Why hire a professional removal company for your next move?

Many people assume they'll save money by not using a removal company, but a trusted removal company will have the expertise, qualifications and specialist equipment to safely transport even your most valuable items. You’ll also have added peace of mind knowing all our removal companies have Goods in Transit insurance and Public Liability insurance.

Removal insurance explained
As part of our verification process, every removal firm that enters our network must be fully covered with both Goods in Transit insurance and Public Liability insurance. We will always require proof of this before a company can be accepted to ensure you and your personal belongings are protected throughout the house move.
Every reputable removal company must have Goods in Transit insurance as it covers clients for any damage or losses to their personal belongings during the relocation. Public Liability insurance, however, covers the costs of injury to any member of the public, including yourself and anyone helping you move. It will often cover the cost of any damaged or lost items as well.
