If you are moving house, you should book a removal company four to six weeks in advance. Professional removal companies can get booked up quickly, so be prepared and book early.

With your removal service secured well in advance, you can spend less time worrying about your move and more time feeling excited.

What are the benefits of booking a moving company 4-6 weeks in advance?

There are many benefits to booking a removal company approximately a month before your scheduled move date. Booking in advance gives you plenty of time to:

• .Ask multiple removal companies for quotes

• Arrange a home survey (consultation)

• Review your final quote

• Answer any questions and finalise all the important details (parking availability, packing requests etc)

• Focus on other moving house tasks

Avoid booking a removal company too far in advance. Wait until all contracts have been exchanged before booking a professional removal service.

Waiting until the very last minute before booking a removal company is also not a good idea. While it is possible to move your belongings yourself, a professional moving service will do all of the hard work for you.
