With thousands of registered firms, you'll have more options for the assistance you need on moving day and the price you pay. When listing your house or flat move on Shiply, be as detailed as possible so that companies can provide accurate estimates for the services you require.

Advantages of Using Shiply for Your House Move


Shiply has thousands of registered relocation companies ready to provide you with an estimate for your house relocation. This means more choice between types of firms, services, and prices.


Using Shiply saves you time. With just one listing, relocation companies come to you instead of you having to contact each one individually, allowing you to focus on other aspects of your move while the estimates arrive in your inbox.


Our online form is simple & user-friendly. Just answer a few questions about your specific house move, such as whether you live in a house or flat, the number of rooms, and the addresses of both your old and new home, and your listing will be live in no time.


Choosing Shiply is better for the environment. Our registered moving firms schedule their jobs around their existing work in your area or use spare space in what would otherwise be an empty or partially-filled vehicle. This means your house move will often have a lower negative impact on the environment.


Shiply users typically save up to 75% compared to standard rates, as your possessions will be using otherwise wasted space in vehicles. You won't be paying an unnecessary premium for the same high standards of service you would expect from approaching house relocation firms individually elsewhere.


Types of Relocation Services Available on Shiply


A full moving service assists you with all aspects of the move, including packing, heavy lifting at both ends, and unpacking in your new home. This type of service is typically more expensive due to the amount of work involved. A full service is ideal for busy households with minimal time for packing and those who prefer to avoid the stress of the move and leave the majority of the work to professionals.


A part-service offers some of the same features as a full service, but not all. Typically, a part-service includes loading & unloading at both ends but does not include packing assistance. This type of service is best for those who are available on the day to be involved in the move but may need an extra pair of hands. A part-service also suits those who may need help with specific tasks at either end of the process, such as assembling furniture.


A self-service or self-packing move is the most basic and cost-effective option. Self-service can be either hiring a van to drive yourself or hiring a driver with a vehicle to transport your possessions from your old house to your new one. If you already have plenty of helpers ready to assist on moving day and don't require a team for packing and assembling, a self-service move is likely all you'll need.


When choosing between estimates from relocation firms on Shiply, ensure you understand the services each estimate includes so you know what to expect and how to prepare for moving day. Before accepting an estimate, we recommend reviewing the Shiply profile of each firm to check their insurances, accreditations, and feedback from other Shiply users. Once you've chosen a firm, accept your preferred estimate.


In the lead-up to your moving date, inform your chosen firm of any changes that may affect them.


Preparing for Your House Move


There are many things to do to prepare for moving day, which will help everything run more smoothly & minimise stress. Here are some tips to help you in the lead-up to your moving day:


Notify people about your move - In addition to loved ones, remember to inform companies about your move, including energy providers, your bank, and Royal Mail. Subscriptions, memberships, your TV licence, and phone bill will need to be transferred to your new address, so make a list of everyone you need to inform and work through it one by one.


Declutter - Try to get rid of items you don't want to keep, especially if your new home has less storage space than your current one. For higher-value items, consider selling them on eBay for extra money, and consider donating items to charity or giving them away to friends and family. After decluttering, you'll have fewer boxes to pack, and it'll feel more like a fresh start in your new home, not surrounded by things you don't need or want.


Ask supermarkets for leftover cardboard boxes - Boxes don't have to be expensive. Ask friends & family for spare boxes or visit your local supermarket to see if they have any in the stockroom that you can have. If you've paid for a full moving service, cardboard boxes may be provided, but it's best to double-check what your service includes to ensure you have everything you need on the day.


Pack your most-used items last - If you're struggling to get started with packing, a great place to begin is by packing the items you use the least first. If you have a loft or cupboard full of items you hardly use (but don't want to throw away), you can pack these first without impacting your daily life. As moving day approaches, gradually work your way towards packing items that are more frequently used. For fragile items like crockery or ornaments, use protective packaging like bubble wrap or newspaper and ensure they are tightly packed in their boxes so they can't move around too much or break during the journey between houses.


Label everything - Ensure boxes are clearly labelled. You don't have to list everything in each box, but even writing which room it's for (e.g., kitchen, bedroom 1) will help the relocation firm know where to take the box and will assist you when unpacking at your new home. Stock up on parcel tape & pens and share them out to each family member so they can pack their own bedrooms.


Try to schedule a weekday move - If possible, a weekday move is more beneficial for several reasons: There'll be less traffic on the roads, fewer people around, and there should be more relocation firms to choose from by avoiding a weekend date. If you have children, moving on a weekday means they'll be at school, safely out of the way, and they'll get to come back to a new home after their school day.


Recruit helpers - If you can and if you think you might need to, ask for help from those close to you to ease the load on moving day. An extra person helping will get the work done faster, which will lower stress levels & give you more time for enjoying your new home. If you anticipate needing an extra pair of hands on the day, make sure you specify this on your Shiply listing so firms can source the necessary staff.


Keep in contact with your chosen firm - If there are any changes that may affect how your chosen relocation firm can help you on the day, make sure you let them know so they are aware in advance. For example, if you're not allowed in the new home until a later time than you've agreed, or if you need more vehicle space than you anticipated.


Arrange cleaning in the old house - Whether you're cleaning it yourself or hiring a professional cleaning firm, make sure you leave the old house empty, clean, & tidy for the next owners to move in. If you don't want to take cleaning products to the new place, you might want to leave items like cloths or bleach for the new owners to use.


Pack a moving day bag - A great idea is for everyone to have their own moving bag packed with essentials for the first few days in your new home. This will save you from having to unpack boxes prematurely or waste time desperately searching for a phone charger in a sea of boxes. Good things to include in a moving day bag would be a toothbrush, toilet roll, a change of clothes, and a toolkit.

Can Items Be Taken Upstairs?

Yes, items can be taken upstairs if needed, and can also be assembled. Transport providers on Shiply are happy to provide these services, but you should ensure that you are mentioning these requirements in your listings as it may mean a second person is required for the move.

Can I Change The Address Of The Delivery?

If you have not yet accepted a quote then you are able to change the address of your listing.

Will The Movers Help With Unpacking?

Transport providers on Shiply are able to help with your house move on both ends (packing and unpacking), but you should make sure they are informed of this requirement as they may need to plan for this.
