Moving FAQs

We know that every move is unique and in order to provide you with an accurate quote we need to fully understand your moving requirements. There a several key factors to consider when calculation your quote:

Inventory & Volume: The more furniture and boxes, and bags the more time and resources (time, men, materials, vehicles) it will take. If you have any large or heavy items they will naturally take more time and effort to move.

- Distance between properties: the longer the distance the more time and fuel is required to travel between your properties. Moving within the same London postcode will naturally be cheaper than moving our of

- Floor levels at either side: the more stairs we have to navigate the more time and effort it takes. Every single box and furniture needs to be moved by hand or trolleys. The presence of lifts can help but if the lifts are small the move may end up taking longer.

‍- Parking at either property: this is an important factor because this also affects the time and effort required to load and unload our vehicles. If you have a drive or parking right outside your property then that is ideal. If the parking is more than 20 meters away then this would mean our moving team would have a considerable walk with each furniture items and boxes.

‍- Disassembly and Reassembly: the more items that need to be dismantled and reassembled also need to be taken into account. Disassembling and prepping a 2 door wardrobe or a Bed-Frame safely and securely could take 2 removals experts 30 mins to 1hour depending on the complexity. Reassembling on the the other side may take slightly longer as its always quicker to disassemble than to re-assemble.

‍- Additional services: Our removals quote will of course take into account any additional services you may have chosen such as packing, cleaning, and/or storage options you may have chosen.

- Other factors: Other factors that we many need to consider include congestion charging, penalty charges.

Because there are many factors involved in preparing your quote, we highly recommend performing an onsite or video home survey in order to provide you with an accurate quote.  Once we have all of the above information we can calculate how many men will be required, how long it will take them, & the size & number of vehicles required.

Parking as close to the your property is really important because if a space isn’t available for adequate parking then this will impact the time & effort it takes to complete your move. We normally require 2 car parking spaces for each of our removal vehicles. If you do not have a driveway then we highly recommend booking a parking suspension with your local council so we can park our vehicle(s) as close to your front door as possible. If you are unable to arrange a parking suspension then you can try to reserve a big enough space the night before by putting out bins, or parking your own car. Either way it is the customers responsibility to ensure that a space is made available on moving day.
