What does it cost to move house?

The price depends entirely on the property sizes, contents and distances between the two properties. We can quote an hourly rate for 3 bed property or smaller. Our customers tell us that our prices are very competitive.

How do I get a quote and is it free?

You just need to call us on 0114 438 6958 or email us [email protected] or complete our contact form to arrange for a free home survey with no obligation.

Is it necessary to have a home survey done?

No, you can get a quote without a survey, but you will need to provide us with as much information as you can, such as how many items you have and what type they are, the type of house you are moving from and to, number of floors and any unusual access requirements.

Can we book a moving date provisionally?

We will provisionally book your removal but if we get a firm booking later we will advise you that the date is no longer available.

How much notice do you need for a removal?

Usually 7-10 days notice is adequate for booking a house removal, but the more notice you can give the better.

Are you insured?

What do you use to protect furniture?

Do you protect the carpets?

We always make sure carpets are well protected.

How long does it take for a house removal?

This will depend on the size of the house and the number of items of course, but on average it takes between 4 hours for say a one bedroom house to 9 hours or so for a four bedroom house.

Do I need to empty my drawers?

For safety reasons and to make sure there is no damage, drawers in large furniture must be emptied. Drawers in smaller furniture can be left in, depending on the contents, especially if they are breakable.

I am only moving a short distance, does that reduce the price?

Short distance removals have little effect on the time it takes to move a house. The loading and unloading of the vans is the time consuming part of removals.  Our customers tell us that our prices are very competitive.

Waiting time is the time between when we arrive at your new house and when you get access to the keys.
