A surveyor conducts a room-by-room assessment to determine the volume of items for transport. This includes electronic documentation via tablet or a self-service video survey option. The process ensures accurate quotations and tailored moving plans, helping customers understand logistics and costs before committing to services.
Packing Service
Fully trained teams use breathable bubble wrap and double-lined boxes to protect items during transit. The service covers export packing, fragile item handling, and customised solutions for international moves. This ensures belongings arrive undamaged, with options for full or partial packing based on client needs.

Questions
What's the average cost of moving home?
A 3-bedroom house move within 20 miles costs around £800. Smaller properties range from £350–500, while larger homes may exceed £1,500.
How can I save money on removals?
Decluttering reduces volume, and choosing mid-week moves lowers costs. Booking 4–6 weeks in advance also helps secure competitive rates.
What day of the week is cheapest for removals?
Tuesday or Wednesday moves are typically cheaper due to lower demand compared to weekends.
Do you pay upfront for home removals?
Payment is usually required before the move date, safeguarded by BAR's Advanced Payment Guarantee.
How far in advance should I book a removal company?
Book 4–6 weeks ahead, or earlier during peak summer months to ensure availability.

A long distance move with the RAF made less stressful by White and Company Forres. Patrick, Adam and Kev were personable, thoughtful and very cheerful guys. In 25 years and 12 moves this has been by far the best. Can't thank the guys enough and of course Dave who communicated with us throughout.

this is the absolute worst company ever! Every single time I turn around I am getting charged additional fees after I even asked before booking them, if there would be any additional fees! So far I am paying 6,000 USD on top of the 9,000 s I have already paid. they use third party companies for everything who charge fee after fee! The packing of my 300+ yr old antiques was pathetic. I wouldn't recommend this company to move even so much as a spoon. Go with someone else!!!!!

Five out of five stars from me. Excellent service from the first contact to when they left us in our new home. Telephone communications always polite and helpful, the online video tour of our old house was done via video call and worked well in lockdown. Their range of boxes that we could use were of great quality, and the removal service itself went without a hitch. All employees on our removal day were kind and down to earth. If we ever moved again (which I vow never to do!) we would choose White & Company PLC in a heartbeat.
