The Core Service: Loading, Transport and Unloading

At its core, a removal company loads your belongings safely into a van, transports them to your new address, and unloads them — carrying furniture and boxes in and placing them in the rooms you want, rather than just dropping them at the door.

Packing Services

Many removal companies, including RedRoute, offer packing as an optional add-on — either packing your whole home or just the fragile, awkward items you'd rather leave to professionals.

Furniture Dismantling and Assembly

Larger furniture like beds, wardrobes and flat-pack units often needs to be taken apart to move safely and put back together at the other end. This is usually offered as part of a full-service move.

Protecting Your Belongings and Property

A professional team will use blankets, straps and protective covers to protect both your furniture and the walls, floors and doorways of both properties during the move.

What's Usually Not Included

Deep cleaning, disconnecting appliances such as washing machines or gas cookers, and some specialist items — pianos, safes — may need to be arranged separately or flagged in advance, so it's worth checking when you get your quote.
