What hours do you work?
Although our office may be shut outside normal hours, our vehicles and staff work 7 days a week, 24 hours a day when necessary.
Do you subcontract your work?

Are you accredited?
BAR logoYes. We are members of the British Association of Removers and follow the TSI Code of Practice.

How much notice do I need?
It’s normally two weeks between exchange and completion. We do advise, however, arranging for our surveyor to call at your earliest convenience to ensure everything is in place so that, when you do get a date of completion, we are just a phone call away. We also advise booking your removal as early as possible to guarantee getting booked in on your preferred dates.
How do I pay?
We accept all major cards and bank transfers are also acceptable. Cheques will have to be cleared before moving day.
How do I raise a complaint?
Naturally, our priority is to ensure all our customers are happy with the service we provide. If you have any cause for complaint we suggest that you first raise any issues directly with us, either with the removal staff on the day of your move, or via our office. We will do everything we can to deal with the matter straight away. In the unlikely event that you are still not satisfied with our response, you can contact the British Association of Removers, of which we are members, by calling their Consumer Affairs Department on 01923 699 486.
