How to Choose Reliable Movers for Your Next Move
Choosing the right removals and storage company can be daunting, whether you’re selling your home, relocating to a new house or office, or seeking temporary storage during renovation. It’s essential to choose experienced and careful movers who handle packing and relocation with precision and attention to detail to protect your belongings. Equally important, their storage services should be secure, transparent and flexible, allowing you to adjust storage size as your needs change.
However, with numerous moving and storage companies available, how do you select the most trustworthy and reliable house movers and storage providers?
HERE ARE 6 KEY POINTS FOR PICKING RELIABLE HOUSE MOVERS AND STORAGE PROVIDERS
1. CHECK THEIR EXPERIENCE AND REPUTATION
- Look for companies with a long track record and plenty of positive reviews on trusted sites like Google, Trustpilot, or the British Association of Removers (BAR) website.
- Ask friends, family, or your estate agent for recommendations.
- Be wary of companies with many negative reviews or unresolved complaints.
2. LOOK FOR PROFESSIONALISM AND COMMUNICATION
- Assess their professionalism from your first contact. Are they friendly, helpful, and do they respond promptly?
- A reputable company will have a professional website with clear service descriptions.
- Look for uniformed and trained staff.
- They should be open and transparent about their services, policies, and credentials.
3. LICENSING AND INSURANCE
- Crucial: Ensure the company is properly licensed and insured. For moves within the UK, check if they are members of the BAR, which signifies adherence to a Code of Practice and offers a Payment Guarantee Scheme.
- Ask for proof of their insurance policy, specifically covering goods in transit and in storage, to understand what is covered in case of damage or loss. Don’t just take their word for it; ask for a copy.
- Be cautious if they claim “all goods are covered” without specifying the type or limits of coverage. Basic coverage (Released Value Protection) is often minimal. Look for companies offering Full Value Protection.
4. TRANSPARENT PRICING AND ESTIMATES
- Insist on a detailed, written quote after an in-person survey of your home and belongings. Avoid companies that give vague estimates over the phone or online without seeing your items.
- The quote should clearly break down all costs, including transport fees, packing services (if needed), insurance coverage, and any potential extra charges (e.g., for stairs, long-distance moves, or specialist items like pianos).
- Be suspicious of unusually low quotes, as they may hide additional fees.
- Understand the difference between binding and non-binding estimates. A binding estimate locks in the price, while a non-binding one can change.
5. SERVICES OFFERED
- Confirm they offer the specific services you need, such as packing, unpacking, furniture dismantling/assembly, or temporary/long-term storage.
- If you need storage, ask about the cost, location, and security of their facilities.
6. CONTRACT AND POLICIES
- Always get all agreements in writing, including the estimate, inventory list, and service terms.
- Understand their cancellation and rescheduling policies, including any associated fees.
- Ask about their policy for lost or damaged items.
- Ensure they provide you with a copy of their terms and conditions.
