Choosing Your Removal Company – Tips & Advice
Picking the right removal company is one of the most important parts of moving home – after all, your family's life is packed up in those boxes. Here are some helpful tips for choosing the right company.
Shop around – Always get at least three quotations: this gives you an idea of fair pricing and ensures you have a backup should your first choice be fully booked on your required date.
Online presence – Any reputable removal company will have an online presence. Search "house removals" plus your area on Google or Bing, shortlist a few companies, then search each company name alongside the word "reviews" to read genuine customer feedback.
Choosing the right company – Once you have a shortlist, contact each company and arrange a home survey. A survey typically takes 30–45 minutes and allows the company to calculate the cubic footage of your contents, determine van sizes, and confirm staffing requirements. It also gives you a chance to meet the team and ask any questions.
Packing and dismantling – If you require a packing or dismantling service, confirm whether your chosen company offers this and book well in advance – these services are carried out before removal day and cannot be arranged on the day itself.
Number of staff and vans – A removal van must never be left unattended – this is a basic insurance requirement. Most furniture requires two people to carry it, meaning a minimum of three staff is needed so someone is always with the van. Ensure that if multiple vans are quoted, they will all attend simultaneously, not make separate trips – multiple trips can break the property chain if keys are exchanged before all properties are clear.
You get what you pay for – The cheapest quote is not always the best choice – untrained or uninsured companies can cause costly damage. Equally, the most expensive is not automatically the best. Check social media, look for real photographs of the team at work, and read independent reviews. Beware large national companies that rely heavily on agency staff who may have little removal experience. At Vale Removals Bridgend, all staff are fully trained, our vans are checked every morning, and we use clean transit blankets, floor covers, protective door covers, mattress bags, furniture covers and flight cases for flat-screen TVs.
VAT registration – A VAT-registered company provides greater confidence – the VAT threshold is around £85,000 per year, so any company below it is either very new or carrying out very few jobs. Equally, avoid companies that insist on cash-only payments with no paperwork, as this often means no insurance cover for your belongings.
Deposits and payments – Most removal companies take a deposit at booking. Ensure any deposit is refundable or transferable should your moving date change. At Vale Removals Bridgend we do not take deposits but expect full payment five working days before your removal date. We always recommend confirming your legal completion date with your solicitor before making a firm booking.
Terms and conditions – Always request a copy of the company's terms and conditions before booking so there are no surprises on moving day. Look out for waiting-time charges if keys are delayed and any fuel surcharges. At Vale Removals there are no hidden charges.
Storage – Choosing a removal company with its own secure storage facility is a sensible precaution – property chains can and do fall through, sometimes very late in the day. An in-house storage solution means your belongings are safe regardless of what happens in the chain.
Booking – Contact your chosen removal company as early as possible once you have an idea of likely dates. Avoid Fridays where possible – they are the busiest removal day. Once dates are confirmed, stay in regular contact and don't hesitate to ask questions.
Insurance – Insurance should be standard with any removal company, but basic cover is typically around £40 per item. If your home-contents policy does not cover a house move, ask about premium transit cover – this is usually available at an additional charge.
If you have any further questions, even if you are not using our services, please feel free to contact us at any time.
If we are unable to carry out your removal due to availability or budget constraints, we will always recommend another suitable company.
