When you receive a quote from a home removal company, several factors affect what the moving service charges.
Firstly, there is the total weight of what needs shipping and the distance it travels. The more items and the heavier they are, the more it will cost. If you have well above the average number of belongings, you may need more than one moving van. The weight and number of items will also affect how many workers are required. Heavy items like grand pianos or heavy safes may incur additional charges. You may want the movers to pack for you, which will cost extra.
The time of year and day of week can affect the quote. May to September is the peak time when prices may be higher. Friday is a popular day to move as it leaves the weekend free to unpack and sort. A less busy time of the week may be cheaper.
Long-distance moves are usually calculated by mileage and weight. If moving to Europe, the cost of taking a moving van on the ferry will be charged.
If the removal service arranges insurance for your belongings during the move, high-value items like artwork or antiques will cost extra to cover.
When requesting a quote, be specific about the items that need moving, your preferred moving date and whether you want to do your own packing.
