We will contact you a few days before your move, just to check that everything is going as planned, hopefully you're almost ready?

6. It's moving day

When we arrive, we will have a quick look around the property to plan ahead for loading. We usually start with bigger items first, then lighter items on top. Once loaded, we will check that everything is properly secured before making a move to your new address.


If you have a few extra bits here and there, don't worry we will add them to the inventory list, an extra few minuets is not likely to affect the price.

Moving home - Before You Request a Quote

 Please provide as much information as possible so we can give you an accurate quotation.

For most standard home removals, completing our quotation form is quicker than arranging a home visit. It helps us keep our costs down and offer you the best possible price.

If you require packing, dismantling and reassembly, or another bespoke removal service, please contact us. If your property is local, we may be able to arrange a home visit. You can also call us, and we’ll help you complete the quotation request over the phone.


Multiple collection addresses


If we will be collecting from more than one property:

  • Enter all collection addresses in the “Full address you are moving from” section.
  • Create a separate inventory list for each property, clearly labelled “Address 1,” “Address 2,” and so on.

Access and parking


Please provide accurate information about parking and access at every collection and delivery address, including:

  • How close the van can park to the property
  • Any stairs, steps or lifts
  • Long walking distances
  • Narrow doorways, hallways or entrances
  • Parking restrictions or permits

Access can significantly affect how long a removal takes. For example, moving items from an apartment with distant parking, long corridors and a lift will take considerably longer than moving the same items between two properties with driveway access.


Your inventory


List every large item that will not be packed inside a box. The easiest way is to walk through each room and record all furniture, appliances and other large belongings.

Please remember to include items stored in gardens, sheds, garages, lofts and other storage areas, such as:

  • Televisions, mirrors, large pictures and artwork
  • Large plants, plant pots and ornaments
  • Tools and DIY equipment
  • Children’s large toys and bicycles
  • Garden furniture and outdoor equipment

Please describe items as accurately as possible. For example:

  • “Three-seater sofa” or “corner sofa” rather than simply “sofa”
  • “American-style fridge freezer” rather than “fridge”
  • “King-size ottoman bed with mattress,” “double divan bed” or “single metal bed frame” rather than simply “bed”

These details are important because different items require very different amounts of space in the van.


Additional information


Please also tell us:

  • Which items require dismantling and rebuilding
  • Whether any appliances need disconnecting or reconnecting
  • The approximate number of boxes and bags
  • About any particularly heavy, fragile, valuable or awkward items
  • Anything else that may affect the removal

Please attach photographs where available, particularly of large items, access points and parking arrangements.

We may contact you if we need further information before providing your quotation.

Where appropriate, we may be able to remove and refit doors or other simple fixtures to create enough space. This should be discussed beforehand so we can assess the access and work required.
