We feel it is important that you know exactly what your moving costs will be upfront with no nasty surprises. Our surveyor will conduct a detailed pre-move survey to ascertain the volume of effects being moved.
The surveyor will visit your home and note any items you want to transfer. There will also be an opportunity to discuss any special requirements or questions you may have.
Once the consultation has been carried out, a free no obligation written quotation will follow within 48 hours. Our quotation will outline exactly what is covered, as per your instructions and a price.
If you are not quite at the stage of wanting to receive a home visit you can still take advantage of our Guesstimate tool. Just complete the quick estimate form on our website to get an approximate idea of the costs involved.

Knaresborough is a quintessential Yorkshire market and spa town, located on the river Nidd about four miles east of Harrogate. Known mostly as a commuter town it shares excellent railway links to most Yorkshire cities — 10 minutes to Harrogate, 30 minutes to York and 45 minutes to Leeds.
However, to suggest it is just a place to rest your head would be to do this great town a serious injustice. From critically acclaimed gastro pubs serving the finest ale and pies to vintage tea shops, Knaresborough has boutique eateries in abundance. With plenty of crags and valleys and the Yorkshire dales only a short drive away there are no shortage of places of natural wonder to explore.
The town centre is perched on the cliffs and offers picturesque views of the imposing railway viaduct across the Nidd Gorge. Across the river is a famous thermal spring with such high mineral levels that its dripping waters literally turn dangling objects to stone.
Property prices are affordable too for the luxury of countryside living with plenty of different options ranging from period properties, vintage cottages to pleasant suburb developments. There are also plenty of excellent choices for sending your kids to school with Aspin park recently declared ‘Outstanding’ by Ofsted.
Knaresborough is governed by the local town council. For local matters it is worth checking www.knaresboroughtowncouncil.gov.uk to find the most up to date information regarding:
Dustbin & recycling collection dates
Council tax
Planning Applications
Disability issues
The town has a small tourism industry and its largest event is the annual Great Knaresborough Bed Race, which recently celebrated its 50th anniversary. Participants are given a theme each year and decorate themselves and their beds before racing through the town.
It is also home to England’s oldest attraction, Mother Shipton’s Cave, an eerie cave once home to an eccentric prophetess.
If you are planning a day out, there is plenty to do in and around, including the following
