When comparing removal companies more generally, it’s worth checking that each one holds both public liability insurance (covering injury or property damage during the move) and goods-in-transit insurance (covering your belongings while they’re being transported), arranging a pre-move survey to assess access and volume, and getting at least three written quotes before you decide.
