Moving out,
made simple
Houses, flats, offices and single rooms, anywhere in the UK. We look at the job properly, write down what we are going to do, and then do that. It is not complicated — it is just done carefully.
- Careful handling, wrapped in the room
- A written plan before anything moves
- Nationwide, and into Europe
No account, no sign-up, no obligation. A person reads what you send and comes back to you.
- Moving out of
- Two-bed flat, second floor, no lift
- Moving in to
- Three-bed semi, driveway, straightforward
- The plan
- Four crew for the stairs, two for the unload
- Included
- Full pack, dismantle and rebuild, materials
Every quote looks like this before it has a price on it.
Why bother being this plain about it
Most moves go wrong for boring reasons
Nobody looked at the stairs. The crew was two people short. The price changed on the morning, when saying no was not really an option. None of that is bad luck — it is a firm that quoted without looking, and it is completely avoidable.
So we look, we write it down, and we send the number the job actually costs.
- Surveyed before quoted
- Named crew, both ends
- Written scope, no surprises
The process
How OOT moves you
Five steps, and none of them a surprise. This is the whole service — there is no clever bit we have left out to make it sound simpler than it is.
- 01
Tell us what is moving
A list, a few photographs, or a walk round on video. Enough for us to see the rooms, the stairs and the street rather than guess at them.
- 02
We plan it and write it down
Crew, vehicle, materials and what is included — on paper, before you commit to anything. If something changes it, you hear about it first.
- 03
We pack and protect
Furniture blanketed in the room it stands in. Glass, pictures and the awkward things properly cased. Floors and doorways covered at both ends.
- 04
We load and drive
The same crew, loading in an order that makes the unload easy. Across town or across the country, the load is packed for the journey it is making.
- 05
We set you down
Boxes in the room on the label, beds rebuilt where you want them, packaging taken away. Nobody leaves until you have walked round.
-
That is genuinely it
No stages we have invented to fill a page. If your move needs something extra — storage, a long haul, a customs inventory — it slots in and we tell you where.

What we move
Whatever it is, we have done it before
House removals
Whole homes, start to finish.
A named crew, furniture wrapped in the room it stands in, and a written plan agreed before the day so nothing about it is a surprise.
Read moreFlat & apartment removals
Stairs, lifts and loading bays.
The route out gets planned first, because in a flat that decides the day far more than how much furniture there is.
Read moreMan and van
A room, a part load, one big thing.
One or two people and the right-sized van, priced by the job rather than by a clock you have to watch.
Read moreOffice & business removals
Out of hours, back open on Monday.
Desks, IT and cabinets crated and labelled by position, moved in a window that does not cost you a trading day.
Read moreLong distance & nationwide
One crew, both ends.
Cross-country moves loaded for the distance, driven within proper hours, and unloaded by the people who packed it.
Read moreEuropean removals
UK to France, Spain, Italy and Portugal.
Road moves out through the Channel with the customs paperwork prepared on your behalf before you travel.
Read moreWhere we cover
Nationwide, across the United Kingdom. That is a deliberate answer rather than a vague one — we are not a town firm with a radius drawn round it, and we are not going to publish a list of two hundred places we have never worked in.
What that means in practice — including when a firm on your own street is the better call — is on the coverage page.
How coverage worksRegions worked
- London and the South East
- The South West
- East Anglia
- The Midlands
- The North West
- Yorkshire and the North East
- Wales
- Scotland
Plus road moves out of the UK to France, Spain, Italy and Portugal.
Plain dealing
Three things you will not find here
A removals website is an easy place to print things nobody can check. We would rather the site were quieter and true.
How we work- No star ratings
- Nothing on this site links to a review score, because we are not going to print one you cannot go and check. When there are real reviews from real customers, they will appear with somewhere to verify them.
- No badges we have not earned
- Trade body logos, certification marks and award ribbons are easy to paste onto a page and hard to verify. There are none here. If that changes, it changes with something verifiable behind it.
- No price before somebody has looked
- A figure given from a web form is a figure that gets revised later, usually when you have committed and cannot easily refuse. We survey, then we quote, and the written number is the one you pay.
Out of the country
Removals from the UK to Europe
Four routes, by road, with the customs paperwork prepared before you travel. Since Brexit a household move into the EU is a customs movement — we handle that part, and we tell you exactly which documents are yours to get.
European removalsFrance
The short crossing, then whatever distance you choose. Second homes, retirements and job moves.
UK to France →Spain
Down through France and in at Irun or Le Perthus. The Costas, Valencia and the towns inland.
UK to Spain →Italy
Over the Alps or round the coast. Milan and Turin for work, Tuscany for the house.
UK to Italy →Portugal
The longest of the four. The Algarve, Lisbon and the Silver Coast.
UK to Portugal →The questions we get first
More on the FAQ page — packing, storage, heavy items, insurance and what we will not put in the van.
Where are you based?
We work nationwide rather than from a single high street, and we are not going to invent a home town to look local in a search result. What matters for your move is whether we can get the right crew and vehicle to your address on your date — and that is a scheduling question rather than a map one.
How do you work out what a move costs?
Volume, distance, access and how much packing you want us to do. Access is the one people forget: a second-floor flat with no lift takes longer than a bungalow holding exactly the same furniture. We look at both ends before quoting, so the written figure is the figure.
Do you survey every move?
In some form, yes. A video walk-round covers most jobs and takes a few minutes; anything larger or more awkward gets a visit. It is the only reason a quote can be firm rather than a starting point somebody intends to revise.
Do you pack for us?
Whichever suits. We pack everything, we pack the half nobody enjoys — kitchen, glass, pictures — or we drop materials off in advance so you can do it yourself. Most people take the middle option.
Can you move us abroad?
To France, Spain, Italy and Portugal, by road, with the customs paperwork prepared before you travel. Those four are the routes we run regularly and know the paperwork for — we would rather be straight about the limits than list twenty countries.
Tell us about the move
Two addresses and a few lines about the access. We will come back to arrange a look and put something written together.
