One more thing about insurance. Your remover should not seek to insist on hefty insurance premiums. There are several reasons why it is not in their interest to allow a claim through. I do not wish to upset respectable and honourable removers, but I do advise:- If you want insurance, then get your own cover.

The quote you accept must allow for sufficient time, labour, and van space to handle your property gently.
I spend so much time persuading new guys who come to work for me that it’s not about strength: - It’s about being careful - and that requires sufficent staff for the job.

A quote which is too low may result in a lack of preparation, a careless rush, exhausted staff and damage to your property.

The bottom line is:- Think about the problems - discuss them fully with prospective removers and make his job as transparent and easy as possible - pack properly with proper materials - insure yourself

Now the low price you get will also represent good value.
