  • Check any credential evidence, and that the business details independently check out.
  • Get a written quote and keep guarantee, insurance and payment terms in writing.
  • Run the Cowboy Checker before you commit to anyone.

How to judge a removals / moving company

Independent, no-ads guidance. The trade-specific checks that matter most, the warning signs, and what to ask before you hire. Use it alongside each trader’s public evidence above.

Verify before you hire

  • Check whether the company is a member of BAR (British Association of Removers): their Advance Payment Guarantee protects your deposit if the firm goes bust.
  • Look up the company on NGRS (National Guild of Removers and Storers): members pass independent inspections and are enrolled with the RIOS Ombudsman for disputes.
  • Confirm they carry goods-in-transit insurance; BAR and NGRS membership is the clearest public proof this is in place.
  • Check Companies House to verify the company is still active and has been trading for at least a few years: recently formed with few reviews is a warning sign.

Warning signs of a cowboy

  • They quote a price over the phone without offering a free home or video survey: reputable firms always survey before quoting.
  • They ask for a large cash deposit with no written confirmation or receipt, and no mention of deposit protection.
  • The price jumps sharply on moving day once your belongings are loaded: a documented rogue-mover tactic, with belongings held until you pay.
  • The company has no BAR, NGRS, or Which? Trusted Traders membership and very few reviews across independent sources.

Questions to ask before you hire

  • Are you a member of BAR or NGRS, and is my deposit covered by the BAR Advance Payment Guarantee?
  • What goods-in-transit insurance do you carry, and what is the maximum payout per item if something is damaged?
  • Do you offer a free home or video survey before giving a final written quote?
  • Are there any potential extra charges, such as stairs, long carries, parking permits or congestion zones, that could change the final price?

Frequently asked questions

How do I choose a trustworthy removals / moving company?
Compare the public evidence on each profile: how many independent reviews they have and across how many named sources, the rating and how recent it is, any credential evidence, and the company status. A removals / moving company backed by several named sources is harder to fake than one found in only one place.
Does MyTrustedTraders rank or recommend removals / moving companies for payment?
No. There are no ads and no paid placement. Removals / moving companies are ranked only by the strength of independent public evidence. No one can pay to rank higher, add a badge, or change their reviews.
Where do the reviews come from?
They're imported from named public review sources and always shown with the source named. They aren't reviews written on MyTrustedTraders. We cross-check the same business across sources rather than creating new reviews.
What should I check before hiring a removals / moving company?
Confirm credentials and insurance directly with the removals / moving company, get a written quote, and run the Cowboy Checker on the business first. MyTrustedTraders helps you shortlist on the evidence. It doesn't replace your own checks before you hire.
