How Does the
Process Work?
Survey & Quote
We begin with a free quote. We can visit your property for a survey or you can send a quick video survey. This allows us to assess what needs moving and provide a clear and competitive quote.
Packing
We can pack your items safely and securely, or if you prefer to pack yourself, we will supply everything you need. We also dismantle any furniture that requires it and ensure it's protected accordingly in transit. We'll always take extra care with fragile goods and have all the right packing requirements to ensure your belongings stay protected in transit.
Transport
Your belongings will then be loaded carefully into the van and transported to your new home! We will place items in the correct rooms and reassemble furniture if needed.
Frequently Asked Questions
What Areas Do We Cover Nationwide?
We provide home removals across the UK, from Manchester and the North West to relocations in major cities nationwide, including London, Birmingham, Leeds, Liverpool, Sheffield, Glasgow, Edinburgh, and more.
Even if your move starts or ends outside the North West, we can provide a tailored solution anywhere in the UK. Contact us today to discuss your relocation.
Do You Offer Packing Services or Supplies?
Yes! When you choose Soldiers On The Move for your home or office relocation, we provide packing supplies and boxes at no extra cost.
For most moves, we recommend letting our professional team handle the packing. With extensive experience in protecting delicate goods and maximizing space, we can reduce delays and make your move as smooth as possible.
We also offer specialist packaging materials, including TV boxes and protective wrapping for high-end furniture, keeping your possessions free from dust, dirt, and scratches.
Do You Offer Long Term / Short Term Storage?
Yes! We provide both short- and long-term storage options at our secure facility, conveniently located at our headquarters: Unit 7 Sidcup Rd, Wythenshawe, Manchester M23 9PH.
If your move can’t be completed immediately, we can safely store your furniture and belongings for as long as needed (subject to charges). Access to the storage facility is available between 9am and 5pm.
For more details, visit our Long & Short-Term Storage page or contact our team directly.
Do We Charge for Key Waits?
Unlike many other removals companies, we do not charge for key waits. If you choose to move with us, any additional delays are covered (within limits) in your final quoted cost.
Can We Dispose Of Unwanted Goods/Furniture/Waste?
We can’t directly. We are not equipped with a waste license. However, if you require waste disposal, we work alongside partners that can get the job done for you.
If your domestic or commercial move requires waste disposal, let us know and we’ll factor this into your quote/survey.
How Big Are the Vans?
There’s no move too big for Soldiers On The Move.
We have an immediate fleet of Luton box vans and tail lift access. If your move requires a HGV, we can also accommodate through our trusted partners. If you have additional accessibility or capacity concerns, don’t hesitate to contact us directly and speak to one of our team.
Are we Insured?
Yes. Fully insured and licensed.
What Time will we Arrive?
On the day of your move, our team will always aim to be there bright and early (usually between 8:30am and 9am) though this is entirely flexible depending on our customer requirements. If you need us to get there even earlier than 8:30am, we’ll be more than happy to accommodate (as long as you’ve got the kettle on!)
Please note: Availability may vary on long distance moves due to scheduling requirements.
What are your Cancellation Terms?
Unlike many other removal firms, we don’t take a deposit. If you’ve booked in and confirmed with us and need to change the date of your move, please get in touch with us and we’ll always try and accommodate.
If your booking has been confirmed and you cancel within 5 working days of your move, you may be subject to an administrative charge. This is reviewed on a case by case basis and not always applicable. Simple delays and date changes can always be accommodated. If you’re unsure, just get in touch with us and we’ll talk you through the process.
Do we Provide Discounts for NHS / Ex Military?
We offer a 10% discount for ex/active military and NHS staff. We do not offer this discount to Blue Light card holders.
How Soon Can You Move Us?
We will always try and accommodate quick turnarounds, so if you have an urgent removal requirement, please call us today (0161 327 1981) or get in touch. If your move isn’t for the foreseeable but you’d like to book it in anyway, we’ll usually take a provisional date from you and follow up closer to the time.
Veteran Owned, Community Driven
At Soldiers On The Move, community and giving back is at the heart of everything we do. One of our key initiatives is helping ex-servicemen transition from military careers to normal civilian lifestyle with the same camaraderie and discipline they would’ve experienced whilst in active service.
“The majority of our team consist of armed forces veterans and we’re happy to continuously welcome veterans through our door, whether they’re here as a stepping stone or for the long haul. If you’re interested in a career with Soldiers On The Move, don’t hesitate to get in touch with us today.”
