Choosing a removals company in London can feel overwhelming. Reputable movers exist—you need to know what to ask. Removal reviews, insurance, access assessments, and clear pricing matter. This guide explains what to ask a removal company and the red flags to avoid when booking your house removal or man and van.
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.
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.
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 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.
