearly and keep an inventory to track everything. Communicate special requirements or fragile items to the removal team. Ensure parking and access are arranged on both ends. Have important documents, keys, and valuables separate from main boxes for quick retrieval. Staying organised and planning early helps make moving day stress-free and efficient.
