Services
House Removals
We provide comprehensive house removal services for properties up to four bedrooms. Our team uses purpose-built vehicles with easy access ramps and side loading doors to accommodate various property types. Each removal includes site surveys for accurate pricing, professional packing services, and optional dismantling/reassembly of furniture. Our service covers local and nationwide moves with transparent pricing structures based on time and volume requirements.
Storage Solutions
Our storage options include shipping containers, warehouse crates, and self-storage units. Containerised storage offers cost-effective long-term solutions while warehouse storage minimises handling for short-term needs. All storage options maintain temperature-controlled environments with restricted access. We handle loading/unloading processes to ensure item security and provide insurance options for stored goods through partnered providers.
House Clearances
We offer full or partial property clearances including bereavement and business clearances. Our licensed waste carriers prioritise reuse and recycling while maintaining discretion during sensitive clearances. Services include valuation of antiques to offset costs, council collection coordination, and preparation of items for disposal. A minimum fee applies with site surveys required for accurate quotations on clearance projects.
Packing Services
Professional packing services utilise heavy-duty double-wall boxes and protective materials. We supply pre-used boxes at cost price with optional bubble wrap and packing paper. Our team offers full packing/unpacking services either pre-move or on removal day. Specialised packing solutions include wardrobe boxes and custom wrapping for fragile items, ensuring maximum protection during transportation.
Furniture Handling
Specialist handling covers challenging items like pianos, large wardrobes, and oversized furniture. We provide dismantling/reassembly services for beds, wardrobes, and sofas with fixed pricing for common operations. Additional charges apply for forced entry of oversized items to prevent property damage. Our team assesses access requirements during site surveys to determine optimal moving strategies.

Ian and his team were exceptional. Our move was a little unusual, location wise, but Ian factored this in and everything went smoothly. We used Husseys for our last 2 moves and the lads are great. We're just sorry to have moved out of the area. Well definitely be recommending Husseys to friends and family in North Tyneside.

For our big move from Newcastle up to Glasgow, Ian was a great help and expertly assessed how many boxes we would need for moving. On the day of the move, they were very speedy and efficient, took care not to damage anything despite us having some delicate possessions, and finished everything ahead of time and with great professionalism and service. Absolutely worth the money, I highly recommend going with Hussey Removals for anyone moving into, out of, or around the Northeast!

The lads moved us last week and I have nothing but high praise to share about them. They were very professional, polite and provided an excellent service. Although they had to wait for a couple of hours in the afternoon as the sale was going through they were outstanding. I would wholeheartedly recommend to friends and family.

Ian and his team were fantastic from quotation to delivery of our final item. I find it easier to communicate via email when I am at work and I always received prompt responses and clear information. Unfortunately I had to rearrange my removal day as our completion date changed last minute, Ian was extremely understanding and able to accommodate our new date at short notice. The team were professional, friendly and calming!
They arrived at our new house in time for the midday completion and did not grumble when the sellers were delayed by about an hour! They unpacked, went to collect more belongings from another address for us and did everything so professionally. They even built a little bridge from the van to the door, placed cardboard on the floor, etc to prevent bringing mud into the house on a rainy day. I would recommend this team to anyone moving house.

Used Husseys to move a bed, heavy furniture, tables etc from Gosforth to the coast. Arrived promptly and everything was soon loaded into their van and transported to new location. We cannot recommend them highly enough. They even unloaded all items from my car. Very cheerful chaps and will definety use them again if ever needed a removal Company.

Hussys moved us into a pedestrianised street with an awkward back lane, they used two vans and heaps of men and got it all done with no problems. You could tell the men all worked together well, they were polite and smart and good banter to have around. They are a local firm, for local people and I would recommend them in a heartbeat.
