About Removals
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.
Payment methods and deposits
Most removal firms ask for a deposit between 10 and 25 percent to lock the date, paid by bank transfer or card. The balance is usually due by cash on arrival or card on completion. Avoid companies that demand 100 percent upfront or only accept cash with no receipt. A proper invoice should list VAT, the hourly or fixed fee, and any extra charges.
Protecting floors, walls and doorframes
Request doorframe protectors, floor runners, and blankets for the staircase. A good crew uses heavy duty blankets, rubber bands, and hard plastic corner guards on items such as dressers and fridge freezers. If your home has new timber flooring or freshly painted walls, mention it so the crew uses extra padding rather than dragging dollies across the surface.
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.
Storage options when dates do not align
If your old and new homes overlap, short-term storage is often available at the removals company's warehouse. Climate-controlled units protect wood furniture and electronics from humidity damage. Ask about the storage fee per week, the insurance coverage during storage, and the access policy for retrieving items before delivery.
Common damage issues during a move
Scratched floors, dented door frames, and broken furniture joints are the most frequent complaints. Items packed poorly by the customer are usually excluded from claims. Ask the crew to use floor runners, door jamb protectors, and blankets. Photograph any pre-existing damage to walls and floors before the move begins.
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.
What a removals service usually includes
A standard removals service covers loading your packed items onto the truck, transporting them to the new address, and unloading them at the destination. Many companies also offer packing, unpacking, furniture disassembly and reassembly, and temporary storage. Confirm in writing what is included before booking. Hidden exclusions like heavy items, long carries, or stairs often appear only on moving day.
Pet and child safety on the day
Keep cats and dogs in a closed room with water and a sign on the door so no door is opened during the carry. Children should be with a relative or neighbour while heavy items cross the hallway. Movers cannot supervise minors, and a curious toddler near a loaded trolley is the most common cause of last minute delays or minor injuries during a move.
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.
