    REMOVE THE STRESS OF MOVING

Why Choose A Professional Removal Company?

Having helped people move locally and from gathering their feedback, we have learnt a thing or two about the benefits of hiring a removal company. According to our customers, almost every time, they said their removal company saved them time and stress - particularly when it came to packing and heavy lifting.

Omni Removals and the removal companies we partner with not only have expert knowledge on how to pack fragile items, but also the knowledge on how to do things safely and use any and all essential protective equipment.

Why Choose?

How To Choose A Removal Company

Once you've decided that you're going to partner with a removal company in your area, it's up to you to decide which company you're going to use. Here is what you should look out for:

#1 Check Customer Reviews: We collect customer feedback so that you can see the company's impartial and unfiltered reviews on their profile. You can get an idea of how they performed on previous jobs as well as get a feel for their company and who they are.

#2 Ask about other services: We highlight any extra removal sevices that they offer on their profile page, but it's still important to talk to the company about what they need. Extra services that our partners offer include packing services, storage services and furniture dismantling.

#3 Check if they offer a pre-move survey: A pre-move survey is vital when it comes to getting an accurate removal quote, so be sure to check that they provide this. Many of the companies that we partner with offer a free video or in-person pre-move survey.

#4 Ask about cost: Ask the removal company about their preferred method of paymentbefore the move. Trusted removal companies will let you pay with card or by cheque.

How To Choose?

What is the average cost of removals in the UK?

Removal costs can vary based on factors such as the distance between properties, the location, and any additional services required but our data shows the average cost to be around £1044. This is the average price that our customers get quoted. On top of their removals, our partners also offer additional services, such as a packing service or furniture dismantling service.

It's always important to discuss all costs with your chosen removal company so there's no chance of any hidden fees during the moving process. Compare My Move's service allows you to compare up to 6 quotes from national and local movers so this should help you get the best deal for your move.

What Is The Cost?

When should I get removals quotes?

You should aim to get your free no-obligation quotes once you know your completion date. If you can work out a rough date of when you’ll need a removal company, you can start getting quotes even earlier.

Comparing quotes from a range of removal companies in advance of your move will help to avoid disappointment. Many moving companies get booked up early on, especially if it’s during peak season.

Whether you need a full removals service or are looking for small removals, getting online removal quotes in good time will keep you on track for a smooth move. For further help on when to book services, read our Moving House Checklist.
