People searching for a low figure often receive quotes that are not for the same job. The way to compare them is to read what is written down. This page is that checklist. Services we offer are on Harrogate removals.
The list and the buildings
A quote should name both addresses, the floors, and whether there is a lift. It should reflect the rooms or the inventory you sent. If you added a garage, a loft or a piano, those words should appear. If they do not, the figure is for a smaller job than the one you think you booked.
Access belongs on the quote too. A long carry, a flight of stairs or a van that cannot stop outside will change the time. Photos you sent should have been taken into account. Parking suspensions, if you need them, are between you and North Yorkshire Council. The quote can note that you are arranging them.
What is extra
Look for packing, dismantling, unpacking and any second stop. If those words are missing, do not assume they are free. Materials, waiting time and rubbish disposal should be explicit. Insurance should be mentioned. On our work, insurance is provided, and you should still ask what is covered.
The quote should say how long it stays valid. Ours stay valid for 3 months, which matters when a chain slips. It should say it is without obligation until you accept it.
How to ask
Send a room list, not “three-bed house”. Mention the awkward pieces. Use our house removals page as the description of a full home, then get a free quote. A rough sense of the factors, with no made-up total, is on the moving cost calculator.
We quote moves in Pannal, Bilton and Knaresborough on the same basis as the rest of the area.
