About Removals
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.
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.
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.
How removals prices are calculated
Most companies charge based on the volume in cubic metres, the distance, and the number of crew members. Access difficulty, parking restrictions, and the number of stairs also affect the final price. Request an in-home or video survey rather than accepting an estimate based only on a verbal description. A binding written quote protects you from surprise charges.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
