As a BAR-registered (British Association of Removers) company, we work to recognised industry standards and provide additional consumer protection throughout your move.
Full-Service Removals Tailored to Your Move
Every move is different, which is why we provide a fully managed service rather than basic transport. Our team can handle the entire process from start to finish, including:
- Full or part packing with trained professionals (see packing services)
- Specialist handling for antiques, fragile and high-value items
- Dismantling and reassembling furniture and larger items
- Room-by-room unloading and placement, both from your old house and in your new
- Local and long-distance relocations across the UK
As a BAR-registered mover, we follow strict codes of practice, offer payment protection, and provide formal dispute resolution should it ever be needed. This gives homeowners greater reassurance, especially when moving entire households or valuable belongings.
Why Storage Makes Moving Less Stressful
Most home moves don’t happen in a single clean handover. Whether you’re waiting on keys, completing renovation work, experience delays or moving in stages, temporary storage offers a practical way to keep belongings safe and out of the way until you’re ready.
Key release delays
Belongings can be held safely until access to your new property is confirmed.
Renovating your new property
Keeps items protected from dust, tools and accidental damage while work is completed.
Preparing your home for sale
Declutters rooms so your property feels bigger, brighter and more appealing to buyers.
Downsizing
Store belongings while you decide what to keep long-term, without rushing decisions.
Long-distance moves
Move in stages rather than trying to complete everything in one long, stressful day.

A Simple Combined Process
When removals and storage are handled together, your move is coordinated from start to finish:
Pack → Collect → Store → Redeliver → Reassemble
This approach avoids repeated van hire, double-handling belongings, and the confusion of dealing with multiple contractors. Everything remains managed by one team with clear responsibility throughout the journey.
Real Example: Move Delayed Due to Renovations
If your new property isn’t ready because of decoration or building work, we can:
- Pack and collect your belongings on completion day
- Store them securely while renovation work finishes
- Redeliver when the property is ready
- Reassemble furniture and place items in the correct rooms
This means you can renovate properly without rushing or living among boxes. To arrange this type of move, request a quote and our team will plan the logistics with you.
Security and Professional Handling
From first collection to final delivery, our team maintains responsibility for your belongings. That continuity means:
- Items are wrapped, padded and protected throughout
- Fragile items are packed using industry-standard materials
- Stored items remain monitored, temperature-controlled and insured when professionally packed
- Fewer handovers reduce the risk of loss or damage
