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.

We provide an award winning local & national house removals service across the whole of the UK.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are certain days of the week cheaper for removals?
While there’s no hard-and-fast rule, weekdays (especially Monday through Thursday) are often more budget-friendly because weekends are in higher demand. If you’d like a tailored quote for your chosen date, get in touch, and we’ll be happy to help.
What should I look for in a removal company?
Start by confirming that the company is accredited by a reputable organisation, such as the British Association of Removers (BAR). Membership ensures they adhere to strict industry standards, giving you added peace of mind. Beyond that, check the range of services on offer; packing, storage, and insurance options as well as online reviews from past clients.
When do I need to pay for removal services?
Most BAR-approved removal firms require payment by or just before your moving date. One benefit of choosing a BAR-accredited company is the Advanced Payment Guarantee (APG), which offers an extra layer of financial security for your fees.
Can removal companies pack my belongings?
Yes. Many professional movers, including White & Company, provide an expert packing service. Our team uses high-quality materials to protect your items and labels each box clearly, ensuring a smooth unpacking process in your new home.
Are there any items that removal companies won’t transport?
Generally, flammable substances, certain chemicals, oil-based paints, and any potentially hazardous materials are off-limits. If you’re unsure whether a specific item can be moved, just ask us for clarification—we’ll point you in the right direction.
Can I leave clothes in drawers and wardrobes?
It’s typically best to empty drawers and wardrobes to avoid damage during transit. However, for light clothing, some firms may allow you to keep them in drawers if they can be securely sealed. Ask us about the best option for your furniture.
Can you dismantle and reassemble my furniture?
Yes. We can arrange to dismantle large pieces before loading and put them back together at your new address. Simply let us know in advance, and we’ll ensure we bring the right tools and expertise.
Do you offer an unpacking service?
Many removal firms, including ours, provide unpacking services upon request. This option can save you considerable time and effort, however, just let us know if you’d like a quote for a full or partial unpacking service.
How should I handle important documents on moving day?
Keep vital paperwork such as passports, birth certificates, legal forms, etc. with you rather than packing them away in the moving van. Storing them in a clearly marked folder or bag ensures they remain easily accessible throughout the relocation.
How can I keep my moving costs down?
One of the easiest ways is to declutter beforehand. By selling, donating, or disposing of items you no longer need, you reduce the volume to be moved, saving both time and money. This process also helps you start afresh in your new home.
How far in advance should I book my move?
Aim to schedule your move at least four to six weeks in advance. If you’re planning a summer move or targeting other busy periods, you might want to lock in your date as early as eight weeks ahead to secure availability.
What if my new property isn’t ready yet?
We offer secure storage solutions if there’s a gap between moving out and moving in. Whether you need storage for a couple of weeks or a few months, rest assured your belongings will be kept safe in our purpose-built facilities.
Does my standard removal service include insurance?
White & Company like most reputable companies include basic coverage, but it’s worth double-checking what exactly is covered. If you have especially high-value or delicate items, consider additional insurance to safeguard against unforeseen circumstances.
