Step 1: Booking your survey
First things first. Before you do anything, you should book a survey with us so we can give you a clear and accurate quote for your move. Booking a survey means we can see exactly how many rooms your house has, what needs to be moved, and check the size or delicacy of some of your items that might need special attention. There are a couple of ways for us to chat with you about your move:
- In-person: One of our team will visit you at your home, or
- Online: You can share your videos or photos with us
You can book your survey by completing the form, emailing us or calling us using the details on our Contact page. Once your survey is scheduled with a date and time, we’ll send a confirmation email with all the details to keep everything on track.
Step 2: Getting your quote
During your house survey, we’ll move with you from room to room, taking notes on the furniture that needs to be moved. We’ll also take into account any special requirements needed for large, bulky, or fragile items. Whatever you have, we’ll include it so you can look forward to a smooth, hassle-free house move on the day.
Once the survey is complete, we’ll take the information back to the office to prepare a detailed quote that’s customised for you and your move. The quote will include all the information you need alongside the total cost and deposit terms, so there are no hidden surprises. We’ll then email this to you for your records. If you’re happy, contact us, and we’ll book you in.
Step 3: Your moving day
Moving day is here! Now is when the magic happens, and our expert team move your possessions from old home to new with care, maximum efficiency, and minimal fuss. Here’s what you can expect during a typical moving day:
