Removals
A family firm that visits your home first, then moves you locally or anywhere in the UK.
Home removals
Moving house can be stressful, so we start with a consultation at your home. We answer your questions, check access to the property, spot awkward areas such as tight hallways or stairs, and see exactly what needs moving.
Your free home visit
One of the team walks round with you. It usually takes no more than an hour. We’ll ask to see:
Your quote follows the visit.
Business removals
A business move needs more planning before and after the day itself. We plan around your working hours and your timescales, so day-to-day work carries on.
Relocating outside office hours is usually the least disruptive option, so your business keeps running.
If the move has to happen during office hours, we work to your timetable with as little disruption as possible.
Need to leave before your new premises are ready? We can store your furniture, records and archives in the meantime.
Pianos, antiques and fine art
From an upright piano to a concert grand, plus antique and fine art removals, each planned around how the piece is wrapped, carried and loaded.
Mention them at your home visitPoint out any special-care items, so we can plan the extra packaging and handling they need.

From what we see at your home visit: the volume of goods, any special-care items, access and transport, packing or unpacking, and any extra services you ask for.
Yes, a move at the weekend costs slightly more.
If you’re completing a sale on moving day, find out when the keys will be available. Delays getting in can make the move take longer, and waiting for keys may incur an extra charge.
As early as you can. We can provisionally book a date and agree the exact day nearer the time. School and seasonal holidays are our busiest periods, so confirm early if you’re moving then.
A charge may apply if a provisional date isn’t confirmed within a reasonable time.
We can’t always see your new property, so we rely on what you tell us: parking and narrow lanes, low bridges, long paths, which floor an apartment is on, and obstacles such as low doors, narrow hallways or spiral staircases.
Yes. If your moving-out and moving-in dates don’t match, we can keep your belongings in our store in Alnwick. Mention it at your home visit, or read about storage.
