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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
What to do if something goes wrong on moving day
Document any damage with photos before the crew leaves and note it on the delivery receipt. File a written claim within 7 to 14 days, attaching the inventory list and proof of value. If the company is unresponsive, contact your insurance provider or the relevant consumer protection authority. Keep all receipts for emergency expenses.
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.
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.
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.
