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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Inspect boxes and furniture within 24 hours of delivery, because most policies require a damage claim within 3 to 5 working days. Photograph any issue next to the box label so the serial number is visible. If something is broken, email the inventory copy, the photos, and a short description of the incident to the company before unpacking further.
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.
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.
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.
