Frequently Asked Questions
R.H Pardy Moving & Storage LTD has insurance cover, which meets the standards of The British Association of Removals.
If you have any concerns please feel free to discuss them with our surveyor
Once you have agreed to sell your property it is never too early to book an appointment for a removals surveyor to call. A good time would be when you receive the draft contract package from the solicitor.
PLEASE DO NOT leave it until you have exchanged contracts as the time span between exchange and completion is so short these days, in busy periods, most professional removal companies will be booked up.
Packing can be the most time consuming and frustrating part of any move. If you can afford to have it done professionally by us, do so. That way the insurance will cover any damages to the contents of the packed boxes.
If the price is a factor, but you are concerned about your breakable items then perhaps we can offer you china and glass only packing service, this way they are covered by our insurance. As a member of the British Association of Removers, we use a wide range of appropriate packing materials and employ fully trained staff who will pack your things professionally and safely.
Alternatively, you can do your own packing and we will supply you with a starter of boxes and tape, after which you can buy further materials either from our shop (see our price list on the packaging page) or from other packing materials outlets. If you feel you require more than a starter pack included in the quotation, we can supply further materials at a reasonable cost. Simply ask!
For furniture that is being moved clothes and other light items may be left in drawers, but heavier items (and items that may damage the inside of drawers) such as books, files or tools should be removed and packed separately. Sheets and bedding should be removed from divan bed drawers as they may collapse if anything heavy is left in them during the removal.
It is advisable, to run down stocks as much as possible – freezers are not designed, to be moved whilst loaded. To avoid compressor failure, freezers should be completely emptied and defrosted before the move. For short trips, the contents may be temporarily packed into boxes and reloaded at the new home. However, please note that neither our company nor our insurers will accept responsibility for any deterioration of the contents.
R.H Pardy Moving & Storage LTD has its own containerised store. The containers are brought to your property on our vans, provided the access is okay, and are filled with your effects. Back at the yard, the containers are forklifted off the vehicle and put in the warehouse. The warehouse is covered by a Redcare alarm system and CCTV.

EXCELLENT Based on 154 reviews Nina Leaper2025-05-18 Last week was the 3rd time we’ve used R.H. Pardy and this time they outdid themselves. They were just amazing. They were quick, polite and efficient. There were 5 men and a massive van which put me at ease when they pulled up. We were lucky enough to complete and receive the keys of our new home by 11am and we were just leaving the old property when we received the call. So there were no delays. We were all packed up. I would highly recommend this company. And they were cheaper than other quotes I got. I’ll continue to use them (if I ever move again)! Michelle Conyers2025-05-02 Would definitely recommend RH Pardy, the team that dealt with my move were excellent; professional, polite and very helpful. Couldn’t ask for more; nothing was too much trouble. Janice Smith2025-04-25 As always R H Pardy were professional, helpful, understanding under difficult circumstances. I have never seen 3 men work so hard ! On the day we had 2 vans and 6 men all efficient and very pleasant - lots of cups of tea! I will always recommend this company at this is our third home move in 10 years with them. alan price2025-04-14 Moved from London to Christchurch, but decided on a Christchurch removal company. Pardys were brilliant. Nothing was too much trouble for them. They worked tirelessly on a difficult move from a flat with no lift to a town house. I would highly recommend Roy and his team to anyone moving anywhere. Claire Dominey2025-03-31 Thank you to all who helped our move go smoothly on the 14th March. All were professional and helpful. The guys on the day worked well together and methodically to make everything go like clockwork on the day. We were really pleased with the service given. Laura Trapnell2025-03-24 Thank you so much to the whole team for helping our move go so smoothly. You had been recommended by two of my colleagues and they were not wrong! Liaising with you had been easy and straightforward with Eugenia and on the week of our move, Roy and Connor worked so hard and were calm and effective throughout. We had not a single breakage in the entire move. I wish I'd also paid for unpacking - as I never want to see another packing box again! We will be recommending you to all our friends. Thank you team. Alison Shave2025-03-22 We just moved from a bungalow to a 3rd floor apartment. The guys from Pardys were prompt polite and careful. Declan, Charlie and Sam worked tirelessly to complete the job with a smile. Would recommended and would definitely use again but hopefully won't need to! Michelle Fawn2025-02-27 Thank you for making our move go so smoothly. We've been so impressed with the support from the whole team. Eugenia and Lynne provided amazing customer service to answer our queries and manage the booking. And Sam, James, Wayne and Mark did an incredible job, packing everything and moving us in. They were so friendly, thorough and professional, we can't thank them enough. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend RH Pardy to friends and family. stuart hooper2025-02-25 we have used Pardy's several times and they are always on time and get the job done. Yes we would recommend. Andrew Blaikley2025-01-27 RH Pardy helped us with our recent move & were absolutely brilliant. Cannot praise Roy, Dave, Sam, Connor, Steve & Wayne highly enough. Very professional service. Many thanks to you all.
