What to check before you book

Before you commit to any removals company in Chester, run through this short list:

1. Insurance. Confirm they carry goods in transit and public liability cover, and ask what is included if something is damaged.

2. A proper quote. Look for a clear written quote, ideally after a home survey or a video survey, rather than a rough number over the phone.

3. Reviews. Check recent reviews on independent platforms like Google, not just the testimonials on their own site.

4. Clearance and waste. If your move involves clearing a property, check whether they are a licensed waste carrier so items are disposed of legally.

5. Pricing clarity. Ask whether the quote is fixed and what could change it, so there are no surprises on the day.

6. Coverage and availability. Make sure they genuinely cover your Chester address and have your date free.

FAQs

How much do house removals in Chester cost?

It depends on the size of the property, how far you are moving, and whether you need packing or storage. The most reliable way to know is to get a quote based on your actual move rather than a generic price. We are happy to give you a clear figure with no obligation.

How far in advance should I book a removals company?

For a standard house move, two to four weeks ahead is sensible, and longer in busy periods like the end of the month or summer. If your date is flexible, booking early gives you more choice.

What should I check before booking?

Insurance, a clear written quote, recent independent reviews, and whether the company actually covers your area. The checklist above walks through each point.

Are removal companies in Chester insured?

Reputable firms carry goods in transit and public liability insurance, but cover levels vary, so always ask. Mr Move It carries goods in transit cover and £2 million public liability.

Is Mr Move It based in Chester?

We are based in Wirral and cover Chester and the surrounding area as a core part of our service, so you get a local team without a city-centre premium.
