Why should I avoid planning a removal on Friday?

We do understand that moving on Friday might be the most suitable time for you and your family, as you can take the whole weekend to settle in your new apartment or house. Many removal companies in London might charge you extra for their services on this day of week because of the increased demand and significant traffic in the city. Moreover, you might experience various delays on your side such as the transaction of payment to our bank account. If such issues occur, you will have to wait until Monday because of the upcoming weekend to solve the problem. The payment delay might eventually lead to additional charges. At MTC London Removals Company, our main goal is to make sure your removal is going all smoothly without a single hindrance. Therefore, we would ask you to plan your removal on any day except fro Friday.

Do I need to book your removal services in advance?

Yes. MTC Removals is aimed at providing high-quality personalized removal services. In order to keep our promise and guarantee a hassle-free removal, we need some time to plan your removal beforehand. Therefore, it is necessary that you book our services as early as possible. We might be booked up weeks in advance, especially during holiday seasons. Friday and the end of the month rate the most popular removal days. If you are looking for a last-minute moving house, we would recommend opting for mid-week and mid-month – these days are less demanded among our clients, and you might even get our removal services at a reduced price.

How long does a house removal take?

FAQ . House removal is a highly individual procedure. The duration of a removal depends of several factors, such as the amount of possessions to be transferred, number of large furniture, how many loaders you are going to hire, and other. Based on our past experience, we would generally estimate that your possessions and furniture will be packed and loaded until lunch, and unloaded after lunch. Unloading usually takes much less time than loading, as our team will not need to pack the boxes and furniture into a small space of the truck. Please keep in mind that this schedule is an estimate only, and in order to provide you with a more precise timing, we need to know more details about your removal. Please contact us at [email], tell us about your removal plans, and we will come back with a quote and an estimate schedule.

Why should I choose your removal company in London among other ones?

Do you have a set rate for your removal services in London?

Every removal process is individual, and therefore requires different timing and extra services. AT MTC London Removals, we usually charge for our work per hour. However, there might be extra fees depending on the amount of possessions and large furniture to be loaded and moved, day of the week you choose for you removal, your location, distance moving, access availability, and other factors. Please send us an email describing your removal needs at [email protected] , or fill out our Contact Form , and our managers will get back to you with a  free no-obligation quote

How do you calculate your quotation price?

There are several factors that influence our removals quotation price . Some of the main aspects that affect our pricing are loading and unloading time, time traveling to the destination, and the amount of large furniture or heavy objects to be transferred. If you have a large number of personal possessions to be loaded and unloaded, you may need more porters to clear your property in a given timeframe. Moreover, long distance traveling affects our pricing as it adds up to the total timing of the removal and requires more fuel. If you are willing to get your free no-obligation quote now, send us an email: at [email protected] , call us at 02038118380 or fill out our Contact Form, and our managers will get back to you as soon as possible.

My removal requires long-distance traveling. What if your drivers cannot make it in one day?

At MTC London Removals Company, we are open for removals requiring long distance traveling, even if our drivers have to have a night away. However, there are certain aspects that our clients need to pay attention to when ordering long distance removals at our company.

Firstly, please be aware that a fully loaded removal wagon cannot travel fast due to both legal restrictions and technical capacities. Secondly, according to the law, our drivers can legally drive up to 4 1/2 hours in a row, and then they have to make a break of at least 45 minutes. After that they can drive for up to 4 1/2 hours, and finally they are required to have a night away for a minimum of 10 hours. Thirdly, please make sure you arrive to the destination place earlier than our drivers and porters so that you are not charged extra for waiting time.

What information do I need to provide so that you can send me a quotation?

As every removal case is individual, we will need substantial information to estimate the pricing and turnaround time of your request. In order to receive a personal quote, please provide us with the following details:

  • Your current location and your moving destination;
  • Van access of both locations, such as parking, loading zone, substantial space to load large furniture, etc.;
  • Desired date or day of week of your removal;
  • Whether new owners or renters are moving in the same day;
  • If new homeowners are moving in the same day, tell us by what time your home should be cleared;
  • Your time constraints, if any;
  • If our professional packing service is requested;
  • Amount of large objects or fragile items to be loaded, transferred and unloaded, such as glass table, antiques, American fridge, oversized furniture or custom-made items;
  • Whether you require carton boxes to pack and move your possessions.

Will I sign a contract with your removal company in London?

Yes. For us it is crucial that the rights and responsibilities of both parties are clearly stated and respected. Therefore, signing a contract with our clients is a standard procedure at MTC London Removals Company . We will state all terms and conditions, moving dates, pricing, and other details, and we guarantee that the whole removal process will be carried out according to the contract both parties sign.

Will your porters help me disconnect my kitchen appliances?

No. According to the law, all kitchen appliances, such as the stove or oven, should be disconnected by a qualified professional. Therefore, it is necessary that you hire a specialist before our team comes to your place so that they can load disconnected packaged appliances in the truck. Shall you require, our porters can disconnect certain appliances, such as the washing machine. However, it will be at your own risk, and we cannot guarantee the quality of the service provided.

Will you visit me before coming to move my home?

If you are planning to move special objects or have a lot of large furniture, we would offer you a preliminary removal inspection. Our manager will come to your home, see what and how many objects have to be moved, and offer you possible solutions. We will also be able to provide a more precise quote and timing estimate after a property visit. Moreover, you will have a chance to get to know our team and decide whether you are willing to work with us and trust us your removal in London.

What packing services do you offer?

MTC London Removals Company offers a number of packing services options that you can choose from depending on your needs. If you are willing to take all hassle and stress out of your removal process, our movers will professionally pack and load all of your possessions. No more need to roam the construction supply stores and search for cartons, scotch tape and other materials needed to pack your items. We will bring necessary materials and pack all our possessions, everything from your personal belongings, to fragile items and large appliances.

Another option is to choose our partial packing services. Our porters will handle special objects, pack fragile items and cover large furniture to avoid any possible damage. You will only need to pack your personal belongings, such as clothing, documents, books, and other items that do not require any special treatment.

If you prefer packing everything on your own, our porters will then only load the boxes and large items into the truck and move them to your new home. If you decide to go for this option, please make sure that all items are securely packed and covered to avoid any damage.

When our movers arrive to your new home, you will also have various options to choose from. Our porters can either unload your boxes and furniture and place them at the property entrance, or place them as required so that you do not need to move large furniture and fragile objects on your own.

MTC London Removals Company will also be glad to offer additional services that will enhance your removal experience and take all stress and rush from this day. If requested, our movers offer cleaning and rubbish clearance services upon the items loading, so that the new owners or renters can move in a clean and neat place.

I have a small removal , Do you have any options for me?

If you are a student moving from one dorm to another, or simply live in a small condo, we would be happy to offer you our man with van service . Our driver will come on a van that can fit a small move. They will also help you load and unload your personal belongings if needed. Please make sure our man with van option works for your removal to avoid a second load. If you are not sure that your possessions will fit into a small van, or you have large furniture to move, we would recommend opting for our standard option.

What if my items do not fit into the van?

If your personal belongings and furniture did not fit into the van that arrived for your removal, we can offer you a second load option. Our driver will first transfer all items that fit into the van, and then come back to move the remaining objects. In order to avoid multiple loads, we would ask you to give us precise information on your removal, send us house pictures or let us pay you a visit beforehand.

Will you ask for payment upfront?

Yes. In order to secure your removal date, guarantee high quality of our removal services and get ready for your removal beforehand, we would ask you to pay in a deposit or a full amount depending on the scale of your removal request. All prepayment details will be indicated in the terms and conditions of the contract we are going to sign.

Can I do the whole removal myself?

We would not say it is impossible to do, but it will definitely be a huge hassle. Packing everything on your own, finding a van, loading and unloading might take you ages. Although moving yourself might work for small student removals, larger households are advised to choose professional removal services. With professional movers you will not only save hours or even days of your precious time, but also take all the stress out of the removal process. Our porters will carefully pack your belongings and load your furniture to avoid any damage.

How can I cut costs of my removal?

If our quote is higher than your removal budget, there are a couple of ways of cutting costs of your removal. Consider changing your removal date: Friday, weekend and end of the month are the most popular days for removals among Londoners. Booking your removal during mid-week will result in a better rate.

Also, you can pack your belongings on your own without resorting to professional services of our porters. Our movers will then only load the boxes and move then to your new home. In addition, you can declutter your current home and get rid of all unnecessary items, which will cost on the amount of belongings to be moved.

If our quotation still seems too high for you, please send us and mail at [email protected] , and we will do our best to offer you the best cost.

Can I tip your porters and drivers?

Tips are neither required nor expected by our removal crews. Nevertheless, if you are willing to say thank you for a good service, this small gesture will be highly appreciated by our movers and motivate them to perform their best.
