What affects the price of a removal quote?
Your removal quotes will be determined by a number of factors:
- The volume of the move (the bigger, the more expensive)
- The distance of the move (the further, the more expensive)
- The complexity of the move (the more complex, the more expensive). Complexity can be influenced by;
- How many movers are needed?
- Do you require special equipment?
- Is your house easy to access?
What is included in your removal quotes?
Although the price is important, you should also know exactly what is included in your removal quote. It could be that a cheap quote contains some hidden costs later on. You don’t want any surprises in the future! Some important things to check are;

So, you completed the form and you received your removal company quotes, now what? Well, now comes the difficult task of choosing the best removal quote for you. If it is your first time, you may find it difficult to decide what information is important to make your decision. We recommend that you consider the following factors when choosing a removal company quote.
Price
Price is important, especially if you are trying to keep to a budget. However, do not compromise the quality of your move for a few extra pounds. As mentioned before, a cheaper price may indicate that there could be hidden costs that will be added later. It’s essential that you determine exactly what service you receive for the price.
Scope of services
Make sure that the moving company offers the services you require for the move. Discuss with the removal company exactly what services you wish to include in your removal quote.
- Moving boxes and packing service. If you require moving boxes, you can often request to use some that belong to the moving company. Or you can allow the professionals to pack your possessions directly.
- If your new home is not ready to move into, then you may need to hold your furniture in storage. Some removal companies can offer this service.
- Transporting special items. Do you hope to move any valuable or fragile items such as a piano? Then you may need to select a moving company that has the capabilities to move such furniture.
Customer experiences
In order to have peace of mind, it’s important to know you can trust your selected removal company. A great way to get an expectation about a removal company’s quote. You can find the profiles of over 1000 removal companies on Sirelo. There, you will be able to read real customer reviews and experiences. These reviews can provide useful insight into the realities of working with a certain removal company. Keep in mind though that people are more likely to write about their bad experiences compared to good experiences.
Company research
We highly recommend that you research moving companies online. Check out their websites and get a sense of how experienced they are. By researching the companies you can get a better idea of whether they have the relevant experience to complete your move. Especially If your move is quite complex then it is important that you have confidence in your mover.
Quality Certifications
Moving networks like BAR (British Association of Removers) are committed to ensuring quality standards in the industry. It is not a requirement for a removal company to join a moving network like BAR. However, those removal companies associated with BAR are required to uphold a certain quality standard. When choosing your removal quote, check to see if the company is a member of BAR. It could give you some assurances as to the professionalism of the company.
