Moving home can be stressful for some; your moving day itself brings a host of worries. Using a removal company that you can trust is vital. That is why we have our written standards in place.

The standards for ‘Furniture removal activities’ are designed to protect our customers at every stage of their move, from packing and removals to dispute resolution.

Key Takeaways

  • Clear, written plan + quote up front: expect a written quotation that spells out exactly what’s included (services, costs, declared value/insurance info, and T&Cs), plus a move acceptance/contract once you sign.

  • Professional crew with proper kit: trained/punctual staff (with a supervising foreman), suitable vehicles and protective equipment, plus quality packing materials and protective wrapping/blankets/straps to keep items safe in transit.

  • Checks and aftercare if anything goes wrong: you should be able to inspect items before they leave, sign a completion sheet, and get a clear process for resolving issues/claiming compensation—plus a feedback request after the move.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do we have these standards in place?

Not all removal companies have written standards in place to ensure that customers are looked after before, during or after the move.

At Movingeverywhere, we believe that our standards will ensure that the quality assured service you will receive will make your move

Our purpose is to ensure that during the whole move process, you are looked after and fully understand what will happen on the day of your move.

We will work to the agreed plan to ensure that your move is completed as per your expectations.

Will I receive a contract?

All our moves require a contract prior to handling of your effects. This protects you as once the contract has been agreed and confirmed. This ensures that your removal team will arrive on the agreed move date, unless you change the move date in writing. This ensures that you do not have to worry about the removal company not turning up.

Will I receive a receipt for my payment?

Payment is due in advance of the move. You will receive a receipt via email confirming your payment.

What packing materials are available?

All our packing materials are removals industry quality and fit for purpose. We can provide you with new packing boxes or recycled packing boxes.

Who collects all of the rubbish and the stuff that I want out of the house, but NOT taken to the new house?

We use a company called Envirecycle, which, for a fee that is paid separately by the house mover, will responsibly dispose of all rubbish and waste. They are established and registered and we have been using them in Surrey of over 1o years. Their prices are here.

Who will be my point of contact?

You will have your own removals coordinator who will look after all pre-move arrangements, and will also be available either by phone or in person on the day of the move. If not in person, then you will be introduced to the team foreman and the movers upon their arrival.

What happens if I am not happy during the move?

Sometimes, during a move, you may have a query or need to report an issue. You will need to speak with the team foreman or your removal coordinator who will look to resolve your issues promptly.

How can I leave feedback about our move?

1 week after your move, we will issue you with a “house removals feedback form” where you can leave your comments. There are also many house removal review sites where you can leave a review, we can provide you with a list of the more popular review sites.
