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.
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.
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.
Ask whether the survey is in person or by video, who carries the insurance, and what the cancellation policy is. Confirm the deposit amount, accepted payment methods, and the deadline for the final balance. Verify the company registration, DOT-style licence number, and references from recent customers in your area.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
