Free in person survey.
We offer free in‑person or online video surveys to make getting a quote quick and easy. If you’d prefer a visit, one of our experienced surveyors can meet you in person. If it’s more convenient, we can carry out a video survey at a time that suits you, using your phone or tablet.
Both options allow us to understand exactly what you need, answer any questions, and provide an accurate, no‑obligation quotation — with no pressure and no commitment.
The Booking Process
STEP 1: PRE-MOVE SURVEY
First, we'll conduct a pre-move survey. We will take a detailed inventory of everything that you’re looking to move. Please let us know if anything changes so we can update your quote accordingly
STEP 2: KEEP IN TOUCH
If you'd like to go ahead, please keep in touch with updates on your move date. We'll also follow up with a quick courtesy call to check you've received everything and answer any questions.
STEP 3: LET US KNOW YOUR TENTATIVE DATE
When you have a tentative moving date, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. We’ll make a note of it and do our upmost best to keep you updated on our availability.
STEP 4: BOOK YOUR REMOVAL
Once you've exchanged contracts (if applicable), it's time to book your removal. To confirm your booking, we require a 50% deposit if you're booking more than a week in advance, or full payment if your move is within the next 7 days
STEP 5: MOVING DAY
We’ll give you a courtesy call the working day before your move to confirm the final details and collect any remaining balance. After that, we’ll see you on the big day!

Wherever you're moving, we can help
Removals don't always stop at the front door. Whether you're relocating across Europe, moving further afield internationally, or handling a business relocation - or maybe simply moving locally, we bring the same level of care and planning to every move. Our European removals and international removals services are built around the paperwork, logistics, and timing that cross-border moves demand, while our business removals team understands how important it is to keep disruption to a minimum when you're relocating an office or commercial premises.
If you're not sure what to expect, it's worth taking a moment to learn about our removal process, from that first survey through to the final unpack. Knowing what happens at each stage means you can plan around it with confidence, and it's often the quickest way to see how we'd approach a move like yours. And if you're looking for storage - we have that covered too.
