The Process
Before your move we will organize a home visit to talk through the process.
We’ll determine what vans we’ll need to send and how many of our experienced staff to send.
From this we’ll work out a price and in most cases you’ll receive a quote the same day.
On the Day
Depending on what you have arranged with your solicitors, you’ll have to be out of your house between 12-2pm – We will arrive at a time in the morning to make sure you’re out for the right time.
By the time we have loaded our vans and got to the new property, hopefully you will have the keys to your new property and we can begin unloading.
We were delighted with the efficient way in which the entire contents of our house, and a large part of the garden, were moved to our new home. The team worked very hard all day without complaining, despite having to carry everything up a significant number of steps. Thank you- we are very happy to recommend you.

Hi Dean. You moved us from Belper Avenue, Carlton to Ravenshead on Tuesday. I’m sure your team will remember – just say ‘Bed 3’ to them! We wanted to say how impressed we were with their efficiency and helpfulness. Nothing was too much trouble and we greatly appreciated their work and pleasant manner. Thank you very much for making what could have been a nightmare into smooth process. All we need to do now is unpack and find space for everything! We will definitely recommend you to anyone needing removal services.

“We would all really like to thank you for your pleasant, professional service in our recent move. As you know things didn’t run smoothly for us this year and the friendliness from yourself and your staff helped smooth the path. Please thank Joe and “the boys’ for their hard working kindness in shifting our vast amount of stuff! Whilst i know this is their job they did it very well.”
— Alison Donaldson
“A big thank you to the men from Dean McKay Removals who stopped their lorry this morning when i hysterically abandoned my car. They removed the huge spider from inside it and i got to work in one piece although a nervous wreck!!! If they deal with furniture like they do spiders – book them!!”
— Alex Brodie
“Joe and his gang saved the day when our original Removals team pulled out with less than 48hrs till move day! Step up one very cool, calm and professional outfit who helped us move and turn what could’ve been an absolute disaster into a very pleasant house move! Thanks again guys”
— Nathan
“These guys are absolute heroes. We moved on 2nd March – the worst coldest day of the year. They really took the stress out of the situation. They were organised, well equipped and, despite the challenging circumstances, were still jovial and good humoured.”
— Caroline Prance
“A huge thankyou for helping me move all my stuff from Nottingham to Oxfordshire. Brilliant from the outset. Joe was so helpful to liaise with. Mark,Chris and Chino (who helped in Nottingham) were just excellent.Good humoured and professional. They made a potentially stressful day into a memorable and fun day. My hope is that Mark and Chris managed to got back in time to watch the football!! You so deserved that win! Best wishes to you all, I will highly recommend you all as you are just great.”
— Louise Chamberlain
“Incredible team and funny guys! Took my stuff from Nottingham to Leeds. Made what should have been a stressful day smooth and easy. All great equipment to make sure nothing in old place or new place got damaged and even dealt with a ridiculous washing machine. Thanks guys and sorry I had so many books”
— Lisa M
“Just want to say a massive thank you to all at Dean McKay. Without them our move would have been a whole lot more stressful. Before the move Joe was brilliant and reassured me with any worries I had. The guys came the day before to start loading up and on the day they made a very stressful situation manageable (almost enjoyable). They were all very professional and great fun and with all the quotes we were given, I was so grateful that we chose Dean McKay. I don’t ever want to move again but if circumstances changed I would definitely use them again, I wouldn’t even go anywhere else for a quote.”
