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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Ask whether the survey is in person or by video, who carries the insurance, and what the cancellation policy is. Confirm the deposit amount, accepted payment methods, and the deadline for the final balance. Verify the company registration, DOT-style licence number, and references from recent customers in your area.
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.
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.
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.
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.
