Free Home Survey across London, done properly
Some moves are too big or too complex to price from a form alone. Our free home survey is a no-obligation visit (or video survey) so we can see your inventory, access and parking with our own eyes — and give you a quote you can trust.
A surveyor walks through with you, notes bulky items, stairs and carry distances, and flags anything that might affect the crew or van size. You get a clear written quote afterwards, with no pressure to book on the spot.
Ideal for larger homes, awkward access, pianos or anything where you’d rather be exact than guess. Book a survey, get your number, then decide in your own time.
What's included as standard
We believe the price you're quoted should be the price you pay. That's why every free home survey booking comes with the essentials built in — no surprise charges bolted on when the crew arrives.
- No-obligation home or video survey
- Inventory and access assessment
- Advice on van size and crew numbers
- Parking and permit pointers for your street
- Written fixed quote after the visit
- Completely free — no hidden survey fee

How it works, step by step
We’ve refined our process across London moves every week to keep everything simple and predictable. Here’s exactly what happens from your first enquiry through to completion.
- 1
Get your free quote

Confirm your booking
Pick a date and time that suits you. A small deposit is only asked when you confirm the booking — it comes off your final balance. We’ll send a confirmation with everything you need to prepare, plus a friendly reminder as the day approaches.

We prepare and protect
On the day, our uniformed crew arrives on time with blankets, straps and trolleys. We protect floors, doorways and furniture before anything is lifted, so your home and your belongings stay in perfect condition.

Careful transport
Your items are loaded, secured and driven safely to the destination by an experienced London driver who knows the boroughs, the permit zones and the quickest routes at any time of day.

Unload and settle in
We place everything exactly where you want it, reassemble anything we took apart and only leave once you’re completely happy. Payment is taken on completion — simple and stress-free.

What affects the price
A few practical factors move the final number up or down. Knowing them in advance helps you plan and, in many cases, keep costs lower:
- The volume of items and the size of van required
- How many crew members or helpers you need
- Access at both addresses — stairs, lifts and carry distance
- Total mileage beyond the first 10 included miles
- Timing — evenings, weekends, bank holidays and same-day bookings
- Optional extras such as packing, dismantling or storage

What customers say
The crew wrapped every piece of furniture and had us moved across town before lunch. Fixed price with no surprises — the most stress-free move we've ever had.
Alena CartyCamden, LondonPolite, quick and genuinely careful with every single box. They got a huge sofa up a narrow staircase without a scratch. Couldn't recommend them more.

Yes. There’s no charge for the survey and no obligation to book. If you do book, the quote from the survey is the one we work to.
Usually 20–40 minutes depending on the size of the property. Video surveys are often quicker and still accurate for many jobs.
Typically the same day or within one working day of the survey, sent by email or WhatsApp with a clear breakdown.
