Questions to ask a removal company in Oldham before you book

Choosing a mover in Oldham is easier when you ask the same clear questions of every company - insurance, access, timing and what the quote includes.

Checklist notes before booking a home removal in Oldham

Picking a home removal company should not feel like guesswork. Oldham streets mix steep terraces, Metrolink-side flats and wider estates, so the right questions matter more than a glossy homepage. Use this list before you book anyone - including us - then compare answers side by side.

For the wider service picture, start with Oldham removals and our house removals in Oldham page.

Questions about the quote

  • What exactly is included: crew size, vehicle type, blankets, dismantling, packing materials?
  • How long is the quotation valid? Ours stay valid for 3 months from issue.
  • What adds cost on the day: stairs beyond an agreed level, long carries, parking fees, waiting for keys?
  • Is VAT shown clearly?

Questions about insurance and liability

  • Is goods-in-transit cover provided, and what is the limit per vehicle load?
  • What is the public liability limit?
  • How are cosmetic scratches handled versus items damaged beyond use?

Insurance is provided on our moves. Read the detail in our terms and conditions before you pay a deposit.

Questions about your Oldham addresses

  • Have you moved streets like mine before - for example Failsworth terraces or Chadderton estates?
  • What do you need from me on parking suspensions or loading bays?
  • Will you survey by phone, video or visit for awkward access?

Questions about the day itself

  • What arrival window do you give? We work to a 3-hour arrival slot.
  • Must I be present for the whole collection and delivery?
  • What happens if I cancel within 72 hours of the booked date?

Questions about payment

  • When is payment due - on arrival, on completion, or by schedule?
  • Is there a card surcharge for phone payments?
  • What happens if payment is late?

Frequently asked questions

Should I always get more than one quote?

Yes, if you can. Send the same inventory and access notes so the numbers are comparable.

What if completion slips?

Ask how date changes work and how long the written quote stays valid. Ours remain valid for three months from issue.

Do you cover hillside terraces?

Yes. Tell us about steps, parking distance and floor levels so the crew size matches the street.
