From First Phone Call To Free Survey & Fixed Written Quote

Every house move we handle begins long before a single box is lifted, and it starts the moment you call 01903 893731 or email [email protected]. As a family-run Sussex removals company based at Dorlyn House in Ashington near Pulborough, we cover everything from removals in Worthing to moves further afield, and have learned since 2016 that the difference between a stressful relocation and a calm one is the quality of the planning that happens up front. That is why we never quote blind. We arrange a free, no-obligation home survey at a time that suits you, where a member of our team walks every room with you, notes the larger and more awkward items, checks loft and garage contents, and looks at access at both ends of the move — narrow lanes, parking restrictions, stairs, lifts and the width of doorways all change how a job is planned.

From that survey we produce a fixed written quote so there are no surprises on the day. You will know exactly what is included, how many crew and what size vehicle we are sending, and whether any optional extras such as packing or short-term storage make sense for your circumstances. As a guide, a typical local two-bed house move runs £650–£1,250 + VAT, while our man and van service starts from £80 for smaller jobs. If your timescale is tight or you would simply rather not have a visitor, we can also build an accurate estimate from a video walk-through or a detailed inventory. Either way, you can take the first step now by requesting your free no-obligation house removals quote, and you are welcome to review our transparent removals pricing structure or get an instant ballpark from our removals cost calculator before you decide.

Moving Day Hour By Hour: What Actually Happens

One of the most common questions we are asked is simply, ‘What will the day feel like?’ Knowing the rhythm of a move in advance takes a great deal of the anxiety out of it. Our crews arrive promptly, usually first thing, and your dedicated move coordinator confirms the plan with you before any furniture is touched. The team then lays protection through the property, works methodically room by room loading the van in a deliberate order, and keeps you informed at each stage. Once the property is clear, we do a final walk-through together so nothing is left behind, then travel to your new home where the process runs in reverse — furniture placed where you want it, boxes set down in the correct rooms, and beds reassembled so you have somewhere to sleep that night.

A typical move tends to follow this shape:

  • Arrival & brief: introductions, a quick walk-round, and agreement on which items are priorities and which stay behind.
  • Protection & preparation: floor runners, banister and corner padding, and door guards go in before anything is carried.
  • Loading: heavy and base items first, fragile and awkward pieces wrapped and braced, everything logged room by room.
  • Transit & unload: a steady journey to your new address, then a careful unload with each box placed in its labelled room.
  • Setting up: beds and key furniture reassembled, a final tidy of packing materials, and a last check before we leave.

Because every job has a single point of contact, there is always one person who knows the whole picture — useful if a question comes up mid-move or plans shift on the day.

Protecting Your Floors, Furniture & Doorways

Most accidental damage during a move happens not to the items being carried but to the home itself — scuffed skirting, marked walls, and scratched floors. We treat both properties as if they were our own. Before loading begins we lay protective runners across carpets and hard floors along the main carrying routes, pad banisters and tight corners, and fit guards to door frames at risk of knocks. Sofas, mattresses and upholstered chairs are wrapped to keep them clean, while polished and antique furniture is blanket-wrapped and, where needed, given an extra layer of protection at vulnerable edges and feet.

Our care for delicate and high-value pieces is one reason we hold LAPADA membership and are Checkatrade-verified — the handling standards expected of fine-art and antiques transport carry over into every ordinary family move we do. For total reassurance we are fully insured, with goods-in-transit and public liability cover in place, and our work is recommended by respected local estate agents including Fine & Country, Justin Lloyd and Mansell McTaggart. Glassware, mirrors, artwork and electronics each get wrapping appropriate to the item rather than a one-size-fits-all approach, and anything genuinely irreplaceable is flagged at the survey so we can plan its handling in advance.

Dismantling, Reassembly & The Optional Extras That Help

Large family homes are full of furniture that simply will not fit through a doorway or down a staircase in one piece. Our crews are equipped and experienced to dismantle and reassemble wardrobes, bed frames, bunk beds, flat-pack units, garden furniture, trampolines and dining tables as part of the move, keeping fixings safely bagged and labelled so everything goes back together correctly at the other end. It is the kind of detail that turns a daunting day into a manageable one.

Beyond the lift-and-shift itself, many households choose to add services that take more off their plate. If you would rather not face a mountain of boxes, our professional full packing service wraps and cartons your whole home using proper materials, and our full unpacking service can have you settled far sooner. If completion dates do not line up, our secure household storage solutions bridge the gap, and you can size up what you need with our handy online storage calculator. For smaller jobs, single items or a part-load, our flexible man and van service across Sussex may be all you need, while businesses relocating premises are covered by our commercial removals team.

  • Wardrobes, beds and flat-pack furniture taken apart and rebuilt with fixings kept safe.
  • Optional packing and unpacking so you lift nothing and unpack at your own pace.
  • Short or long-term storage when your sale and purchase do not complete on the same day.

Moving With Children Or Pets & Choosing The Right Date

Families rarely move in isolation — there are children, pets, school terms and work commitments all in the mix. Our advice, built up over years of moving households across West Sussex and the surrounding counties, is to plan around the people and animals who feel the upheaval most. Where possible, arrange for young children and pets to spend moving day with a relative, friend or in a quiet room away from the front door; it keeps them calm and keeps our carrying routes clear and safe. Pack an essentials box — chargers, kettle, snacks, medication, a change of clothes, favourite toys and pet bowls — and keep it with you rather than on the van, so the first evening in your new home is comfortable from the start.

Choosing the right date matters too. Mid-week and mid-month moves are often quieter and more flexible than the Friday and end-of-month rush, which can make scheduling and parking easier at both ends. We will always talk through the realities of your chain and completion timings honestly so you book a date that genuinely works. To understand more about how we operate and why so many Sussex families trust us with their homes, take a look at our family-run removals story. Whatever your timescale, our goal is the same — that you walk into your new house ready to settle in, not faced with chaos.

House Removals — Your Questions Answered

As a guide only, a typical local two-bed house move runs £650–£1,250 + VAT, and our man and van service starts from £80 for smaller jobs. The exact figure depends on the size of your home, distance, access and any packing or storage required, so the surest way to get an accurate number is a free, no-obligation quote — request yours here or see our pricing guide. A one-bed flat typically sits below the two-bed band, while a large family house or a longer distance moves above it. The survey is what turns that band into your own fixed figure: a short video walkthrough or an in-person visit, followed by an itemised written quote covering the crew, the vehicle and standard protection of floors and furniture. Anything you add afterwards — packing, storage, dismantling — is priced at the same time, so the figure you agree is the figure you pay.

Yes — we offer full packing, fragile-only packing and packing materials from our box shop, so you can do as much or as little as you like. Full packing sends a trained crew in the day before to work through the house room by room — beds dismantled, wardrobes wrapped, kitchen boxed — while fragile-only covers the china, glassware and artwork and leaves the everyday things to you. Everything is priced upfront in your written quote, and after the move we’ll collect your flattened boxes next time a van is in your area, so you’re not left storing cardboard.

We recommend booking as early as possible, especially over summer and month-ends. That said, we can often accommodate short-notice moves — get in touch and we’ll do our best to fit you in. Fridays and month-ends fill first, because that’s when completions cluster, so a mid-week date is usually easier to secure at short notice. If your dates are still moving — a chain that hasn’t confirmed, a rental handover in flux — book the survey anyway: the quote holds while the paperwork settles, and your coordinator adjusts the plan as dates firm up rather than starting from scratch each time.

Absolutely. Our clean, dry, containerised storage covers short and long-term needs, ideal when completion dates don’t line up. Everything is loaded once, sealed into its own container at our West Sussex site, and left untouched until you’re ready — no unloading and reloading in between, which is where most storage damage actually happens. The same crew that collects redelivers when the new house completes, whether that’s two days later or several months, and mentioning storage at the survey means it’s priced into your written quote from the start.

Yes, every move is fully insured and carried out by our trained team. We’re also a LAPADA member and Checkatrade-verified. Goods-in-transit cover is included as standard, and you can add full damage cover for around 10% on top of your quote if you want belt-and-braces protection — ask at the quotation stage and it’s all set out in writing. On the day, the crew protects floors, doorways and banisters before anything moves, and anything fragile or high in value is wrapped and handled by people trained for exactly that.

Yes. After a free, no-obligation home survey — in person, by video or from a detailed inventory — we provide a fixed written quote that sets out the crew, vehicle and everything included, so there are no surprises on moving day. You’ll typically have that written quote within 24 hours of the survey. You can request yours through our quote page. The quote itemises the crew, the vehicle, insurance and every service you’ve added, and it holds while your completion chain settles — if dates move, your coordinator adjusts the plan rather than reissuing a different price. It also means comparing us with other quotes is straightforward: everything is on paper, nothing is a day-rate estimate that grows on the day.

Absolutely. Our crews routinely take apart and rebuild wardrobes, beds, flat-pack units and other large items as part of the move, keeping all fixings bagged and labelled so everything goes back together correctly in your new home. Dismantling protects more than the furniture itself — a wardrobe carried in pieces spares your walls, banisters and door frames too, which matters in tighter hallways and period cottages alike. Tell us at the survey which items need taking apart and the time is planned and priced in; at the new house you sleep in a made-up bed on night one rather than facing an allen key late in the evening.

We lay floor runners along carrying routes, pad banisters, corners and door frames, and wrap furniture and fragile items appropriately before loading. As a LAPADA member and Checkatrade-verified company with goods-in-transit and public liability cover, we apply fine-handling standards to every family move. The protection happens before the first item moves, not after the first scuff: runners down, frames padded, furniture wrapped while it’s still standing in the room. At the new house the same happens in reverse, and the crew places furniture where you want it rather than stacking it in the hall — so the house you leave and the house you arrive at both stay the way you’d want them.

Yes. When completion dates do not line up, our secure household storage bridges the gap, holding your belongings safely until your new home is ready. Use our storage calculator to estimate the space you need. Your belongings are loaded once, sealed into their own container, and redelivered by the same crew when the new house is genuinely ready — no repeated handling in between. Mention the possibility at the survey even if the chain looks solid; having storage priced into the written quote from the start means a last-minute delay becomes a phone call, not a crisis.
