Why choose Weston & Edwards for your house move?
Trained, uniformed crews
Our crews are trained in handling furniture, fragile items, and high-value possessions. Each move is led by a senior crew member from loading through to placement.
Packing options included
Full or partial packing is available, with cartons and protective materials included as standard in your packing service.
Storage if your dates do not align
If your sale and purchase dates do not coincide, we can hold your belongings securely at our South Heath Warehouse in Great Bentley, Colchester. Short and long-term options are available for domestic customers.
No waiting fees
Completion delays happen. We do not charge waiting fees if keys are late on moving day.
What your house removal includes
Your move is handled by one team from survey to unload. Depending on the quote you choose, your house removal can include:
- Full or partial packing, with cartons and protective materials included
- Specialist wrapping of antiques, fine furniture, and delicate items
- Piano and specialist item relocation
- Dismantling and reassembly of beds, wardrobes, and larger furniture
- Protective floor coverings and doorway protection at both properties
- Secure short and long-term storage if your dates do not line up
- Local, regional, and long-distance UK house removals
Protection and insurance
Moving house means trusting someone with everything you own. Protection is built into how we work:
- BAR Alternative Dispute Resolution scheme. We follow the British Association of Removers ADR scheme, giving you an independent route if anything is disputed.
- Trained, uniformed crews. Our teams are trained in handling furniture and high-value belongings, not casual labour.
- Up to £100,000 goods-in-transit insurance cover. Your belongings are insured while in our care. Flag high-value items at the survey so cover and packing are right.
- Packing materials included. Cartons and protective materials come as part of your packing service.
- No waiting fees. We do not charge waiting fees if keys are late on moving day.
How your home move works
What affects the cost of a house removal in Essex?
Every house move is different, so we do not publish fixed prices. The cost of your removal depends on:
- The volume of your move (number of rooms, larger items, specialist pieces)
- Your collection and delivery addresses, including access and parking
- Whether you need full or partial packing
- Whether storage is required between your sale and purchase
- The distance of the move
For a full breakdown of what goes into a removal quote in Essex and Suffolk, see our cost guide. Your survey gives you a fixed, itemised quote with no hidden fees.
Great Company would certainly recommend. I moved out of my house into temporary accommodations for 5 Months then finally into my new build using Weston & Edwards Removals for every move. Richie Graves, Dan Jackson and James Scott were very professional, polite and great guys to work with.
Bunny Phippin – February 2026
Dan W, Nick P and Rich Y helped us move last Friday. They turned up on time on the day and were really efficient and were all packed up much more quickly than we had expected. Things were wrapped carefully and nothing was damaged. The guys were friendly and professional. Generally, the team when booking and asking questions were really helpful and quick to respond. We would definitely use again and recommend.
Aimee Evenett – January 2026
What an incredible experience we had! We have moved many times but have never had the kind of service we had today! The team were Bill, Michael, Richy and Luke. They were professional, efficient and nothing was too much trouble. We set them some pretty tough challenges, but they didn’t bother the team at all. Absolutely amazing service – can’t recommend them highly enough!
