Safety and Handling Standards

Safety underpins everything we do—yours, ours, and your belongings’.

  • Health and safety moving procedures: We carry out dynamic risk assessments on arrival, discuss any access issues, and agree safe lifting routes.
  • How we protect floors and walls: We use floor runners, corner protectors, banister covers, and door-jamb guards in high-traffic areas.
  • Damage prevention and insurance: Goods are wrapped and secured with moving blankets, shrink-wrap, quilted covers, and straps. We offer insurance options suitable for domestic moves; see our insurance page for what’s included and any exclusions.
  • Stairs and tight access: We plan for narrow corridors, loft ladders, and multi-storey buildings, using appropriate equipment and additional hands where needed.
  • Toolbox approach: We dismantle and reassemble furniture when required, using padded protection for components and fixings bags so nothing goes missing.

We’re careful with time as well as handling. While we don’t promise exact times, we operate an on time arrival commitment in the form of planned arrival windows and proactive updates if traffic or access affects schedule.

Customer Care and Communication

Moving can be stressful; our job is to keep it calm and predictable.

  • Clear point of contact: From enquiry to move day, you’ll have an office contact who knows your booking.
  • Detailed confirmations: We confirm the plan in writing—what’s included, arrival window, crew size, and any special instructions.
  • Transparent changes: If your inventory or access changes, we’ll adjust the plan and explain any impact on time or cost before proceeding.
  • Claims handling and resolution: If something goes wrong, we’ll investigate promptly and work with you on a fair resolution in line with our insurance terms.

  • Packaging choices: We offer recyclable cardboard boxes and can collect used boxes in good condition for reuse where feasible.

How We Work on Move Day

  1. Arrival and walk-through: The team introduces themselves, confirms the plan, and checks access routes, lifts, and parking. We identify fragile or high-value items and any items for dismantling.
  2. Protection and packing: Floors, walls, and doors are protected. We wrap and secure furniture, box loose items (if you’ve booked packing), and label by room.
  3. Loading and transport: Items are loaded in a secure sequence, with heavy pieces tied and cushioned. Vans depart once the load is checked.
  4. Unloading and placement: We place items in the correct rooms, assemble agreed furniture, and remove used materials that are reusable or recyclable.
  5. Final checks: A quick walk-through ensures everything is where you want it and any queries are answered before we leave.

Planning, Estimates, and Site Checks

Accurate planning starts with good information.

Some belongings need extra care. We regularly move:

  • Antique or delicate furniture: Gentle handling with quilted covers and soft ties.
  • Flat-pack and modular units: Dismantled and reassembled with fixings tracked.

Health and Safety Moving Procedures

Our crews follow safe manual handling techniques to reduce risk of injury or damage.

  • Team lifts for heavy or awkward items, with clear communication and spotters on stairs.
  • Weight and size checks before lifting; use of dollies, sliders, and straps to aid movement.
  • Weather awareness: Additional protection for wet or icy conditions, including extra floor protection and careful loading sequences.
  • Toolbox talks: Quick safety briefings on-site to review access, hazards, and responsibilities.

Insurance, Claims, and Peace of Mind

We believe in being upfront about cover.

  • What’s covered: We provide public liability and goods-in-transit cover suitable for household moves, with terms and limits explained before booking.
  • What’s not covered: Certain items (e.g., pre-existing damage, unboxed loose items if self-packed) may be limited or excluded. We’ll explain these clearly.
  • Claims handling and resolution: If a claim is needed, we’ll guide you through simple steps and keep you updated. Find details on our insurance page.

Our Commitment to Punctuality and Availability

We plan arrival windows based on your location and parking arrangements. While exact times can be affected by traffic or access, we’ll keep you informed and work to your preferred schedule where possible. For urgent moves, same-day options may be available depending on crew availability—ask when you enquire.

Respect for Your Home and Community

We work neatly and considerately.

  • Protection first: Runners and guards installed before lifting begins.
  • Noise awareness: Sensible communication levels, especially in flats and shared buildings.
  • Clean exit: We tidy work areas and remove reusable packing materials on request.

What We Ask From You

A smooth move is a team effort. You can help by:

  • Reserving parking or permits where needed—our parking and access guide can help.
  • Labelling boxes by room and noting fragile items.
  • Setting aside essentials (medications, documents, chargers) to travel with you.
  • Letting us know about any changes to your inventory or access as soon as possible.
