We can usually provide better rates during these days, as weekends often see higher demand due to people taking time off work.

When selecting a removals company, there are several important factors to consider. First and foremost, check for accreditation. Ensure the company is a member of the British Association of Removers (BAR), as BAR members are required to uphold the highest industry standards, ensuring top-quality service.
It’s also essential to evaluate the range of services offered, such as packing and storage. Make sure the available services cover all your moving requirements.
Additionally, we suggest reviewing customer feedback. Reading reviews provides valuable insight into the experiences of past customers and helps you gauge what to expect from the company you choose.
Payment is generally required by the time of your moving day, which is standard practice for BAR-accredited companies.
It’s important to know that when you choose a BAR member for your move, your payment is safeguarded by an Advanced Payment Guarantee (APG).
Yes, at White & Company, we offer packing services for our customers.
We provide professional packing solutions tailored to your specific home move, no matter your destination.
Our highly trained staff carefully pack your belongings into clearly labelled boxes, ensuring the best protection. This service ensures that your items will arrive at your new home safe and sound.
For safety reasons, there are certain items we cannot move.
These include flammable materials, lithium batteries, oil-based paints, or anything that could pose a risk to the load or vehicle.
If you have concerns about specific items in your move, please don’t hesitate to ask us. We’re always here to assist with any questions you may have!
You are never obligated to tip our removals team after your move.
While tips are appreciated, they are entirely optional and left to your discretion. If you choose to tip, simply give what you feel is appropriate.
Rest assured, our team will always provide the best possible service, whether you decide to tip or not!
Decluttering and reducing the number of belongings you move can help lower your overall removal costs.
Fewer items mean fewer boxes, which can greatly reduce expenses. Plus, moving into a new home with less clutter makes settling in easier, especially if you’re downsizing.
We recommend booking your move at least 4 to 6 weeks in advance.
During the busy summer months, this timeframe can extend to 8 weeks or more, making early planning essential.
This gives you plenty of time to organise everything before the big day.
