Ten ways to keep a house move simpler

A simpler move is usually a smaller, earlier, clearer one. These ten points are the ones that change the day. They are not a price list. For the day itself, see saving time on moving day.

1. Book when you have a likely date. Fridays and month ends fill first. Our quotes stay valid for 3 months.
2. Send a real inventory. A quote for “a three-bed” that hides a garage will not match the van that turns up.
3. Give away or sell what you will not use. We move what remains. Less volume is a different job.
4. Pack, or ask us to pack, before the crew is waiting. Our packing service is for the rooms you choose.
5. Do the clear-out before moving day. A tip run is not part of a standard load unless you have asked for it.
6. Choose a midweek date if your chain allows it. It is often easier to schedule than a Friday completion.
7. Photograph stairs and parking. Surprises at a Victorian stair or a residents’ bay cost time.
8. Keep one box of essentials in the car so you are not buying replacements on the first night.
9. Confirm both addresses, including a flat’s floor and lift. Access is part of the quote.
10. Read the quote and ask what is not included. Insurance is provided. Ask what is covered.

None of this is a special offer. It is how a house removal stays close to the job you described. Use the moving cost calculator only as a way to see which factors matter, then get a free quote.
