Our Removals & Storage Services
Free Survey
A surveyor will conduct a free home survey to establish the precise volume of effects being transported. This involves observing your current home room-by-room, carefully noting items to be transported or exported, whilst recording all details via electronic tablet. Alternatively, you can conduct a video survey yourself.
Packing Service
Once you agree to proceed, we’ll set a moving date with you for our removals team and vehicles to arrive at your residence for the big day. Our fully trained removals team will export pack and wrap all items being shipped in special breathable bubble wrap and double-lined cardboard boxes, ensuring your prized possessions are suitably protected.
Secure Storage
White and Company owns and operates its own short and long term warehouse facilities strategically placed in 19 locations throughout the United Kingdom, providing secure, clean and dry containerised storage in personal dedicated storage containers. This ensures all your items are stored and protected from damage prior to despatch.
Overseas Shipping
Upon arrival at a local depot, all goods are transferred to the export warehouse to await loading onto a container. The container is booked onto the first available vessel destined to the closest port of entry to your final destination. Once your shipment arrives at the port of destination, your goods will pass through customs prior to despatch to your new home.
Local & National Removals
We provide an award winning local & national house removals service across the whole of the UK. With a fleet of over 265 vehicles and 19 branches strategically located in some of the UK's most popular towns and cities in close proximity to major ports, we provide a fast and reliable house removals service whether you're moving locally or nationally.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I use a professional removals company?
While moving yourself might seem cheaper upfront, hiring a professional removal company offers far more value. Experienced movers handle your belongings with care, using the right tools and techniques to avoid damage. They also save you time and effort by managing everything from packing to unloading—so your move is efficient, safe, and much less stressful.
How can I tell if my mover is BAR accredited?
Look for companies that are members of the British Association of Removers (BAR). This respected organisation holds its members to strict industry standards and carries out regular audits. Choosing a BAR-registered company gives you added protection, including access to a free complaints resolution service if needed. You can verify membership at www.bar.co.uk.
Do I have to pay for a removals survey?
No, White & Company offers a comprehensive home survey completely free of charge, with no obligation. After the survey, we’ll provide a clear written quote. We also recommend obtaining at least one other quote to compare costs and services, so you can make an informed decision.
Do I need to pay in advance for removal services?
Yes, payment is usually required before moving day. This is standard among BAR-accredited companies. When you book with White & Company, your advance payment is fully protected by the Advanced Payment Guarantee (APG), so you can rest easy knowing your money is safe.
Do you offer packing services?
Absolutely. Our professional packing service is available for any move, whether local, national or overseas. We use high-quality materials and label all boxes clearly to ensure your belongings stay protected and organised during the move.
Can you help with moves across the UK?
Yes, we cover the whole of the UK, from the tip of Cornwall to the Highlands of Scotland. No matter the distance, our expert team ensures your move is seamless, secure, and well-coordinated. Learn more about long-distance moves on our website.
Can White & Company handle international removals?
We certainly can, and have been helping customers move overseas for decades. From Europe to destinations across the globe, our international removals service takes care of logistics and customs, helping to ease the stress of relocating abroad. Visit our Moving Abroad page or call our Knaresborough office on 01423 594536 for tailored advice.
Can you transport pets as part of my move?
Unfortunately, we don’t move pets. Relocating animals requires specialist carriers and legal documentation, so we recommend using a professional pet relocation service. These experts are trained to ensure your pet’s comfort and safety throughout the journey.
What’s the best way to reduce moving costs?
Decluttering before your move is one of the simplest ways to save money. Fewer items mean fewer boxes, shorter loading times, and lower transport costs. It also helps you settle into your new home more quickly, especially if you’re downsizing.
When should I book my move?
We recommend booking your removals service 4 to 6 weeks ahead of your moving date. During busier months, like summer, even more notice—up to 8 weeks—is ideal. The earlier you book; the better chance you’ll secure your preferred slot.
Can I store my belongings during my move?
Yes, White & Company offers short- and long-term storage solutions to keep your belongings safe and secure while you transition to your new home. Our facilities are monitored and fully insured, giving you peace of mind during every stage of your move.
What if something gets damaged during the move?
We take every precaution to protect your belongings. However, in the rare event that damage does occur, we’ll guide you through our claims process promptly and fairly. As BAR members, we follow strict standards for accountability and customer care.
