As soon as you know you are moving, call Shore Porters and ask for a representative to call round. We will quickly assess your requirements and establish a timescale, costs, special arrangements, etc. We do not advise waiting until you have a moving date because it is important that you know costs at the earliest opportunity so that you can budget for your move. Moving dates can be arranged with us later once they are confirmed. See our domestic removals or international removals pre-move survey sections for more details.
Of course, and we are delighted to help. Our free, no-obligation survey and quotation will be tailored to your individual needs and budget. For example, Shore Porters can pack everything, only breakables or nothing (providing you with boxes to pack yourself) – it’s your choice. We can also advise on specialist packing of items such as antiques, pictures and objects of sentimental value.
Shore Porters has an excellent reputation for providing a first-class service. However, that doesn’t mean we charge the most expensive fees! With the free, no-obligations assessment available from our experienced team, your quote will always be tailored to your needs and budget.
