  3. A checked mover does it

    Follow move-day updates as they happen. Pay after you sign off.

What's included

  • Fixed price

    The price you book stays fixed while the move matches what you told us. Extra work needs your approval first.

  • Goods cover

    Goods cover under MoveReady. See the terms. How cover works

  • Checked movers

    Every operator shows us their insurance, ID and vehicle details before they can take a job.

  • No mover, you pay nothing

  • A customer’s experience

    London to Oxford.

    When the customer’s train was delayed, Movesmith and the moving team coordinated the handover so the items could be delivered inside and received in person.

Price-Drop Promise

Fixed price. If ours goes down before your move, so does yours.

We check again about 48 hours before your move. It can only go down, never up.

How the promise works

Common questions

See all questions

What is included in the fixed price?

A verified crew, a suitably sized vehicle, loading, driving and unloading, clear liability terms based on the details you declare at booking, and any customer road charges shown for your route.

Floors, lifts, carrying distance and waiting are declared before pricing and built into the price once, for every kind of move. Work such as dismantling or disconnecting an appliance is chosen separately and priced before you book.

What if there is more to move on the day?

The operator does not haggle or agree a cash price at the door. They pause before loading the changed scope and report it to Movesmith.

Movesmith prices any additional work as a new fixed proposal. It is charged to your saved card only if you expressly approve it. The one thing that can be added after your move is a parking ticket the crew gets because parking you said you would arrange wasn’t in place: you pay the ticket amount only, with no admin fees, after we show you the evidence, and you have 14 days to dispute it (clause 29.10).

Can I cancel if my plans change?

Yes. Cancellation is free 48 hours or more before your move.

Closer to the move there is a published fee: 50% at 24–48 hours, 75% in the final 24 hours and 100% for a customer no-show, because the moving operator has reserved the time.

Change or cancel from the link in your confirmation email.

See the full cancellation breakdown.

What happens if something is damaged?

Tell Movesmith in writing, not the moving operator. Report loss or damage in writing, with details within 7 days of delivery.

We send goods claims to our claims handler, ICA. We stay your first contact. £100 excess per claim. We pay it, so you pay no excess.

Boxes you pack yourself are covered only for fire, collision or the van overturning. For missing contents, you need a valued contents list before the move.

Your private case page shows the next step and when you'll next hear from us. The operator does not see your claim or payment details.

and MoveReady Addendum.

Does Movesmith handle long-distance moves?

Yes, anywhere in the UK. Supported routes can price instantly. The mapped outward and return journey, platform-sized crew, vehicle and handling plan are calculated into one complete fixed price before payment. Temporary route failures are retried; routes, access or handling outside the published rules go to a tailored fixed-price review.

Who runs Movesmith?

Kyle Thulani founded Movesmith and runs it. He answers the phone from 8am to 8pm on 020 3143 1719, and you can ask for a call-back. Movesmith Ltd (company number 16634345) is responsible for your booking; the move itself is carried out by a vetted local operator.

Can I book a move for today?

Yes, anywhere in the UK. Choose today in the quote and pick an arrival time that hasn't started yet. The quote only shows times you can still book. You see the fixed price before you book, and we start looking for a mover straight away.

Subject to a mover accepting. If none does, you pay nothing and we tell you straight away.

See how same-day works.

What happens if no mover is available?

We send your job to every suitable mover who takes same-day work. The first to accept gets it, and we text and email you straight away.

If no mover accepts before your arrival time starts, we cancel the booking automatically, release the hold on your card in full and tell you straight away. You pay nothing. You can also cancel free at any time until a mover accepts.

Should I choose 1 person or 2 people?

You choose when you get your price. Both prices are shown side by side.

1 person: from £105. The driver carries everything alone.

2 people: from £147. Two movers do all the lifting.

Heavy items need 2 people. That includes 3-seat sofas, wardrobes with 2 or more doors, fridge-freezers, washing machines and dryers.

Too heavy on the day? Your mover leaves that item. We rebook it at the 2-person price only if you say yes. You never pay at the door.

Home moves always get 2 people or more.

Your exact fixed price is shown before you book.

What is the Price-Drop Promise?

Lower price, lower for you. About 48 hours before your move, we price the same move again on our prices that day. If it is lower, your price goes down too, and we email you.

Never higher. It can only go down, never up. Where our minimum service margin for your move limits the drop, your price falls as far as that allows.

Not covered: promotional codes, partner or organisation discounts, a different date or arrival window, changes you ask for, tailored-review quotes, and bookings paid for when you book because the move is within 48 hours.

The rule is clause 27.15 of our Terms.
