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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
A standard removals service covers loading your packed items onto the truck, transporting them to the new address, and unloading them at the destination. Many companies also offer packing, unpacking, furniture disassembly and reassembly, and temporary storage. Confirm in writing what is included before booking. Hidden exclusions like heavy items, long carries, or stairs often appear only on moving day.
