What if the removal company damages my belongings?

Report damage immediately with photos. The company is liable under the Consumer Rights Act for performing the service with reasonable care. Check their insurance terms and make a formal claim.

Can they charge more than the quote?

A written quote is binding — they can't charge more unless additional work was agreed in writing. An estimate is not binding and the final price may differ.

What if items go missing during the move?

Report missing items as soon as possible, ideally the same day. The company is responsible for items in their care. Keep your inventory list as evidence and make a formal complaint.
