Services

One room or four floors of office, the same care.

Every move starts with a survey. The inventory, packing method, vehicle and crew size are written into your survey report before you agree to anything.

Moving day

Four steps, one crew, no surprises.

The crew who knock on your door in the morning are the ones putting up your last shelf that evening. Nobody changes in between.

  1. 07:30

    Packing

    Breakables go into bubble wrap and divided cartons. Pictures and mirrors get wooden crates made to measure.

  2. 09:00

    Loading

    Every box is numbered and logged. Heavy items go at the bottom, delicate ones on strapped shelves.

  3. 10:00 - 16:00

    On the road

    A tracked lorry and two drivers. The load is checked at every stop and you get a photo update by text.

  4. 17:00

    Settling in

    Furniture is rebuilt, lights and curtains go up, and the empty boxes and packing waste leave with us.

Why Homeward

We move your things as if they were our own.

  1. Fully insured moves

    Every move carries goods in transit cover for the value on your inventory. You have the certificate before moving day.

  2. Our own trained crew

    No day labourers. Our team of 38 retrain every year in packing and furniture assembly.

  3. Wooden crates and proper boxes

    We build crates to measure for art, mirrors and marble. Our double wall boxes are made to be used again.

  4. On time, or money back

    If we miss the delivery day in your contract, we refund five percent of the move for every day we are late.

Customer reviews

What they wrote once they had moved in.

Average of 1,240 reviews

They moved our three bed house to Harrogate, piano and all. Not a single glass broken, and they even unpacked the kitchen into the cupboards.
Sophie W.Clapham → Harrogate, 3 bed
The invoice matched the survey quote to the penny. First time that has ever happened to me with a removals firm.
James P.Hackney → Walthamstow, 2 bed
They packed up the office on Friday evening, and by nine on Monday everyone was at their own desk logging in.
Priya N.Shoreditch → King's Cross, 24 desks
They stored my mum's furniture for three months and sent photos every month. Everything came back in its sealed crate.
Tom H.Islington, storage
The sofa came down from the ninth floor on the external lift without anyone breaking a sweat. Moving with two children has never been this calm.

Moving guide

Your own checklist, lighter with every tick.

What we have learnt from thousands of moves. Tap an item to tick it off and see what is left.

    Moving boxes stacked up in a room full of house plants
    • 01

      Put books in small boxes. A big box full of books is a box nobody can lift.

    • 02

      Write the room on the side of the box, not the top. You can still read it once they are stacked.

    • 03

      Pack a first night box: chargers, towels, tea, medicines and a set of clean bedding.

    Questions

    What people ask before they move.

    If your question is not here, give us a ring and one of our surveyors will answer it there and then.

    A surveyor comes at a time that suits you, lists your things room by room and notes the floor, lift access and parking. It takes about 30 minutes, and we can do it by video call too. Your quote arrives by email the same day.

    Packing materials, dismantling and reassembly, transport, insurance and taking away the packing waste are each listed in the quote. Nothing that is not in the quote appears on moving day.

    We check everything with you on delivery. Any damage is noted on the delivery sheet and we handle the claim with the insurer. Small repairs are done at your home by our restorer within seven days.

    A week is usually enough for a local move and two weeks for a long-distance one. Fridays, the end of the month and the summer are busy, so for those dates call us three to four weeks ahead.

    A 20% deposit secures your date and the balance is due after delivery. We take card or bank transfer.

    Yes. We hold goods in transit and public liability insurance, and every move runs under our written terms and conditions. We show you the certificates at the survey.
