About Removals
Packing materials and who supplies them
Professional movers use heavy-duty boxes, acid-free tissue, bubble wrap, and wardrobe boxes with hanging rails. If you pack yourself, use double-walled boxes for books and dishes, and avoid overfilling. Ask whether the company supplies materials free, rents them, or expects you to buy them. Unused materials are usually refundable.
How removals prices are calculated
Most companies charge based on the volume in cubic metres, the distance, and the number of crew members. Access difficulty, parking restrictions, and the number of stairs also affect the final price. Request an in-home or video survey rather than accepting an estimate based only on a verbal description. A binding written quote protects you from surprise charges.
Cancellations, delays and the written contract
Read the cancellation clause before paying any deposit. Many companies charge 30 percent if you cancel within 7 days of the move and the full fee if it is within 48 hours. Ask for a start time window of 1 to 2 hours, then request an SMS or call when the crew is 30 minutes away. Always keep a signed copy of the inventory.
Moving with heavy or specialty items
Pianos, safes, pool tables, and large aquariums require specialist handling and often extra crew members. Standard movers may refuse these items or charge a surcharge. Ask whether the company subcontracts specialty work and who carries the liability. Confirm that the destination access can physically accommodate the item.
How long a typical home move takes
A one-bedroom flat usually takes 3 to 5 hours with 2 movers. A three-bedroom house typically requires 6 to 9 hours with 3 movers. Packing, disassembly, and access delays add time. Ask the company for an estimated duration and confirm whether delays caused by the crew are billed or absorbed.
Seasonal demand and time of month
Prices rise between the 25th and the end of each month because leases expire, and again from late May through early September. A midweek move at the start of the month can be 10 to 20 percent cheaper. School holidays also push demand up, so if you can move on a Wednesday morning you will usually get a smaller team at a lower rate.
Booking early and confirming the team size
Book your removals company at least 4 to 6 weeks before moving day, especially at month end or on Fridays. Confirm in writing how many crew members will arrive, because a 2 person team handles a small flat while a 4 person team is standard for a 3 bedroom house. One absent worker can extend the job by 2 to 3 hours.
How to prepare your home before the crew arrives
Reserve a parking spot for the truck, ideally within 10 to 15 metres of the door. Disassemble flat-pack furniture unless the crew is doing it. Label boxes by room and content type. Clear corridors and stairwells of obstacles. Measure doorways, lifts, and tight corners in advance, and tell the company about any narrow access.
Checklist for the final walkthrough
Before the truck leaves, walk through every room and open every cupboard with the team leader. Check loft, garage, garden shed, and behind curtains. Tick each item on the inventory sheet and note any pre existing scratch with a photo and a short description. Keep one copy in the cab and one with you, then sign and date both.
Disassembly and reassembly of furniture
Ask whether the quote includes dismantling beds, wardrobes, tables and large shelving units. Most crews carry basic tools like Allen keys, a drill, and a socket set, but specialist fittings or glued joints often need a carpenter. Reassembly should take about 20 to 30 minutes per double bed and 45 minutes for a wardrobe with 4 panels.
