What’s the best time to book a removal company?

When you get the go-ahead to move, it’s the biggest sigh of relief. When you get that moving date confirmed, you’ll want to be able to book a removal company without any hassle. You’ll want to choose a company you know and trust. But these companies are likely to get booked up quickly. While it’s always good to get a few quotes just in case, wouldn’t it be nice if you could confirm everything right away with your preferred company?

Being selective about when you move could help. We’re not saying it definitely will, but there are times of the year when demand for removal companies is higher and times when there is less demand. Off-peak seasons can also come with better rates!

Spring and summer are often cited as the best seasons to move, particularly during the summer holiday. Why? That’s because many people take time off during this period. People are more likely to want to house hunt when the sun is shining and the days are longer.

More daylight hours also makes moving a more pleasant experience for both you and your removal company.

That being said, as it is a more popular season, there will be competition for removal companies.

If you’re looking to save money, we recommend going off-season. October-April is your best bet.

Which day of the week should you move?

Now that we know which season could work in your favour, let’s look at the best days of the week.

Friday is not a good time to move! Why? It’s very popular.

Sunday is the least popular day and therefore provides favourable rates and increased availability.

Midweek days are also a good choice.
