Polite, even on a hot day
I cannot thank Roy, Wayne and Connor enough for their help across 3 days for my move from Winchester. They were so accommodating and polite, even though it was a really hot day. They just got on with the job.

Wiltshire to West Sussex
Roy, Connor, and Wayne did a great job of moving us from Wiltshire to West Sussex. Lovely guys and a good job well done.

They made the day calmer
Thank you so much to Wayne, James and Connor who helped us move house. You guys were absolutely brilliant and made our day a lot less stressful than we thought it was going to be.

I went back after three years
Pardys moved a three piece suite from Chippenham to Christchurch. It wasn’t easy to get the suite out, but they tried everything and succeeded without a complaint. I went back to Pardys as they moved our full house 3 yrs ago.

Questions
Straight answers before you book
Insurance, timing, packing and storage. If your question is not here, the surveyor will have it.
Read all FAQsYes, it is called MoveProtect. Cover meets British Association of Removers standards, from a few items up to a full overseas move. Standard liability cover on household goods is up to £50,000. If you want to talk it through, ask the surveyor. Freezer contents are excluded: neither R.H. Pardy nor its insurers accept responsibility for food that deteriorates.
As soon as you have agreed a sale. A good moment is when the draft contract arrives from the solicitor. Do not leave it until after exchange. The gap between exchange and completion is short, and in busy periods the diary fills.
Full professional packing, which means the contents of those boxes are insured. China and glass only, if you are packing the rest yourself and want the breakables covered. Or you pack, and we supply materials. We can also provide customers with all the materials they need, if required. Further materials are at additional cost, confirmed in that quotation rather than on this website.
Clothes and other light items can stay in drawers. Books, files, liquids, breakables and tools should come out and be packed separately. Take bedding out of divan drawers. A divan can collapse if weight is left in it during a move.
