How our services take the stress out moving home

We are recommended by a number of local professionals including Estate Agents and Storage facilities

How do I choose a removal company for my house move?

So you are ready to start thinking about choosing which removal company to use, but have some concerns. We have listed 5 things for customers to consider when choosing the right removal company.

We have received lower quotes

So you have received a lower price for your move. The first thing to check is are the quotations like for like? Have the lower quotes been carried out in person? The key to a stress-free move is correctly understanding the volume to move. By coming out in person, we can clearly identify the volume to move, how many vehicles and staff will be needed, access at property and what equipment may be needed (sofa covers, hanging clothing cartons etc). Also as a reputable company we are required to charge VAT (as most, if not all proper removal companies should). So if cost is the main factor in choosing, ensure the quotes are like-for-like and that the lower quote understands the job fully and there are no hidden charges.

Number of vehicles for the move

Every move is different, so when visiting to quote for your move we will calculate how many of our vehicles are required. For moves of a larger volume, we usually attend the day (or even earlier if agreed) before and load less essential items (garage, shed, spare rooms, unused furniture etc) into our storage, so that on your move day you have a manageable volume to move. This is particularly important where you are in a sale and purchase chain as you will need to vacate your property by 1pm, so do not want too much to do in the morning.

We do not know our moving date so do not want to commit

How do you book a removal company when you do not know when you are moving house? We work with our customers by keeping in touch along the journey. We are used to dates changing constantly and keep in discussion with our customers about are availability and their preferred dates. This is why we do not charge non-refundable deposits, we try and be as flexible as possible. If you accept our quotation, we can keep in touch and arrange packing materials etc without needing a firm booking.

Moving house is expensive, we could hire a van and move ourselves

We understand that moving house is expensive with all the various fees you have to pay, but the removal is an area that should not be overlooked. You need your entire lifetime possessions safely transported to your new home, we believe this is worth investing in. Hiring a van is a cost-effective alternative if you do not have any deadlines (if you have an overlap in rental dates, or you are going from storage perhaps), but it is not always the right choice. If you are in a chain of properties buying and selling then it is unlikely you will have access to both homes at the same time which means you cannot make numerous trips back and forward. You need to fully vacate your home before you get the keys to your new home. Most households will not get everything into one hired van so this can cause problems. You also reduce the risk of damage, injury and stress by employing professionals to do the job.

Who to trust? There are lots of removal companies near me, how do we choose?

You see lots of recommendations on Facebook, have various flyers through the door, but how do you choose? Some common things to look out for in a reputable removal company are:

Clean, smart sign-written vehicles - Removal vehicles are the main part of a removal company’s service, so should be well maintained and be smart and equipped with blankets, ties, furniture covers, sack trucks etc. We have our company details all over our vehicles as we are proud of the service we offer and want to promote this.

Limited, registered company - Are they registered with Companies House? Do they have a company number and VAT number? Whilst this is not a clear indication of quality, it does show they follow the correct legislation. Also, do they have a landline phone number and a professional website?

Insurance - It is very common to see ‘fully insured’ mentioned by removal companies. Every removal company should have Goods-in-Transit insurance, this covers your belongings for damage whilst being moved. Do not be afraid to ask for a copy of the insurance. They should also have Public Liability insurance and obviously vehicle insurance. It is very common for companies to have van insurance which doesn’t cover ‘hire and reward’, so effectively if anything happened then your goods would not be covered. We have full insurance for our removal services and will happily provide documents if required.

Payment terms - Do they have company bank details, do they take card payments? If someone is asking for cash payment as their preferred method, this should raise concerns of the integrity of the company. We accept payment via Bank Transfer or Debit/Credit card.

How do we protect your belongings when moving you?

Have you moved before and experienced damage to your belongings and property? Have you seen photos on social media of a mattress being leant on the wet floor with no cover on? Empire Removals understand that you will want your personal effects carefully looked after, which is why we have invested in a range of equipment so you can relax knowing your favourite piece of artwork, or that expensive mattress will arrive in your new home in the same condition it left. See below some examples of the equipment we use.

We believe that removals is the most important part of your moving home journey. You are asking a company to arrive at your property and completely empty your home of your entire life’s possessions. Not only this, but they also need to be carefully packed and safely transported to your new home. We do not think this should be taken lightly, why would you cut costs on this hugely important part of the move process. The importance of having a professional experienced removal company can not be understated.
