Removals in the UK

A local Pickfords branch

Pickfords has a network of branches across the UK, so you can enjoy a personal service from your local removals team, as well as local storage near your old or new property. Find your nearest branch.

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.

Transit insurance for your peace of mind

Our customers have access to insurance cover provided by a third party insurer who specialises solely in transit and storage insurance and who understands the risks associated with international transit.

The insurance has a number of options that can be tailored to meet your particular requirements and your budget.

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.

Storage to meet your needs

Need extra flexibility during your home move? Keep your belongings safe in one of Pickfords' nationwide storage centers, and we'll deliver everything to your new home whenever you're ready.

Carbon Neutral Removals Service

Pickfords' carbon footprint has been formally assessed and the company has created its Carbon Reduction Plan to set out the roadmap of carbon reduction initiatives to ensure it meets its science-based targets. 

Pickfords has invested in a range of global climate change projects to offset its carbon footprint. These include Biodiversity projects in the Amazon Rain Forest and Kenya, investment in a waste to energy plant in Istanbul and Brazil and championing and improved cooking practice project in Nigeria to reduce smoke and pollutants into the atmosphere. 

If you value green credentials from your providers, then choose Pickfords as your carbon-neutral removals company.  

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.
