Packing up and moving home or office can be one of the most stressful jobs you will undertake in your lifetime. There’s a myriad of considerations, and one of the most important things to get right is the choice of furniture removalists and storage services.

You will need to carefully consider the scope of the job and what aspects of the job you will need a furniture removals company to look after, and what you will be able to do yourself. When obtaining a quote for the job, it is important that you understand which aspects of the job are covered in the quote and which aspects of the job may incur further fees, additional to the quote. However, to make this easier you can simply tell us about your needs and we will connect you with the 3 most suited businesses. So, head straight to our quotes page and let the magic begin!

Make all of the requirements of the job clear to the removalist before agreeing to a quote. Some furniture removal companies will provide a packing, wrapping and boxing service, others will not. Some removalists will charge extra if their workers have to carry items up or downstairs. Extra costs may be incurred for items that are considered delicate or awkward, such as pianos, where specialist equipment may have to be bought in to move them.

Should you require storage services, it is common for the removalist company to also provide access to a storage facility. When obtaining a quote for storage be aware of costs such as security bond, access fees and short and long-term variances in price. If the removalist does not offer storage services, you will need to consider self-storage, whereby a separate quote will need to be sought and a further layer of coordination between services negotiated.
