How we handle your details

Inventory

What can we help with?

  1. Home removals

    A whole household on to a lorry, driven to the new address and carried in: beds taken apart and rebuilt, boxes to the right rooms, the lorry parked where it can be. Describe the move and, with consent, one local removals firm covering your postcode receives it, if one does.

    About home removals
  2. Flat and small moves

    A studio, a one or two bedroom flat, a single room in a shared house or a parent moving into somewhere smaller. Lifts, stairs, door entry systems and where the van stops matter more than the number of boxes. With consent, the details go to one local firm covering your postcode, if one does.

  3. Packing and unpacking

    A crew that brings the boxes and paper, wraps and packs each room before moving day, and unpacks at the other end if you want. What they include, what you should always keep with you, and what to ask about boxes afterwards. With consent, it goes to one local firm, if one covers your postcode.

  4. Moving single and heavy items

    A piano to a new flat, a sofa bought across town, a fridge freezer, a wardrobe for a student or a treadmill for the garage. Why stairs and doorways matter more than weight, how pianos are moved, and what to do about gas cookers. With consent, one local firm hears of it, if one covers your postcode.

Moving day

How it works

  1. Tell us about the move

    Where you are moving from and to, how many rooms, anything awkward such as a piano or a third-floor flat, and the date you are aiming for if you have one.

  2. We look for a firm that covers your postcode

    If a local removals firm takes work in your area and you have agreed, that one firm receives what you wrote. If nobody does, we tell you and your details go nowhere.

  3. You and the firm take it from there

    Expect the firm to contact you, often to arrange a survey of what needs moving. The date, the price and the terms are settled between you and them.

Heavy things go at the bottom, plates travel on their edge with paper between them, and the lightest, most breakable things go on top. Writing the room on each box saves time at the other end.

Before you enquire

Useful to have to hand

None of this is needed to send an enquiry, but it helps the mover understand the move sooner.

  • Where from and where to

    Both addresses or postcodes, which floor each home is on, and whether there is a lift.

  • Roughly how much there is

    The number of bedrooms, or a list of the big items: beds, sofas, wardrobes, the fridge and the washing machine.

  • When you would like to move

    The date if you have one, or a rough week, and whether it depends on a completion date or a tenancy ending.

  • Getting in and out

    Parking near each door, narrow stairs or doorways, and how far a van can get from the front door.

  • Anything heavy or awkward

    A piano, a safe, an American-style fridge or furniture that was built in the room. Say so, and the mover can plan for it.

Questions

Before you enquire

What is Hemel and Watford Removals?

An independent enquiry service for people moving home in and around Hemel Hempstead and Watford. We are not a removals firm, we own no lorries and nobody from us turns up on the day. If you agree, your enquiry goes to a removals firm nearby that takes on work in your postcode, where one does.

What if nobody covers my postcode?

We tell you, and your details are not passed to anyone. What you do next is up to you, and we hold nothing back from you to use later.

Will this site give me a quote?

No. We give no prices and no estimates, and we cannot say what any move will cost. The firm that receives your enquiry will usually want to see what you have, in person or by video, before putting a figure on it.

Can my enquiry go to several firms so I can compare?

No. Each enquiry goes to one local firm, and only with your consent. If you want to compare, you are free to approach other firms yourself in the usual way.

Can the firm store my things between homes?

Some removals firms can arrange storage and some cannot. We do not know in advance what the firm covering your postcode offers, so ask them directly and get what they say in writing.

Does it cost anything to send an enquiry?

Nothing. Sending one does not commit you to any firm or any job. Whatever you agree afterwards is between you and the firm.
