Moving House – Tips & Advice
- The total volume of the household items included in your move.
- The travel time and mileage between your current and new property.
- The access and parking at both properties.
- If you would like our removal team to pack your contents.
- Any items that will require professional protection or packing.
During the home survey it is essential to inform the surveyor of all household items to be moved including those items in the shed, loft and garage. The surveyor will discuss a schedule for your moving day in full after looking into factors such as the travel time and mileage between your current and new address and the ease of access and parking at both addresses. They will discuss the packing preferences for the move and following this, a quotation for your removal will be created. You should inform the surveyor of any building alterations that may be an issue when moving larger items from and to each residence.
- You should make note of the contents on each box you pack along with which room the items are located in. This will ensure that you can keep track of which items you have packed and will make it easier to locate these items once you have moved into your new property.
- Keep important documents such as passports and driving licenses to hand and be sure that you do not leave them in our care.
- Valuable items such as jewellery and money are specifically excluded from transit insurance cover. Be sure to personally carry items such as money on the day of the move.
- Do not over pack cartons and make them too heavy.
- Keep young children’s favorite toys easily accessible to avoid any extra stress on the moving day.
- Special book cartons for a large quantity of books can be supplied if required.
Please note that if it has been agreed that you will pack all household contents yourself, and this has not been completed on your moving date, any delays as a result of this are subject to a delay charge.
You should inform us as soon as your completion date has been confirmed so that we can confirm and settle the moving day schedule. All parties should then be made aware of your moving date, including any doctors, schools, dentists and other important facilities.
It is important to make the Post Office aware of your new residence 7 days prior to your move so that all mail is sent to the correct address, and any outstanding bills or subscriptions should be paid off.
You should arrange to have both gas and electricity meters read on the day of your move, and ensure that they are shut off at the mains before you vacate.
We will do all that we can to make sure that your vehicle and crew arrive at the loading and delivery address at the agreed time, however please consider that they are subject to traffic delays. All of our drivers are supplied with mobile phones and have been instructed to notify clients of any potential delays if they arise.

What People Say
I just wanted to say thank you very much indeed. Having lived in the same home for more than 30 years the idea of moving was very daunting for many reasons. Cambridge Removals and Storage made our removal a manageable and stress free experience from the beginning to the end. The surveyor put us at ease straight away, explained our options and didn’t makes us feel under pressure at all; we were able to choose the services available to suit us. The office staff were very helpful and reassuring and the removal men involved at each stage of our move were hard working, efficient and thoughtful.
Overall the hardest and most important thing to me was seeing all our possessions that have remained the same for such a long time being packed away. This is because regardless of them being material things they hold so many memories of our children growing up. It was very reassuring to see our things being taken care of and returned to us the same as we left them. Thank you very much you’ve all made moving a much easier thing to do and I especially want to say a huge thank you to the removal men, they were great.
I wanted to say how absolutely delighted we were with our move on Thursday. In spite of the lorry being too long to back up the drive the team set about transferring everything to the house by constantly crossing the road. They were extremely friendly and efficient, and moved the stuff from 6 The Grange by carrying it round. Please pass on our thanks to the very professional team. And also a very big thank you to you for organising everything for us and relieving us of lots of potential worry. We are very grateful. All good wishes.
The first part of our removal took place in the summer, where most of our possessions were packed up and taken into the Cambridge store. Close to Christmas and at very short notice we contacted Cambridge Removals to ask for some of our furniture to be delivered to our new property (we had gone from a 4 bed house in the Cambridgeshire area to a 2 bed flat in South London), we knew that we weren’t going to fit everything in. The staff were very accommodating and organized this part of our move quickly, even managing to provide some of the same men from our original move to storage. The guys were great and worked well under difficult circumstances as parking in this part of London is quite tricky.
