The cost for removals and storage will depend on your unique moving situation. You can get a fixed, accurate quote for your move in 3 simple steps:
1. Book a FREE pre-move survey so we can assess your individual requirements.
2. Show our Move Consultant everything you want to move and provide a few details about your properties.
3. We'll provide your quote by email, usually within 24 hours.
To help you understand more about pricing for your move, here are some of the things that can affect your Removals Quote.
Commonly known as the 'volume', the quantity of items you need to move is one of the biggest factors affecting your quote as it determines:
To find out your volume we'll normally ask you to arrange a pre-move survey.
Some items need a bit of extra love and care to ensure they get to their new home safe and sound.
For instance, we might use a custom crate for a cherished painting, special wrapping for your grandfather clock, special equipment for your grand piano, or even an outside elevator to move things through a window.
The distance between your homes will affect how much time we need to allow for the journey and how much fuel we'll need.
If you're moving long distance we may also need to include for our staff to stay nearby overnight if your move can't be completed in a day and they are a long way from home.
Some customers also ask us to make an additional collection or delivery as part of their move, for example from a self-storage facility or second home.
You can do your own packing and we can handle just the loading, transport and unloading, or we can help you with some or all of the packing too. Your choice of service level will affect the time, staff and materials required for your move so it affects our price too.
You can also ask us to deliver packing materials ahead of move day if you want to do your own packing.
Is there parking close to the front door for our removal lorry? Are there any low bridges or narrow lanes we'll need to navigate? Are internal corridors and stairwells big enough to accommodate us carrying your furniture through?
None of these challenges are a problem but they will affect the size of the vehicle we will need to use and the time it will take us to load and unload, so may affect your move costs.
If you want us to book parking permits or dispensation (for streets with restricted parking) this may also be included in your cost.
Will any items need to be dismantled or taken down before moving day? Our crews can do this for you as part of the move. We even offer a handyman service for more complex items like trampolines.
If you need any of these services we'll include them in our quote so you know the extra time and expertise is covered.
A bit like foreign holidays WHEN you move can also affect pricing (although thankfully not such a big variation!).
Peak seasons like school holidays can be slightly more expensive than other periods.
