Taking the worry out of your removal
“We assure you a worry free removal so that you can focus on your future”.
We know it feels like there are a million and one things to remember when arranging to move house, but with a bit of organisation and using our checklist, you can reduce the job load into easy manageable chunks.
8 weeks before you move house
If you have accepted an offer on your home, whilst nothing is set in stone, it's worth staring to gather information that will assist you during the move.
- Begin to enquire about your removal with us by securing a surveyor to come to your property.
- Ensure you begin selling/clearing out unwanted items.
4 weeks before you move house
- If you are renting, give notice to your landlord.
- Try to confirm definite dates, or as near as you can get and get these booked in with us.
- Book time off work should you need to.
- If you want insurance other than the standard liability that we offer, start organising this now.
- If you need help with disconnecting appliances, begin to source plumbers and electricians.
- Contact water, phone and internet suppliers.
2 weeks before you move house
- Secure your definite booking with us. Getting everything set in stone will reduce the pressure.
- Begin to dismantle furniture if you have agreed you are doing this.
- Begin to organise packing if you're doing this.
- Start running fridges and freezers down.
- Clear your loft and garden.
- If any lawnmowers or motors are coming into store, drain these of fuel.
7 days before you move house
Now you are approaching your removal date you need to ensure the following are in order:
- Read your water, electric and gas meter.
- Doctors, dentists and all other mailing addresses need to be updated.
- Ensure all packing is complete if you are conducting this.
- Ensure you know where all your paperwork and important documents are.

Great Team
From the moment the team walked into our home to pack up for the move we knew we were in professional hands they worked quickly but were very careful with our belongings and they were very approachable. On the day of the move they arrived on time and loaded the lorry efficiently with care making sure everything was safely stored. On arrival to the new property Ben & Chris worked solidly to make sure all our belongings were unloaded and placed into the correct rooms. We can honestly say this move was the only thing that went through without any stress which is more than can be said for the actual purchase. The whole team from the first telephone call to arrange a quote to the actual move was done with care, commitment and professionalism the whole team were a pleasure to work with we would like to say a big thank you to Ben R, Ben W and Chris D.
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!
