Frequently Asked Questions
Which days tend to be the cheapest for removals?
There’s no definitive rule but moving on weekdays (Monday to Thursday) often comes at a lower cost. Demand usually peaks on weekends when people have more free time, meaning higher prices. If you’d like a personalised quote, give us a call on 02392 989287, and our team will be more than happy to help.
How can I choose the right removal company?
Accreditation is a great place to start, ensure the firm is a member of the British Association of Removers (BAR). This means they must adhere to rigorous industry standards, giving you peace of mind. Also, check the range of services on offer, such as packing and storage, and read online reviews to get a feel for other customers’ experiences.
Do I need to pay in advance for removals?
Most BAR-accredited companies will expect payment by, or shortly before, the moving day. With BAR membership, your fees are protected by an Advanced Payment Guarantee (APG), adding an extra layer of financial security.
Will a removals company pack my belongings for me?
Yes. Many removal firms, including ours, offer a professional packing service. Our trained team will carefully pack your items in protective, clearly labelled boxes, giving you assurance that everything will arrive safely and be easy to unpack at your new home.
Are there any items that can’t be moved?
Flammable materials, oil-based paints, certain chemicals, and anything that could pose a danger to the vehicle or its contents cannot be transported. If you’re unsure about a particular item, feel free to ask us for guidance.
Should I tip my removals crew?
Tipping is never compulsory. Our team always strives to provide the best possible service, whether you choose to tip or not. That said, a small gesture is appreciated if you feel they have gone the extra mile.
How can I reduce my moving costs?
Decluttering is one of the best ways to keep costs down. By sorting through what you need and discarding or donating unwanted items, you’ll have fewer boxes to move, saving time, space, and money. It also makes for a fresher start in your new home.
How far ahead should I book my removals?
Ideally, schedule your move four to six weeks in advance. During peak periods such as the summer months, you may need to book eight weeks or more ahead. This helps secure your preferred moving date and gives you ample time to prepare.
What if my new property isn’t ready yet—do you offer storage?
Yes, we can arrange secure storage solutions if there’s a delay between vacating your current home and moving into the next. Whether you need short- or long-term storage, we’re here to help keep your belongings safe.
Is there insurance for my items during the move?
Reputable removal companies typically offer standard insurance coverage as part of their service. However, it’s wise to confirm exactly what’s covered and consider additional insurance if you have any high-value or delicate items.
