Whether it’s for local domestic removals or international moves, we provide a hands-off experience, allowing you to focus on other aspects of your move.

Each move we undertake comes with a minimum liability cover of £25,000 as standard. Should the contents that we are moving exceed that amount further liability cover can easily be arranged prior to the move. This covers any contents of boxes that we have packed and all of your furniture/pictures/paintings. Please note that boxes that the client has packed can only be insured for total loss only as we cannot guarantee the way in which they have been packed. We also as standard provide insurance for the building we are working in against accidental damage.
