About Removals
Access, parking and the property layout
Walk the route from the kerb to the front door before booking. Measure the narrowest stairwell, the lift depth, and the front door frame. If the parking spot is more than 15 metres from the entrance, ask if a long carry surcharge applies. Inform the company about any spiral staircase or low archway that needs furniture to be angled sideways.
Choosing between hourly and fixed price
Hourly rates work well for small, local moves with few items and easy access. Fixed quotes suit larger moves with predictable volume and longer distances. Ask whether fuel, mileage, insurance, and VAT are included in the rate. Clarify the minimum booking time, usually 2 to 4 hours, and the overtime rate per crew member.
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.
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.
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.
Insurance and liability for your belongings
All licensed carriers carry basic liability, but coverage is often limited per kilogram, which rarely reflects actual item value. Ask for full-value protection or third-party moving insurance for high-value items like pianos, antiques, or electronics. Photograph valuable pieces before the move and keep a signed inventory list.
Moving fragile or high value items
Glass cabinets, mirrors, marble tops, and flat screen TVs over 55 inches need custom crating, which is usually quoted separately. Standard movers refuse to transport safes above 80 kg, pool tables, or upright pianos without a piano board and an extra technician. Insist on photo documentation before the move so any later claim is easier to settle.
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.
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.
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.
