There are no laws in the UK governing who can set up as a remover. Because of the lack of legal restrictions, the removal industry attracts a number of rogues or inexperienced, untrained amateurs that may try and tempt you with cheap prices and promises they don't keep. Taking shortcuts when planning the most important part of the moving process, the actual move itself, can end up causing you a lot of unnecessary stress and a lot more money than you bargained for! To validate your removers Guild membership, use the search feature on this website or call 01494 792279.
To gain Guild membership, removers must pass an inspection and accreditation process approved by The Removals Industry Ombudsman Scheme. Those operating Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGVs) are legally required to have relevant qualifications in place. The remover's vehicle(s) are checked for their continued suitability to safely and securely carry out removals to a professional and competent level. The inspector is given access to the remover's primary storage facility to verify its suitability for providing a safe and secure storage service to customers.
