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.

Would you like to tell us anything about your move team?
The move team of Tommy, Jake, Marcus and Josh were fantastic, they loaded our contents with care and efficiency. All of the team were personable, polite and easy to work with.
They worked tirelessly to unload our contents at our new property and achieved this in a remarkably short period after we obtained our keys late in the afternoon. This was continued on the final unloading day when they ensured that all of our contents were in the correct location. Many thanks to all the team.

How can we improve our service?
There was just one hitch initially, when the survey I had booked by phone did not register, so no one came on the agreed survey date. This was quickly rectified when I phoned to enquire why. A minor problem but could lose a customer.

Is there anything else you would like to tell us about your move?
We put our furniture into store so did not move on same day so made it harder for the delivery team as they had no idea what was in the crates . Excellent service
Email to Lynn
Please could you thank Tommy, Jake, Marcus and Macca for giving up their Saturday for us and Josh and Luke for travelling all the way to Yorkshire .
Both teams were excellent and made the physical move the least stressful part. They just took control of everything once they arrived and only left me to make the tea. Thanks also to yourself and to Mark for sorting out dates etc
