House Removals

Our house removals start with a free survey of your home and end with your furniture back together in the right rooms. Everything in between, from packing to the move itself, is planned around a fixed price you agree in writing before the day.

We’re a family-run team based at Knockmore Industrial Estate in Lisburn. Chris Magee started the company in 2016 with one Transit van, and a team of seven now runs four trucks.

1. Request A Quote

Tell us where you’re moving from and to, roughly how big your home is, and your preferred dates.

2. Free survey

In person or by video call. We look at how much is going, the access at both addresses, and anything that needs dismantling. Show us the loft, garage and shed too, because that’s where surprises live.

3. Plan Your Move

You get a fixed price in writing, a confirmed date, and a plan for crew size, vehicle and packing.

4. Packing day, if booked

Our team packs the day before, room by room, and labels every box for its room at the new address.

5. Moving day

We protect your furniture, load, travel and unload, then reassemble beds and wardrobes and place everything where you want it. Our guide on how to protect your furniture on a Belfast move explains what we wrap and why.

6. Settle in

We place everything exactly where you want it in your new home, so you’re not left with boxes in the wrong rooms. All you have to do is unpack and enjoy the new space.

Planning Around Your Home

Every type of home moves differently, so the survey shapes the plan:

  • Flats and apartments: lift access, stairwells and where the vehicle can stop decide crew size and timing
  • Terraces: on-street parking and narrow streets can mean a longer carry, so we plan the vehicle around it
  • Family homes: lofts, garages and sheds often add more than people expect, so we include them in the survey
  • New-builds: we check the road is finished and accessible, and plan around any site restrictions
  • Rural homes: narrow lanes and long drives can need a smaller vehicle or extra time

Getting Ready for Your House Move

A few things make moving day go faster:

  • Declutter first. You’re priced on what’s going, so sell, donate or clear before the survey
  • Defrost the freezer a day or two before, so it’s dry on the day
  • Secure the washing machine drum with its transit bolts if you still have them
  • Empty fuel from lawnmowers, and set aside gas bottles and paint, as these generally can’t travel in a removal vehicle
  • Keep valuables and documents with you, along with an essentials box for the first night
  • Arrange parking at both addresses, so the vehicle can stop close to the door

Packing, Storage and Clearance

Packing. Our team can pack the whole house or just the parts you’d rather not do, such as the kitchen or fragile items, using quality boxes and wrapping. See packing done for you.

Storage. We use self-contained wooden containers, 7.5 feet tall, 7 feet deep and 5 feet wide, and you pay only for the space you use. Collection and return are included, and the facility is monitored by CCTV and fully alarmed. See storage between properties.

Clearance. Downsizing or selling? We can clear the things you’re not taking before or alongside your move, so you only pay to move what you’re keeping.

Booking these together means one survey, one fixed price, and no double handling.

Is My Furniture Insured?

Your belongings should be covered by goods-in-transit insurance while they’re being moved. That’s different from public liability insurance, which covers damage or injury to other people and property, not your belongings.

We confirm what’s covered in writing before you book. If you have high-value items, such as antiques or artwork, tell us at survey so we can confirm cover for them.

House Removals: Frequently Asked Questions

We look at how much is going, the access at both addresses, and anything that needs dismantling or special handling. Walk us through every room, including the loft, garage and shed. It takes place in person or by video call, and it’s what lets us give you a fixed price instead of an estimate.

It depends on how much you’re moving, access at both addresses, the distance, and any extras such as packing or storage. We confirm one fixed price in writing after the survey. Our guide to what a house move costs explains each factor.

The survey, fixed price, furniture protection, dismantling, reassembly and placing furniture are all included. Packing, storage and clearance are optional extras, and if you book them they’re included in the same fixed price.

Declutter before the survey, defrost the freezer a day or two before, and secure the washing machine drum. Keep valuables, documents and an essentials box with you, and arrange parking at both addresses so the vehicle can get close.

Yes. Beds, wardrobes and flat-pack furniture are taken apart at your old home and put back together at the new one. Let us know at survey about anything unusual, so we bring the right tools.

Your belongings should be covered by goods-in-transit insurance while they’re moved. Public liability insurance is different, and doesn’t cover your belongings. We confirm what’s covered in writing before you book, and high-value items should be mentioned at survey.

We can collect on your moving date and keep your belongings in storage until you’re ready, then deliver. Collection and return are included, so you don’t need to hire a van.

Four to six weeks is usually enough. For end-of-month dates or summer weekends, aim for eight weeks. Shorter notice is sometimes possible, so it’s worth asking.
