Frequently Asked Questions

We recommend getting quotes 6–8 weeks before your planned move date, and booking once your exchange date is confirmed. During peak periods like summer months, end of month, and school holidays, companies can get booked up quickly, so earlier is always better.

All companies in the Moving Merchant network are required to hold Goods in Transit insurance and Public Liability insurance before we list them. Always confirm the level of cover and any excess before booking, especially for high-value items.

Key factors include: property size (volume of items), distance between properties, access and parking at each address, whether you need packing services, and your move date. Midweek moves are typically 10–15% cheaper than Fridays or Saturdays.

Many removal companies offer storage solutions for situations where there's a gap between leaving and entering a property. Storage is usually charged per week or month and will be quoted separately. Let companies know when submitting your quote request.

Tipping is not expected but is always appreciated for a job well done. A common gesture is £10–£20 per crew member, particularly for complex moves or exceptionally good service. Providing refreshments during the day is also a kind touch.
