What to Ask a Removal Company

Before booking, ask about insurance (goods-in-transit and public liability), experience, and equipment. Do they do an access assessment? Reputable movers will ask about stairs, lifts, parking, and difficult items. Quotes without these questions are a red flag—the final price may jump.

Check Removal Reviews

Removal reviews on Trustpilot, Google, and Checkatrade help you compare. Look for consistent themes: punctuality, care, communication. A few negative reviews among many positives are normal; patterns of complaints about damage or hidden fees are not.

Insurance and Accreditation

Verify goods-in-transit and public liability insurance. £50k cover is common. For high-value items or piano moving, ask about specialist cover. Trade body membership (e.g. BAR) is a good sign.

Access Surveys for Accurate Quotes

Access surveys are essential for accurate quotes. Stairs, narrow doors, lifts, and parking affect the job. A company that quotes without asking about access may add charges later. Describe your property fully when getting a quote.
