How to Choose a Good Removal Company in Canterbury
- 1
Book well in advance, especially for end-of-month completion dates which are very busy in the removal industry.
- 2
Ask whether they carry goods-in-transit insurance and what the per-item limit is.
- 3
Get a surveyor or video survey to provide an accurate quote — a rough estimate often leads to surprises on the day.
- 4
Ask about their policy for delays (e.g., delayed completions) — some companies charge waiting time.
- 5
Check they are a member of BAR (British Association of Removers) or a similar trade body for quality assurance.
Frequently Asked Questions
When should I book a removal company?
Book as soon as your completion date is confirmed — good removal companies book up weeks in advance, especially around month-ends and during spring/summer. A provisional booking can often be made before your date is finalised.
What is the difference between a man and van and a removal company?
A man and van service is typically a one or two-person operation suitable for small moves or single items. A removal company has a larger crew and fleet, professional packing materials, and usually carries full goods-in-transit insurance — better for larger household moves.
Should I pack myself or use a packing service?
Self-packing saves money. A professional packing service is faster, protects your items better (especially fragile items), and the company may extend their insurance to cover packing damage if they pack the boxes. It is worth the extra cost if you have antiques, artwork, or a short timescale.
What happens if my completion is delayed on moving day?
This is a common situation. Most removal companies charge a waiting time fee after a certain point. Some have storage vehicles that can hold your belongings until access is available. Confirm their policy in advance and factor it into your contingency planning.
