House removals
The standard residential offering. A three- or four-bedroom move where the bedroom that is half-craft-room and half-storage is the part that takes longest, and the kettle being the last thing in and first thing out is not negotiable.
House removals is the bread-and-butter category. The customer is usually a parent juggling a conveyancing chain, school dates, and the endless little decisions a family move generates. The mental model is room-by-room: the kitchen is its own logistical project (plates, glassware, the cupboard with thirty-eight pieces of Tupperware), the bedrooms are sentimentally heavy but physically straightforward, the loft is the wildcard that nobody mentions until the surveyor opens the hatch.
What changes the move's shape isn't the contents so much as the access at both ends. A wide driveway and a hallway that takes the bigger sofa is a different move from a third-floor flat with a lift that's smaller than the wardrobe. The survey is the cleanest way to size the lorry and spot the access quirks; for most full-house moves it is worth the time. For smaller homes (two-bedroom flats, single-bedroom moves where you're not taking the kitchen) photos through every room and an inventory note are usually enough.
Goods-in-transit cover applies for the full route. The lorry that loads at the old address is the same lorry that unloads at the new one; the same crew handles both ends. If the new place isn't ready, storage at either end can be quoted alongside the move itself — see the storage page for the detail.
What's included as standard.
- Loading at the old address with the same crew who quoted the move
- Transit and unloading at the new address
- Goods-in-transit cover for the full route
- Inventory check at both ends
- Disassembly and reassembly of standard furniture (beds, wardrobes, dining tables) where access requires it
Things worth flagging at booking.
- Survey timing — book the survey early enough that any access constraints (lift availability, parking permits, conservation-area restrictions) can be sorted before loading day rather than discovered on it.
- The wildcard rooms — loft, garage, shed, that cupboard under the stairs. Mention them at survey even if they don't seem like much; volume adds up.
- Packing service decision — for tight school-year timing or busy households, the packing service is the difference between finishing on schedule and not. Quoted as a separate line so you can see the cost.
