We provide a quote for weekly storage cost. When your items are placed in your storage container, they are loaded and kept secure in the storage facility. The cost for the service is calculated on even monthly cost.

Am I allowed to access my goods in the storage?

You may be allowed to access your items. However, before you can be allowed access to the item, you have to inform the storage facility at least two days ahead before coming to access your property. This is because in containerized storage, your items are kept in sealed containers which are stored in a warehouse together with other containers. So, if you notify the management on time, arrangement will be made for you to access the items. However, it is a different thing with self-storage. In this type of storage units, you will be allowed to access your items on 24/7 basis depending on the requirements of the facility. However, the problem with self-storage is that it is more expensive than containerized storage. Contact us for cheap removals and storage to France from UK.

Do you offer self-storage services?

Yes, we offer self-storage services but not in all the UK or France.. We have a well built and equipped storage facility. There are different sizes of units in our storage facility.

However, we can assist you by providing information on how much space and time that will be needed for the removal to be executed.

How much time should I give the removal company?

As it mentioned, it is advisable that you book for removal weeks ahead of the stipulated removal date. One to two weeks’ notice is OK for us. But, as experienced movers to France from the UK, we are able to handle emergence or ad hoc booking. However, it will cost you more money. You should book your removal only when you have completed the deal of your new home. This means that you can only book for your removal services when your new home is ready for living.

There are some types of drawer or furniture that are not easy to remove. It is advisable that you leave such drawer or furniture empty. You can leave beddings on your bed or your clothes in a removal wardrobe only if such pieces of furniture are strong. Removals to France recommends moving chest of drawers, bookcase, wardrobes empty.

Must I hire packing services?

Though, we offer packing services but we do not compel our clients to hire our removals and packing services. If you wish and you are able to neatly pack your items, you can do that by yourself. However, you should ensure that you use the right moving boxes and that the boxes are properly labels and sealed for safe delivery and easy unpacking.

If you are not sure about the right boxes and packing materials required, let us know and we will provide them to you.

When will the moving van arrive?

Given that our work normally starts between 6 to 8 am, we will be at your premise between 8:30 and 9:00am if untrammelled by exigencies of life. If you are relocating to a far distance that requires special timing, we have to discuss with you to determine the right time to arrive at your current premise. Unforeseen circumstances of life may delay the arrival. But we have always aimed at arriving on or before the agreed time.

Should the removal company visit my house before providing me with a quote?

Yes, it is important for a removal company to visit your house before providing you with house removal costs to France from the UK, England, Wales, Ireland, Scotland. This will enable the company to provide accurate quote. By visiting your home, the company representative will evaluate your properties or items to be move, their volume, weight and also the suitability of packing boxes and materials for the various items. In this way, there will be no problem on the pricing during the removal day. Their coming to their house will also give you the opportunity to get a feel of what their services will look like. If you are not happy with their attitude and their behaviours towards you that day, you should consider other options because it is an indication that they will not satisfy you.

Will the team of packers disconnect my electrical appliances and cooker for moving?

No, our team of packers will not carry out such work because they are meant to be carried out by qualified trade’s person.

The part packing service involves the packing of only some of the items as requested by the clients. The remaining items are packed by the client himself. The removal service is the transportation of all boxes including furniture. There are other additional services such as storage, rubbish removal, cleaning services and others.

I got a removal quote that is far cheaper, what is the reason for the big margin in price?

Some removal companies offer quotes with lots of hidden charges. So, you have to double check the quote to ensure that it covers all you want them to do. If it covers everything, ask for a written contract that stipulates the price and all that will be done. From experience, most of such companies will begin to withdraw their quotes or add the hidden costs if they are asked to prepare a contract stating all that should be done. So, be careful.

Is it OK for me to use a man and van service?

There is no problem with man and van services for small moves to France. But, you have to take time in researching the company to ensure that the company is highly reliable. However, man and van services are not suitable for large 3, 4 or 5 bedrooms house removals to France because their vehicles will not be suitable for such moves. For such moves, you will require the services of good removal companies with at least 7,5 ton or 17 ton removal van.

I was asked for upfront payment by a removal company, is there anything wrong with that?

There is nothing wrong with that There are other companies that demand for part payment just to secure the service but the full payment must be made before the delivery.

How can I cut removal cost to France from UK?

One of the ways of cutting moving cost is to avoid Friday move. This is because many people normally fix their move on Fridays. Since Friday is the peak period, UK to France removal companies charge higher during that day of the week. But they charge lesser during the mid-week since they get fewer jobs on that day. So, you can cut cost by fixing your move date on a mid-week. Another means of cutting cost, is to do the packing by you. If you are packing by yourself, you can save on the cost of packing materials by sourcing for boxes from supermarkets. Most supermarkets throw away the cartons of their orders. They will be willing to offer you that free of charge. You can also save money by shopping around and that is getting quotes from various companies and choosing the best deal.

Should I tip the removal crew?
It is compulsory to tip the crew. But if you are satisfied with their services, you can show appreciation by tipping them. They will also be happy to receive such appreciation from you.

The above are some of the frequently asked questions from our clients including prospective clients. If you don't find question or any answer that takes care of your worry from the list, you should contact our support immediately for assistance.
