How to compare removal quotes

Give each removal company the same details so you can compare the complete service.

Prepare one inventory

List furniture, boxes, fragile items and anything stored in a loft, garage or garden. Describe dismantling and reassembly requirements. Photographs and dimensions can help a company assess awkward items.

Explain access at both properties

Include floors, lift availability, loading restrictions and the distance from the vehicle to the entrance. Tell the company whether access needs booking or permission.

Ask what the price includes

Request a written price showing tax, crew, vehicle, packing, materials, transport and unloading. Ask whether it is a fixed quote or estimate, and what circumstances could add charges.

Check cover and date changes

Ask about insurance limits, exclusions, owner-packed items, claims and cancellation terms. Confirm what happens if completion is delayed or keys arrive late.

Book directly

Check the company’s identity and contact details before paying. Your moving contract is with the company. Heywood Removals supplies planning information and is developing an introduction service; it does not carry out the move.
