Please bare in mind that we are now under no obligation to work or to complete moves. The business and the staff have made the combined decision to do our best to keep things moving for our customers at this difficult time. This means that we are extremely busy and all working very hard. Please allow us to operate safely, allow us plenty of working space and please cleanse your home and belongings before our arrival. Please do all that you can to help us and continue to help others.

• We are no longer offering home surveys until further notice but we are prepared to provide prices for your move via video call, FaceTime, by video recording or buy pictures which can be sent to us via email, Facebook or WhatsApp.
• It is the customers full responsibility to notify us of any symptoms or cases within their home.
