As a family run business, we understand the financial burden of moving home and the worries that this can bring.

We can tailor your package to meet your needs and budget.
Payment can be made a number of ways. You can pay by bank transfer or cheque one week before the date of your move to allow clearance. By prior arrangement, should you not have the facilities to pay by our preferred method of bank transfer, we can accept cash payment on the day of your move.

For most moves, our removal team will arrive on the removal day between 8.30am – 9am. This gives our removal team time to prepare the vehicles and get your property ready to load up. However, our times are flexible. We understand that many families will still be working and will still have to do the school run, even on moving day. All you have to do, is allow our removal team access to your home – we will do the rest. Once your belongings have been safely loaded on to our vehicles for transit, we will ask you to check your home carefully to ensure everything has been packed. We will then take your belongings to storage or will meet you at your new property, ready to unload.
We understand that no matter how prepared you are, sometimes things don’t always go to plan. It is not unusual for there to be a delay on moving day. As part of our service, we offer ‘wait time’ free of charge. Should there be a delay in getting access to your new property, once your belongings are packed and loaded, our team will wait – free of charge – until 4pm at your new property.
Should the unfortunate happen and you are unable to gain access to your new home, we will be on hand to provide support and help. Our team will help you to find the best solution for you. We can take your contents back to our secure depot for storage giving you peace of mind your belongings are safe and looked after for delivery another day. Once you’ve got access to your new home we will gladly deliver and carry on with your move. However, there may be another charge for delivering your goods.

The most cost effective solution for you is packing your contents yourself. DS Carriers Ltd are happy to provide you with a moving kit. However, we fully appreciate that everyday demands can lead to a hectic lifestyle for many of our customers and DS Carriers Ltd are happy to offer a ‘Pack and Move’ service. As part of this service, our fully trained team will carefully pack your valuable possessions in preparation for your move, removing much of the stress and time involved in moving home.

You don’t need to worry as we will protect all your sofas and chairs in strong covers which will totally encase them that will then be strapped down for ease of lifting. Not only will your upholstery stay unscratched it will also be free from finger marks. As well as sofa covers we also use mattress covers and dining furniture covers.

DS Carriers Ltd understand TV’S are among one of the most expensive items that are required to be moved.  To ensure TV’S are moved safely, our team wrap your TV and seal it in our special designed TV carton that is brought on moving day.  This ensures no damage will occur during transit, giving you that peace of mind that your TV is safe.

DS Carriers Ltd are happy to provide a dismantling and re-assembly service to make your move even more stress free. If you have selected this service it will be fully outlined in your quotation.

All of our staff are employed directly by our company and not via an agency.

We can supply packaging materials for big or small moves and deliver to your door as and when you need. Please let us know at your pre-move survey and we will happily include packing materials in your quotation.

Yes, in addition to the required road risks, employers and public liability insurances, we also have removals-specific goods in transit insurance to cover the carriage of your possessions. Our standard quotation includes goods in transit insurance up to a certain value.  Should you have rare, valuable items of a high value, please notify us in advance to allow for extra insurance provision.  This can be discussed during your quotation survey.
