What should be on a removalists cost checklist before I compare quotes?

A Life Is New Team Answered by

A removalists cost checklist should cover the estimated volume of furniture, moving distance, date, stairs, lifts, parking access and whether packing or unpacking is needed. Ask each company whether the quote includes labour, travel, materials, waiting time, fuel or tolls, and any weekend or long-distance surcharge. Check what transit insurance or liability cover is provided and whether you need separate cover for valuable items. Get the quote and cancellation terms in writing, then confirm the final price and conditions directly with the removalist, as costs vary with your circumstances.
