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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
