A choice of packing services

Moving home can be a life changing event. Experience has taught us that some people want to take an active part in their removal and pack themselves, while others prefer to sit back and let the professional removals company do the work. Find out more about the choices of packing services available for your UK home move.

Pickfords offers a range of removals insurance options that offer added protection for your belongings whilst they are in transit or in storage.

Worried about delays on moving day?

We understand how frustrating it can be when access to your new property is delayed. That's why we created our late key and cancellation waivers so that, even when the unfortunate and unexpected happens, your costs are covered.

COVID-19 Guidance for Customers

Due to the unprecedented situation with regard to the spread of the Covid-19 virus, the removal industry has had to review its operational procedures in order to protect both customers and employees from the risk of infection.

Our removal teams have had instruction on how to maximise protection while working within the close quarters of your home to ensure your safety. This includes safe use of PPE, frequent washing of hands and sanitising vehicles, and the washing of uniforms daily at high temperatures.

For more information about the measures we are taking to ensure your safety, read our Covid-19 guidance for customers.

Advanced Payment Guarantee

It is usual practice in the removals industry to request full payment prior to a move taking place.  This payment is required to book your operational resources. 

For your peace of mind we have put in place an Advance Payment Guarantee (Guarantee) with The Baxendale Insurance Company DAC.

If you have booked removal services, paid in advance, and the company enters liquidation (a legal term for closing down a business due to the fact it has insufficient funds to continue trading) then the Guarantee will fund the cost of carrying out the services if they have not started or completing the services if partially complete at the time of liquidation.
