Insurance for your removal
Britannia Bradshaw have been moving homes for generations, and we value your home and its contents as much as you do. However, we also know that occasionally accidents can happen.
Because of the nature of a removal - all of your worldly goods are being transported to another location - we suggest you have insurance for your removal to protect against the unexpected.
We are able to provide you with insurance to suit your individual needs and belongings. We are also able to match it to the destination you're moving to, should you be moving overseas.
We offer a variety of insurance packages to suit your individual removal and storage requirements.
Of course, we do everything we can to avoid a situation where you'd need to claim, including using the latest packing and loading techniques. But we're all human, and occasionally accidents can happen.
We also suggest you check your home and contents insurance policies to see if they cover your belongings during your removal, at what level they're covered and if you need to purchase a supplemental policy.
Late key cover
House sales and rental agreements don't always happen as planned, and sometimes you find yourself waiting longer for the keys to your new home than you expected. When that happens, removal companies normally charge a waiting time while the keys are delayed. To protect against these charges, you can also purchase a Late Key Waiver, which covers the charges for time spent waiting for late keys.
Cancellation and delays protection
House sales fall through near the time of completion, chains collapse, builders don't finish houses on time, or the sale or lease agreement is simply delayed for another reason. If you've already booked your removal, it can be expensive to reschedule or cancel it completely. To help protect you against the potential costs of a delayed or cancelled move, we offer Cancellation Cover. Full details of the plan, how it works and what it covers are available, please talk with our representatives who can explain the plan in full to you.
Claims Notification
In the unlikely event of loss and/or damage which may give rise to a claim under this insurance, immediate notice must be given in writing to the Company. Unless a time extension has been requested by you, and agreed by the Company in writing, it is a general condition under this insurance that full details of any losses and/or damages for removals and storage must be notified within 7 days after delivery or, in the case of non-delivery, within 7 days from when your property would normally be delivered. For overseas removals and storage outside the United Kingdom the time limit is 30 days. These time limits apply whether or not your property has been unpacked.
Should you need to make a claim, we'll treat your claim with respect, courtesy and professionalism.

Is there anything else you would like to tell us about your move?
It took the sting out of the anxiety involved ... especially after the calls you made on my behalf from Leicester to Stafford which resulted In getting a cancelled booking, allowing me to move before the big stamp duty deadline which the rest of my chain were trying to beat. As the truck pulled into the drive of my daughter's house, the phone rang to confirm the exchange of contracts on the house ... tight timing!
All three removals people were excellent
Why did you choose to get a quote from us and where did you get our contact details?
