What factors should I consider when selecting a moving company?

When choosing a removals company, start by checking for accreditation, look for membership in organisations like the British Association of Removers (BAR), which ensures high industry standards.

Consider the range of services they offer; additional options like packing and storage might be important for your move.

Also, read customer reviews to understand others’ experiences and gain valuable insights.

Ensuring the company aligns with your specific needs will help make your move smoother.

Are your staff professionally trained for the job?

Yes, our team undergoes thorough training before joining our removal crews. s members of the British Association of Removers (BAR), we are committed to continuous staff development.

This ensures your belongings are handled with utmost care, efficiency, and safety.

Choosing a company that invests in its staff’s training reflects a commitment to excellence and enhances your overall moving experience.

Well-trained teams make a significant difference in protecting both themselves and your possessions during the move.

Do moving companies provide packing services?

Absolutely!

Many removal companies, including ours, offer professional packing services customised to your needs.

Our trained staff will carefully pack your belongings into clearly labelled boxes, ensuring they’re organised and protected during transit.

This service not only protects your items but also reduces the stress of packing, letting you focus on other aspects of your move.

Are there items that removal companies won’t transport?

Yes, certain items are restricted and cannot be moved.

These usually include flammable materials, lithium batteries, oil-based paints, or anything that might pose a risk to the load or vehicle.

However, if you’re unsure about specific items, please consult your removal company.

They’re available to answer your questions and help address any concerns about prohibited items.

How can I make moving easier for my pets?

Moving can be stressful for pets, who are sensitive to changes in their environment.

To ease their anxiety, consider having your pet stay with a friend or at a pet daycare on moving day.

If they’ll be at home, set up a quiet room with their familiar bed and toys to keep them comfortable. Calming aids like pheromone diffusers can also help.

Keep carriers or crates accessible for a safe and quick transfer when it’s time to go.

Since doors may be open frequently, ensure your pets are securely confined to prevent them from slipping out unnoticed.

How can I save on moving costs?

One effective way to reduce moving expenses is by having a good sort out before you pack.

By minimising the number of items you bring with you, you’ll need fewer boxes and potentially lower the overall cost of the move.

Additionally, starting fresh in your new home without unnecessary clutter can be quite liberating, especially if you’re downsizing.

It’s a practical approach to streamline your move and simplify your life.

When should I book my removal service?

It’s best not to wait until the last minute. We recommend booking your removal service at least four to six weeks before your planned move date.

During busy periods, like the summer months, consider booking eight weeks in advance or more.

Early booking provides ample time to organise, declutter and prepare, reducing stress as moving day approaches.

If you have any questions about scheduling, feel free to contact us—we’re here to help.

Do you offer storage solutions if my new home isn’t ready yet?

Yes, we provide secure storage options for both short-term and long-term needs.

If there’s a gap between your move-out and move-in dates, our storage facilities can safely house your belongings until you’re ready for delivery.

Our storage services are flexible and can be tailored to your specific requirements and you can book a time to come and collect, sort or have all your storage items re-delivered to your new home at any time.

Can you move my plants?

Moving plants can be tricky due to regulations and their delicate nature.

While we can occasionally transport plants locally, there are restrictions for long-distance or international moves.

We recommend discussing this with our team so we can advise you on the best approach, including any necessary precautions to keep your plants healthy during transit.

Can you disassemble and reassemble furniture?

Yes, our movers are experienced in disassembling and reassembling furniture as needed.

We come equipped with the necessary tools to take apart items like beds, wardrobes, and large tables for safe transport.

Upon arrival at your new home, we’ll reassemble these pieces so you can settle in more quickly.

What insurance coverage do you offer for my belongings?

We provide comprehensive insurance options to cover your possessions during transit.

Our standard coverage is included in your quote, but we also offer enhanced policies for additional protection.

We’ll guide you through the available options to ensure you choose the coverage that best suits your needs.

When and how do I pay for removal services?

Payment is usually required by your moving date, which is standard practice in the industry, especially with BAR-accredited companies.

One advantage of choosing a BAR member is the Advanced Payment Guarantee (APG), which protects your payment, offering you peace of mind.

This ensures your funds are secure as you prepare for your move.
