No, it’s part of our core service.

Of course!

Basic furniture such as tables and shelves are included free of charge. More complicated and heavy furniture such as bunk beds and wardrobes are charged extra.

For the most part on the moving day.

If there is an unusually high number of items that need to be dismantled then we might do it the day before.

Storage

Yes, we provide storage services at our facility.

Our minimum is one week. We don’t have a maximum. Please call us to find out more.

We’re not a fixed-term storage provider. If you need a week, two, a month, or longer we can help.

No, we are not that type of storage service. Our storage services are reserved for our customers who also use our moving services.

Packing

Yes! We offer a fully-fledged packing service. We also offer a fragile packing service.

Unless special arrangements have been made it will generally be a day before your move.

Yes! We can provide you with free packing boxes and wardrobe boxes for your move.

We will provide you with packing boxes after your booking is confirmed and a short time before your moving day.

If you require packing boxes in advance, earlier than one week before your moving date, please contact us to discuss.

This depends on the booking and circumstances. We will either deliver them or you can collect them from us. Please email us at info@bestratedremovals.co.uk for more information.

We can’t provide this. You would need to purchase them yourself. We recommend WHSmith locally or online at Amazon.

Appliance Connections / Reconnections

No.

The reason is that we are not certified plumbers and our insurance does not cover this.

No.

We are not to do this and our insurance does not cover this.

Protecting Your Property

We will protect your property and leave it in the same condition.

We do a few different things to ensure your property is protected (moving from and moving into):

  • Protecting your front door.
  • Protecting any hard floors.
  • Protecting your carpets.
  • Protecting all banisters.

Day Of Moving

For the most part we start moves early at between 8am to 8:30am. Please check your booking confirmation email for me information.
It reallyu depends on the size of your property. A small flat might take four hours. A large five bedroom home might be a 10 hour job.

If you have a strict deadline of 12 noon to be out of your property as the new owner is moving in the same day we can work with you on this.

We need to be made aware of this beforehand. But, we generally can cater to this requirement as we will allocate enough staff and trucks to make sure you’re out by the deadline.

International Moves

No, we can’t. We can move you anywhere in the UK. But not abroad.

Office Moves

Yes! We do all kinds of office moves from small family offices all the way to large 100+ seat offices.

Insurance

Yes! Our quotes include good in-transit insurance.

Yes, it is. Our quotes include public liability insurance.

The move was for my boyfriend. The guys were very efficient. They planned every aspect of the operation including how to access the properties and the best methods of moving furniture. The floors were covered and the furniture had protective covers put on. The team were very attentive - always asking questions and directions. All in all a very professional and excellent value for money service.

Amazingly quick service, everything wrapped and moved carefully. Lovely to see foot protectors worn to protect carpets also. Before anything was started all the banisters were covered and even the door. I felt in safe hands as soon as the guys arrived. Questions asked at every step to make sure furniture was placed where we wanted. Very polite and respectful. Highly recommended.

They turned up on time and were fast but careful. They did the move in 2 stages which makes it much easier. The guys were very responsive and made it so easy. They even put stuff I to store in the right order to make it easier to move next time! I cannot recommend them highly enough. 10/10.

The removal was brilliant from start to finish. Great contact beforehand to arrange everything and explain how to prepare, and then on the day everything about the move was very well organised and ran very smoothly. Instructions were very clear and questions always asked to ensure items went where we wanted them. We were very happy with the professional and efficient service provided and would highly recommend.

I contacted this company in a slight panic, I had to decommission a unit with little notice, to my surprise I was able to get next day removals booked in. Lucas and the team turned up in plenty of time and organised everything from start to finish, they really have saved me. Thank you Lucas and the team - I will certainly be using you again!
