Ask movers to survey the load and access. Packing, storage and dismantling should be included only when they are part of the service you need.

Key checks for removal company

  • List fragile and bulky items.
  • Check goods protection and exclusions.
  • Agree the plan if access or moving dates change.

Arrange an accurate load assessment

Give the mover an inventory and explain access at both properties. Mention large furniture, fragile goods, stairs, lifts and parking. Ask how an incomplete survey or a later change in the load affects the quotation rather than assuming the van size settles the price.

Check protection and moving-day changes

Read the goods-protection terms and exclusions, and confirm packing responsibilities. Ask what happens if keys are delayed or a date changes. Keep the agreed inventory and service list with the booking so extra packing, waiting or storage can be identified separately.

Before you book or buy

  • List fragile and bulky items.
  • Check goods protection and exclusions.
