Frequently Asked Questions

We know you’ve got some questions, so we’ve taken the time to answer the most common ones below. If there’s anything else you need to know, we’re just a phone call away.

To enable us to get an accurate price for your move, we will either come out and take a look, or ask you to create a video for us. The price will depend on a number of factors, not just the amount of items you have, but also the distance between parking and the main door, the overall mileage from our base to your property and then to your new home and back to our base, the type of premises, how many stairs there are and the nature of the items that are needing to be moved.

Our crew will put your belongings into the relevant rooms, as directed by you. If you are not able to be present for any reason, we will speak to you about this before arriving at the new property.

We would prefer it if they were all taped shut, to enable easier packing into the van, meaning we can get more of your items into the van, as we are unable to stack on top of open boxes.

We would recommend you put your clothes in hanging garment boxes, available to purchase online.

Yes, it needs to be packaged appropriately, as if it is loose, it won’t be covered by the insurance.

Yes, we recommend you put a tea towel or similar in the drip tray at the back of the fridge freezer, unless it’s enclosed, to prevent the waste water covering your kitchen floor. The washing machine will need to be unplumbed, disconnected and drained of any water, ready for us to cover and put into the van. Cookers will also need to be disconnected beforehand.

Unfortunately, we can’t transport dangerous/hazardous items, due to insurance reasons. We can move gardening equipment, but fuel will need to be drained from lawnmowers and strimmers etc.

Yes, this can be done at an extra cost, but we need to know beforehand so that we can allow the extra time and bring the necessary tools.

No, that’s what we’re there for, so you don’t have to.

Due to insurances, we can’t allow anyone else in the back of the van for loading purposes. Unfortunately, insurance restrictions also apply to the cab area, so it isn’t possible to travel with us as a passenger. We are happy to wait for you to arrive at the new house, or we can go on ahead with the keys, if you have them, and start unloading the van before you arrive.

Circumstances may require that your belongings are loaded onto the van the day before moving your belongings from A to B. If this is necessary, we take all possible steps to make sure that your belongings are safe and secure. They would be kept in a secure compound overnight, which is comprehensively covered by CCTV and has onsite 24-hour security.

Testimonials

Check out some of our latest 5-star reviews from happy customers…

We recently used Magpie Removals for our move from Cornwall to Bristol. They were absolutely brilliant in every way. Fliss went to great lengths to accommodate the date we needed despite us having to let her down several times at the last minute. They were professional but friendly and ensured that everything was packed into the van extremely carefully and safely. Everything arrived intact and in perfect condition. It was refreshing to deal with someone who put customer service and satisfaction as a priority. I would recommend Magpie Removals 100% and wouldn’t hesitate to use them again if the occasion ever arose.

Carol H

Fliss and the team were absolutely fantastic. I moved at relatively short notice and was still throwing things in boxes when the crew were loading the vans – this didn’t phase them in the slightest! Fliss then collected some other items for me at short notice, which I am incredibly grateful for. Timely, professional, considerate, incredibly helpful at the new house and a great laugh too. Thanks so much Fliss, Edd & Josh, you made a very stressful time so, so much easier.

Row

Amazing service by Fliss and her team! They were super friendly and helpful throughout the day helping me move from Hayle to Penryn. My furniture and belongings were handled with care. They were reliable and above all super friendly. So highly recommend her service and will book again if I need help moving house or picking up heavy furniture. I would give 100 stars if I could.

Janina

Wow Fliss, talk about going above and beyond! Thanks so much to you and Edd for collecting the furniture I needed from all over the place and delivering safely and cheerfully! Can’t recommend you highly enough and a great price too. I’d give you 6 stars if I could!

Sandra

Can’t recommend Magpie enough. Fliss and Josh are friendly, efficient, careful and just made my house move run so smoothly – they went out of their way to help get everything sorted and make moving day easy and enjoyable! Great value for money as well and clear communication from initial inquiry to quote to the move. 100% recommend.

Miss T

Fliss is amazing, delivered my fridge freezer with no problems, she really is superwoman, highly recommended, will definitely be using her again in the future. Nice to have a female mover.

Great service from Magpie, they were very patient when things didn’t go as planned and were so helpful. Extremely well priced and reliable! Thoroughly recommended.

Amanda

Fab lady and fab service (and you Josh!). I have used Fliss and Magpie Removals for the THIRD time recently, and as before, no complaints! This is why I didn’t hesitate to use Fliss again. Unfortunately, this time it was to move out of Cornwall. I wish her and her fab team all the best, and will definitely keep in touch.

Miss P

Exceptional service from Magpie Removals again today. Fliss and Josh are not only friendly and professional, but their focus is always on the care and attention to your property and furniture. They have a ‘can do’ attitude and service with a smile. Would not use anyone else.
