Why You Should Book Removal Companies Now

July 14, 2021
News and Updates

Did you know the busiest time of year for removal companies is the summer? And usually the busiest month is August which is just weeks away now. According to the HomeOwners Alliance, the last Friday in August is the busiest day for moves up and down the country.

Moving into a property on a Friday means we can have the weekend to settle into a new place. The last Friday in August also is the start of a handy Bank Holiday weekend. Removals experts have differing views as to whether August is the best time of year to move. But it doesn’t mean you shouldn’t.

And this summer, you might be rushing for the ice cream van on a very hot day. But make sure you also get in quick to book your removal van as demand is high. You should book four to six weeks in advance if possible, so now really is the time to get your slot secured for moving house.

You might have already booked a day for key collection already with the estate agent. Or you might choose your day later on according to what availability removal companies have. The four to six weeks timeframe is recommended so movers have enough time to do their packing and work out what they want to take from their old house to their new home.

And if you need help with your move and want to book a move in of your own, then give CBS Removals a call on 01480 220434 or email info@cbs-removals.org.

You can also fill in a quote form on the website. We will carry out a survey prior to the move so we can project manage the move effectively.

These guys made a stressful day fun thanks to their upbeat personality and friendliness. Nothing was too much trouble. They went the extra mile and my whole family appreciated their attitudes. I will recommend them to anyone. Thank you for an amazing service

They say that moving house is one of the most stressful events in your life - yet with CBS removals at your service this couldnt be further from the truth! Right from making the first phone call to enquire about their removals service, to the actual move itself and then the additional "after care" service the whole team were extremely professional, efficient, courteous and friendly and they all went the extra mile or 10 when one minor item got mislaid - you'd have thought it was an heirloom not a glorified (but much loved) curtain pole - that thankfully has been returned to its grateful owner! The guys worked especially hard on the move day and had enormous trouble getting large furniture through tiny door openings - and this without so much as a moan. But I had to get vats of tea and heaps of sugar to keep them sustained! I could go on - I shouldnt' miss the opportunity to praise the 2 Caroli/y/nes in the office who made it their mission to reunite me with the curtain pole. Such dedication! Can't recommend them highly enough - oh and now I'd like a quote please for some rubbish removal! A breath of fresh air working with them. Best wishes and my thanks to all of you. Keith

Would definitely recommend CBS, they were great on our removal day! Turned up on time and were really efficient. The guys and lady were very friendly and did a great job. Lewis was great at coordinating everything.

We can’t recommend CBS highly enough after they got us moved in to our new home a couple of weeks ago. They took the stress right out of moving day, especially considering the added complications of having to move during lockdown. They were on time, worked quickly and effectively, and most importantly they took the utmost care with everything. They even went above and beyond to help fix our garage door which jammed on the way out (through no fault of theirs!!). Our keys were released late in the day, which being a Friday afternoon must have been annoying for the CBS guys. But they didn’t let it show one bit! They made sure that everything was exactly where it was needed and they didn’t leave until they were certain that the job was done and that we were happy. The whole team were professional, friendly and polite all day. Their customer focus really is first rate and I’d personally recommend them to anyone in an instant. Thank you Lewis and the CBS team! 👍🏻

We couldn’t have been more happy. CBS removals were friendly, hardworking, professional and swift. Quite a long wait for our keys on a Friday afternoon as well, and all the chaps made sure we were completely happy before leaving and never made us feel under pressure despite the late hour. Highly recommended. Thank you very much CBS

I cannot recommend CBS removals high enough , they moved me from Kent to Bedfordshire , professional guys turned up on time all boxes and tape ready , Michael, Paul and James and Alex were very helpful and very competitive pricing with others that quoted , it’s was a very long day and they were patient with me deciding on location of furniture , they done overtime hours my opinion but did not request any extras , all the best CBS removals for the future , keiron

Our moving day was a minor heart attack in the making but CBS were the only part that went well! Paul and his team on the ground and Carolyne back at the office all went above and beyond for us throughout solicitor induced delays and an extremely cold February evening. Highly recommended and will be my first call for any future "men with ven" requirements.

Provided me with a really competitive quote and were super helpful over the phone and offered good flexibility to work around my plans. Due to external factors I didn’t end up using their services but impressed and I will if I’m ever move back to the area!

I didn't actually use CBS but I wanted to speak up for the efficiency of their communication, their openness, and the friendly manner in which they do business. Their quote was competitive, and I'd recommend others look into them.

Called CBS last minute for our removal and could not recommend them highly enough! Great guys and great banter between them all. They went over and above to help us and make the move go as smoothly as possible.

If you need a removal Company I would give CBS a call.

CBS Removals were an excellent firm to work with. Due to working for a pop up brand that travels across the UK, we often dread moving from one location to the next. However, CBS couldn't have been more helpful. They were professional, upbeat and went above and beyond to ensure our stock was moved safely without being damaged. CBS took care of everything from taking apart furniture and rebuilding, loading into their vans and transporting to our new store. We couldn't recommend them enough and will definitely be using them in future!

Had a great experience with CBS - showed up on time and moved everything we wanted, both men were friendly and helpful to us. We will definitely be using this company again in the future

14:15 16 Oct 19

We discovered this new company quite by chance and I am pleased we did. The pre move service was excellent and the quote was the best we had been given, by around £400.00 . I liked the fact the price quoted was the final quote, other companies stated that the movers would be on overtime after 1700. Anyone who knows the A 303 knows that the chance of a delay is very real. The team turned up on time and were very professional, polite and hard working. Beds had protective covers as did my tables and wooden furniture. They had all the appropriate racks and ties. The move happened over two days due to the distance of moving from London to Devon. They turned up on time the second day to unload and again worked hard . The team had a good camaraderie between themselves and were polite and courteous to us. My wife said she would adopt Niall!!!
When we move again I would use this firm if they are prepared to journey down to Devon. Team were timely professional and more importantly no damages or breakages. Thank you all.

I am not sure I have ever experienced such appalling service from any company. Not enough vans, one sent to the wrong address, broken vehicles, majority of furniture placed in the incorrect rooms, left without us knowing, lots of damage. Worse experience of my life with this company.
