How do I book a move with Mannix Brothers Removals & Storage Ltd?
Contact Mannix Brothers Removals & Storage Ltd by telephone, email or through the website enquiry form. Our team will discuss your requirements, arrange a survey where necessary and provide a quotation based on your move.
When should I book my house removal?
It is best to contact us as soon as you know you are likely to move. Popular dates, particularly Fridays and dates at the end of the month, can become booked quickly.
How much do removals cost?
Removal costs depend on the volume of belongings, the distance between properties, access, the number of team members required and any additional services you choose.
Packing, dismantling, storage and unusual or specialist items may also affect the price. We provide a tailored quotation after discussing or surveying your move.
What information do you need to provide a removal quotation?
We usually need the addresses of both properties, your expected moving date, property sizes, access details and an indication of what needs to be moved.
Please also tell us about items such as pianos, unusually large furniture, restricted parking, stairs or storage requirements.
Do you carry out a survey before providing a quote?
Yes. A survey helps us understand the volume of your belongings, property access, packing requirements and any furniture that may need dismantling.
Depending on the move, the survey may be completed at the property or by video.
Are you flexible if my moving date changes?
We understand that moving dates can change during the buying and selling process. We will try to accommodate changes wherever our schedule allows.
Please tell us as soon as possible if your proposed date changes. Availability cannot always be guaranteed, especially during busy periods.
When do I need to pay for my removal?
Your payment schedule will be explained in your quotation and booking documents. The timing may depend on the type and size of the move.
Please check your written quotation or contact our office before making payment.
Do you provide removals at weekends?
Mannix Brothers Removals & Storage Ltd mainly operates during the working week, but occasional Saturday moves may be available when required.
Weekend availability should be discussed with our team when requesting your quotation.
What do I need to do to prepare for moving day?
Make sure everything that is not being packed by our team is boxed, labelled and ready before the removal crew arrives.
Set aside important documents, medication, keys, chargers and anything you will need during the day. You should also arrange parking and notify us about any access restrictions.
What should I pack first when moving home?
Start with belongings that you do not use regularly, such as seasonal clothes, books, decorations, spare bedding and items stored in lofts or garages.
Leave everyday toiletries, kitchen essentials, medication and important paperwork until nearer moving day.
Do I need to empty drawers before the move?
Small, light belongings may sometimes remain in sturdy drawers, but heavy, fragile or valuable items should normally be removed.
Please empty drawers in flat-pack furniture or units that need dismantling. Our surveyor can advise you based on the furniture being moved.
Do I need to pack clothes before moving?
Folded clothes should normally be packed in suitable boxes, bags or cases. Avoid overfilling containers, as this can make them difficult to carry safely.
Hanging clothes may be moved in wardrobe cartons if these have been included in your packing arrangements.
What should I do with food in my fridge and freezer?
Try to use frozen and refrigerated food before moving day. Fridges and freezers should generally be emptied, defrosted and dried before transport.
Food may spoil during a long move, so it is better to carry essential chilled items separately in a suitable cool box.
What items should I keep with me on moving day?
Keep keys, identification, contracts, medication, valuables, phone chargers and important contact details with you.
It is also useful to prepare an essentials bag containing toiletries, drinks, snacks, basic cleaning products and anything needed for your first night.
Can you disconnect and reconnect washing machines?
Our team may be able to disconnect and reconnect a washing machine where suitable existing connections are available.
This must be discussed during the survey because the service depends on the condition and accessibility of the pipework. We do not carry out plumbing alterations or repairs.
Does Mannix Brothers Removals & Storage Ltd provide packing services?
Yes. We provide full and part packing services for customers who would like professional help preparing for their move.
The appropriate service can be discussed during your survey and included within your quotation.
What is included in your full packing service?
A full packing service normally covers the packing of agreed household belongings into suitable boxes before moving day.
Our team uses appropriate materials and labels the boxes to help organise unloading. Any excluded or unusually valuable items should be discussed in advance.
What is included in your part packing service?
A part packing service can cover selected rooms, fragile belongings or particular groups of items.
It is suitable when you want to pack most belongings yourself but need professional help with breakables, pictures, ornaments or other delicate possessions.
What do I need to do if I book a full packing service?
Separate anything you do not want packed, including medication, documents, valuables, keys and the clothes or toiletries you will need immediately.
Dispose of unwanted items and tell our team about anything requiring special attention. We will explain any additional preparation before packing begins.
Do you provide packing materials and removal boxes?
Yes. We can provide removal boxes, packing paper, tape, marker pens, bubble wrap, wardrobe cartons and other useful packing materials.
Availability, quantities and costs should be confirmed when placing your order.
How do you pack and protect fragile items?
Fragile belongings are individually wrapped where necessary and placed in suitable boxes with protective packing material.
Boxes are packed to reduce movement and clearly labelled so the removal team knows they require careful handling.
Do you wrap televisions before moving them?
Yes, televisions can be protected using appropriate covers and wrapping materials during the move.
Please retain the original box where possible and tell us in advance about particularly large, wall-mounted or high-value televisions.
Do you dismantle and reassemble furniture?
Yes. We can dismantle and reassemble suitable furniture when this has been agreed as part of the removal service.
Examples may include beds, wardrobes, desks and tables. Some flat-pack or fragile furniture may not be suitable for repeated dismantling.
Can you move large or unusually shaped furniture?
Yes, subject to the item’s size, weight, construction and property access.
Please mention large or unusual items during the survey so we can assess doorways, staircases, equipment and the number of team members required.
Do you provide specialist piano removals?
Yes. Mannix Brothers Removals & Storage Ltd moves upright pianos, baby grand pianos, pianolas and other suitable instruments locally and across the UK.
Every piano move is assessed individually because access, steps, flooring and the instrument’s size can affect the equipment and staffing required.
Can you move individual pieces of furniture?
Yes. We can provide quotations for individual furniture items as well as complete household moves.
The cost will depend on the item, collection and delivery locations, access and the team or vehicle required.
How do you protect sofas and other furniture during a move?
We use protective covers, blankets and appropriate wrapping to reduce the risk of marks or damage during handling and transport.
Furniture is also positioned and secured carefully inside the removal vehicle.
How does the house removal process work?
The removal crew will arrive at the agreed time, confirm the moving plan and begin protecting, loading and securing your belongings.
At the destination, items will be unloaded and placed in the appropriate rooms according to your instructions. Any agreed furniture reassembly will also be completed.
What happens if completion is delayed on moving day?
If keys are delayed, the crew may need to wait until access to the new property is available.
Waiting time can affect staffing, vehicle schedules and costs. Late-key protection may be available, so this should be discussed when arranging your move.
What protection do you use inside customers’ homes?
Restricted access can affect the vehicle used, the number of staff required and how long the move takes.
Please tell us about narrow roads, stairs, lifts, long carrying distances, parking restrictions or difficult entrances during the survey. Parking permits or suspensions may need to be arranged before moving day.
What happens if there are access or parking problems?
We can use suitable protection for floors, furniture, mattresses and other vulnerable areas depending on the requirements of the move.
Any particular concerns should be raised during the survey so the correct materials can be planned.
What happens if the weather is poor on moving day?
Our team will continue working where it is safe to do so and will take reasonable precautions to protect your belongings and property.
Severe weather, unsafe roads or dangerous working conditions may cause delays. We will communicate with you if the schedule needs to change.
Do you have different-sized removal vehicles?
Yes. We operate removal vehicles suitable for different types and sizes of moves.
The vehicle is selected according to the volume of belongings, access, travelling distance and any specialist items being transported.
Are there any items you cannot transport?
Yes. Certain hazardous, illegal, perishable or unsafe items cannot be carried in our removal vehicles.
Please tell us about anything unusual before packing. We can confirm whether it can be transported or whether alternative arrangements are required.
Can you move hazardous or flammable materials?
No. Items such as petrol, gas cylinders, chemicals, explosives and flammable materials should not be packed for removal.
Paint and other restricted substances may also be excluded. Ask our team before moving any item that could leak, ignite or create a safety risk.
What should I do with jewellery, cash and important documents?
Keep jewellery, cash, passports, legal papers and other irreplaceable belongings with you rather than placing them in the removal vehicle.
These items should be stored securely and remain under your control throughout moving day.
Does Mannix Brothers Removals & Storage Ltd provide storage?
Yes. We provide secure containerised storage for customers who need additional space before, during or after a move.
Storage can be used for household belongings and suitable business items.
What is containerised storage?
Containerised storage means belongings are loaded into dedicated storage containers that remain within a secure storage facility.
It is particularly useful when belongings do not need to be accessed frequently and can help reduce unnecessary handling.
Do you provide short-term and long-term storage?
Yes. Storage can be arranged for short or extended periods depending on your circumstances and available capacity.
Tell us how long you expect to need storage, and we will recommend an appropriate arrangement.
How much does storage cost?
Storage costs depend on the amount of space required, the length of storage and any collection, delivery, wrapping or access services needed.
We will provide a tailored quotation after assessing the volume of your belongings.
Can I access my belongings while they are in storage?
Yes, access can normally be arranged with advance notice.
A team member may need to be present, and access charges may apply depending on the work required to retrieve your container.
What size are your storage containers?
Container sizes and usable capacity should be confirmed directly with our team because the space required depends on the type and volume of belongings.
During your survey, we can estimate how many containers your goods are likely to require.
Are my belongings protected while in storage?
Belongings are wrapped and stored within secure, dry containerised facilities.
The applicable insurance protection, exclusions and customer responsibilities will be explained in your storage documentation.

Each move is assessed individually so that access, equipment, furniture, storage and business-continuity requirements can be considered.
