Which moving service do you need?
Moving a house or flat
Start with your furniture and belongings, the collection and delivery addresses and your preferred date.
For a flat, include the floor, lift arrangements and any building rules affecting loading. For a house, remember belongings in garages, sheds and other storage areas.
See our house removals service and explain whether you intend to have everything packed before collection.
Adding packing or storage
If preparing the property is the difficult part, ask about packing and unpacking services. Specify whether you want help throughout the property or with selected items.
If your collection and delivery dates do not match, discuss storage between moves. Include the expected duration and whether your delivery address is confirmed.
These requirements should be discussed before booking so the requested work is clear.
Moving a business
A workplace move may involve desks, furniture, equipment and building-access arrangements that differ from a domestic move.
Tell us what needs relocating, who controls access at each site and whether the timing is restricted. Work outside normal hours, including evenings and weekends, can be arranged.
Visit our business and commercial removals page for the relevant service enquiry.
Give us the details that shape your move
Provide the collection and delivery postcodes, approximate inventory and preferred moving date.
Explain stairs, lifts, narrow entrances and the likely loading position at both addresses. If parking or building permission needs arranging, identify the requirement early and agree who is responsible.
Declare large, fragile or unusually heavy items before the booking is finalised. If you need furniture taken apart, ask whether that particular task can be included.
For belongings you no longer want, make a separate clearance enquiry. A removal quotation should not be assumed to include waste collection.
What affects removal costs in Reading?
The cost depends on the amount being moved, the journey, property access and the services requested.
Packing, storage and additional agreed work can change the scope. A small property with difficult access may require different arrangements from a larger property with straightforward loading.
When comparing quotes, check the inventory, included services and any conditions relating to waiting, changes or extra work. Make sure you understand how an unconfirmed moving date will be handled.
Reading locations and onward journeys

Reading removals FAQs
Can I arrange removals without a packing service?
Yes. Explain that you intend to pack your belongings yourself and confirm the preparation requirements. Packing assistance should only be treated as included when it appears in the agreed scope.
Can you help with a flat move in Reading?
Enquire with the inventory, floor level, lift details and access at both properties. These details help establish the work required for the move.
Do you handle small moves?
Yes. Our man and van service suits smaller moves, with one person or a two-person team and the driver helping to load and unload. It starts from £60 per hour with a 2-hour minimum; send your item list and postcodes for a quote.
Can packing or storage be added?
Yes. Both can be added to your quote, and packing materials can be supplied. If you have already booked, tell us and we will update the arrangements and confirm any additional cost.
How much do removals in Reading cost?
Costs depend on inventory, distance, access, dates and requested services. A quote based on your actual requirements is more useful than a general property-size estimate.
Can you move an office outside working hours?
Yes. We can arrange office moves outside normal working hours, including evenings and weekends, to minimise disruption. Tell us the building-access requirements.
Does a removal booking include unwanted furniture disposal?
Not automatically. Explain which items are being moved and which you want removed as waste, and request the appropriate service separately.
Can I book an urgent or weekend move?
Yes. Same-day and urgent bookings are available, subject to availability, and we work evenings and weekends. Any additional charge is confirmed in your quote.
Are my belongings insured?
Yes. Magnus Removals is fully insured, including Public Liability and Goods in Transit cover, with a £500 excess. Items packed by our team are fully covered, boxes you pack yourself are covered if they are packed safely, and belongings in our storage are covered too. Cover is subject to the terms and limits of our policy. If anything is damaged, tell us as soon as possible, ideally within 24 to 48 hours.
