The Moving Process - Hints & Tips
From your very first enquiry you will speak with your Move Manager who, alongside your Personal Move Co-ordinator will manage the whole of your move.
Your Move Manager will arrange to visit you in your home to discuss your moving requirements, present our range of moving services and assess the volume of your belongings.
We′ll send you a personalised quote with a clear breakdown of costs and timescales for the move. This will include details of all timings, transport methods, moving services and team members.
We know you need time and space to read and compare quotes, which is why your Move Manager will always be on hand to answer any further questions you may still have.
Once you have chosen your personal moving package, your Personal Move Co-ordinator will ensure that everything runs smoothly. If required our dedicated removals team will see that everything is logically packed, secured and boxed.
On the day of the move, the removals team will guarantee a seamless delivery of your precious belongings to your new home and unpack them if you require.
If you are planning a move, our easy-to-follow moving checklist can help you plan for the big day.
