Removals FAQ

We are based in Loughton and mainly cover the Greater London area & Essex on Day-to-Day basis, however, we do offer a 'long-distance' UK service as well as EU destinations.

All house moves are different, based on your removals quote enquiry form we will either issue you with an initial estimate so you can see how much it would cost by using our service. We will call you to arrange a survey (which usually takes between 15 – 30 minutes). We will provide you a quote.

We do. If you pack your own boxes, then the contents are not insured during your move. We provide different levels of Packing Services, ranging from a Fragile Pack, all the way through to a Full Packing Service and Unpacking Service. Discuss your Packing needs with your Move Manager and they will work it into your move plan.

By prior arrangement the moving team can dismantle most types of furniture and rebuild it at the other end – this will be charged as a separate service. Please be aware some modern flat packed furniture is not built to be dismantled and rebuilt, sometimes when the furniture is dismantled it does not rebuild as solidly when first built. You will be informed if there is any risk to your furniture.

Usually the removal men will try and carry the whole unit, so no need to empty the drawers. However if the unit is too heavy then the men will remove the drawers, carry the unit onto the vehicle then replace the drawers. In preparation, you will need to check to see if the drawers will fit out of the house without being dismantled, and also to see if the drawers can be removed. If so, then you will need to empty the drawers. Please also ensure that any items left in drawers are not breakable (as sometimes the drawers have to be placed on its end to get around corners).

The movers are not insured to disconnect washing machines, or dishwashers. However, if you are struggling to loosen the connectors they can loosen them for you, but you will have to unscrew, then tighten up at the other end. They can not be responsible for any leaks caused.

Depending on the type of move – if your move is local and to be completed the same day then it is not necessary to defrost the freezer (it is best to use cooler bags for your food). If your move is to be completed over a number of days or is going into storage then you MUST defrost the freezer. If this is not done, then the movers can not accept any liability for any damage which may occur.

There is an exclusion within the policy to carry jewellery or valuables. Prior to packing your boxes please read what can not be moved in our terms and conditions.
