Long Distance Removals FAQs
What counts as a long distance removal?
There’s no official cut-off, but the removals trade usually calls a move long distance once it passes 50 to 100 miles. At that point the planning, timings and vehicle needs all change, which is why it pays to use a team that does them regularly.
Do you cover the whole of the UK?
Yes. We move households from Manchester to anywhere in the UK, from London and the South East to Scotland, Wales and the South West. If it has a UK postcode, we’ll get you there.
How much does a long distance move cost?
It depends on the size of your home, the distance, and whether you’d like packing or storage. We give you an accurate quote up front from a home or video survey, with no hidden extras.
How far in advance should I book?
For a long distance move, the earlier the better, ideally six to eight weeks ahead, so we can plan the route, allocate the right vehicle and lock in your date. During the busy summer months, earlier still.
Will the same team handle the whole move?
Yes. The people who load your home are the people who unload it. There’s no transferring your belongings between depots or drivers, so there’s less handling and less to go wrong.
Can you pack everything for me?
Absolutely. On a long move it’s well worth it. We can pack your whole home or just the fragile and awkward bits, with all materials included, so everything is protected for the journey.
What if there’s a gap before I can move in?
No problem. If completion slips or your new place isn’t ready, we can store your belongings securely and deliver them when you are, so the distance never leaves you stuck.
Are my belongings insured for the journey?
Yes, every long distance move is covered by full goods-in-transit and public liability insurance for the entire trip, however far you’re going.
