Professional Movers in Croydon

Our vehicles range from 20 feet to 40 feet, so depending on the size of the removal we will need between 2 and 4 car spaces. This will give enough space to load from the rear or side of the vehicle (which ever is easier).

You will need to contact the local council to arrange a parking dispensation for any yellow lines. For red routes you will need to contact Transport for London. If you have parking bays outside your property you will need to have them suspended which is also arranged through your local council. Every council has a different minimum application time limit, ranging from 3 to 10 working days before your removal date. If there are no restrictions, it may be useful to park your car or neighbours cars to reserve a space for when the lorry arrives, alternatively bins and cones are useful for reserving space.

Our staff are not qualified or insured to disconnect any appliances. These will need to be disconnected in advance of the removal day by yourself or we can, at an additional cost, arrange for a tradesman to attend your property to carry out this task.

It is always necessary to empty the contents of the fridge. Our advice is to empty and defrost the freezer section, to reduce the weight, and risk of any damage. Although not advisable, it is possible to move a freezer with the freezer contents still inside. However the risk will be down to the client if any the contents were to defrost. If you are involved in a completion day move there is always the risk of keys being delayed or worst case not them not getting released on that day, resulting in your appliance staying on the vehicle for longer than expected. If this is the case the chance of the goods defrosting is greatly increased. The loss of contents within the fridge and freezer would not be covered under our insurance policy should this happen.

Plants can be taken as long as they are in pots. Be advised that plants do take up a considerable amount of room on the vehicle, so may have a large impact on the price. This depends on the quantity that you would like to take. Also the plants in the pots will not be insured against any damage caused during the removal, although the pots will be covered.
