    FAQs

    Our team is trained to handle your belongings with care, giving you peace of mind that everything will arrive safely at your new home.

    How should I choose a home removals company?

    Choosing the right removals company involves considering a few key factors.

    First, check for accreditation; for example, members of the British Association of Removers (BAR) adhere to the highest industry standards, ensuring dependable service.

    You’ll also want to review the services on offer, such as packing or storage, to ensure they meet all your needs.

    Lastly, check customer reviews to get insight into other clients’ experiences, helping you understand the level of service you can expect.

    Do I need to pay upfront for removals?

    Typically, payment is required by your moving date, which is standard for companies accredited by the BAR. This payment is covered by the BAR’s Advanced Payment Guarantee (APG), offering extra security for your move.

    Is it customary to tip the removals team?

    Tipping is entirely optional. While it’s appreciated, it’s not expected, and any amount should reflect what you feel is appropriate. Our team is committed to providing excellent service, whether or not a tip is given.

    Are there any items that removals companies won’t move?

    Yes, certain items cannot be moved due to safety reasons. These typically include flammable substances, lithium batteries, oil-based paints, and anything else that might endanger the load or vehicle.

    If you’re unsure about a specific item, please don’t hesitate to ask us for clarification.

    When should I book my move?

    It’s recommended to book your move at least 4 to 6 weeks in advance. During the busy summer months, aim for 8 weeks or more. Early planning gives you time to prepare everything and ensures your preferred moving date is available.

    How can I reduce the cost of my move?

    One way to save on moving costs is to declutter before you pack. By reducing the volume of belongings, you’ll require fewer boxes, which can lower expenses. Plus, moving into a new space with less clutter can make settling in easier, especially if you’re downsizing.
