Quoting the whole move
What do we need to know about your house move?
Tell us what is moving and what access is like at both properties. This helps us understand the size of the job before preparing your quote.
Access at both homes
Stairs, parking and awkward access
Narrow doors, upper floors, long carries and restricted parking can change the time and handling required. Include those details before the move is priced.
Moving a smaller load?
A flat, selected furniture or a lighter load may be better suited to Small Removals.
Moving one large item?
Use Porta's Large Item Courier for a sofa, wardrobe, appliance or marketplace purchase.

How should you prepare for moving day?
A little preparation helps the agreed move run smoothly and keeps the collection ready for the moving team.
Finish packing before collection
Seal and label boxes, empty loose contents from furniture and keep important documents or overnight essentials separate.
Keep the way out clear
Clear halls, stairs and doorways so furniture and boxes can be carried out safely without avoidable delays.
Make access arrangements
Organise keys, building access and any parking permission needed at both properties before moving day.
Report any important changes
Tell Porta if the addresses, date, access or amount being moved changes after the quote has been prepared.
Long-distance planning
Moving to or from Northern Ireland?
For a Northern Ireland house move, the crossing has to be planned with the rest of the job. Vehicle space, ferry routing, addresses, dates and access all need to be clear before Porta can prepare a useful quote.
Send the whole move in one enquiry, including any flexibility around the date. Porta can then review the route with the rest of the removal rather than treating the ferry leg as an add-on.

What do you need to know before enquiring?
For a flat, smaller load or individual item, visit the UK Removal Services hub to find the most suitable quote route.
What is a house removal service?
A house removal service is for moving the contents of a multi-room home between addresses, including furniture, appliances, boxes and other household belongings. Porta reviews the route, properties, access and main contents before preparing a custom quote.
How do I get a quote for a full house removal?
Complete the house-removal enquiry with both addresses, the preferred date, details of both properties and an outline of the belongings. Porta reviews the whole job before providing a custom quote.
What information should I provide about the contents?
Give a useful room-by-room overview, identify the main furniture, appliances and estimated number of boxes, then flag anything heavy, fragile or awkward. You can also share a link to useful photos or video.
What happens after I accept the quote?
Porta confirms the booking with a suitable vetted independent moving partner and provides the booking information and collection and delivery updates.
What affects a house removal quote?
A house removal quote depends on the volume and type of belongings, distance, access at both addresses, timing and the handling or moving support required. Accurate details allow those requirements to be priced before booking.
Can Porta arrange a move to or from Northern Ireland?
Porta can review house-removal enquiries involving Northern Ireland. Send both addresses, the move date and a clear description of the load because ferry routing, vehicle space and timing need to be considered as part of the whole job.
Is House Removals right for a flat or a few items?
House Removals is intended for a larger multi-room household move. A lighter flat, partial-home or selected-furniture move may fit Small Removals, while one sofa, wardrobe or marketplace purchase is usually better suited to the Large Item service.
Is Porta the removal company carrying my belongings?
Porta is a booking platform rather than the carrier or employer of the moving team. It connects customers with vetted independent moving partners for suitable UK removal jobs.
