How to save money during your move

The savings are in a shorter day and an honest list. They are not in guessing a price from a bedroom count.

Shorten the day, do not hide the house

A written quote follows time. You save money by making the day shorter and the list accurate. You do not save money by describing a full house as “a few bits” and hoping.

What usually reduces the job

  • Pack clothes and books yourself. Ask us to pack only the kitchen if that is the fragile part. See packing.
  • Clear the loft, the shed and the charity pile before we arrive.
  • Be flexible on a weekday if you can. Fridays and month ends go first.
  • Have keys ready, or tell us they will be late so we are not standing on a hill.
  • Measure awkward pieces, or send photos, so we do not bring the wrong plan.
  • Choose a stopping place for the van. A long carry in Haworth or Utley is time.

What is a false economy

Skipping insurance questions. Insurance is provided. Ask what is covered when you book. Also false: hiring a van for a piano, a tight stair, or a house you have not boxed. A house removal from Long Lee that is ready when we arrive is cheaper than the same house with a loft still full.

Tell us both addresses. We will quote that job, not a generic bedroom price.
