We offer enhanced liability cover for a nominal cost (on a per £1000 cover required basis). A lot of smaller removal companies have goods in transit policies, these are very inferior methods of insurance and often incur high excesses. Our liability cover has NO excess and is a professional removers policy.
An average 3 bedroom removal can take from 3 to 7 hours. Beware of some removal companies that charge by the hour, they take as long as they can to get as much as they can out of you. If we offer an hourly rate, we work at the same speed whether you’re paying by the hour or fixed price.
If we have included boxes in with your quotation, the boxes are yours to keep forever. We supply flat packed carboard boxes that you can write on if you wish. All that we ask is that you recycle them when you have finished with them, i.e. carboard recycling facility or pass them on to a friend that is moving etc. We can collect your boxes from you once you have finished with them, please contact us when you`re ready for them to be collected.
