Great question! I founded May Fair Removal in 2009 with the mission to create the world’s most efficient logistics technology, which would help halve the number of wasted miles driven.
I noticed that a lot of vans on the roads at any given time are half full, or even entirely empty. Which makes sense. If someone is dropping off a piano from London to Cardiff, they will often have to drive back empty. I could see that this was a huge opportunity to help removals and delivery teams find extra work on the journeys they are already making, while also saving you a nice sum – as the journey was happening anyway.
Unlike brokers, who simply pass your job on and step away, May Fair Removal is a managed marketplace and takes a more hands-on approach so you don’t have to spend hours researching or comparing quotes. We take care of your move from the moment you request your quote, all the way through to the moment your stuff is delivered. How we work is simple: tell us what you’re moving and where, then we’ll give you an instant price, match you to a local vetted transport team, and guide you through the process.
We sure do, and chances are, we’ve already moved one of your neighbours! May Fair Removal operates across the whole of the UK, and our expert moving teams are based locally, meaning no matter where you are, we’ll have someone in your area to help with your move. We’ve now moved over 3 million customers, so there’s not many neighbourhoods we’ve not already moved to or from.
And if you’re going a bit further, we also cover moves to and within Germany, France, Spain, Italy and Ireland.
Moving, especially if it’s a whole house removal, is already expensive enough in my opinion. And I just don’t think you should also be paying a fortune for a moving company. We do things a bit differently here, which is why we’re able to be up to 40% cheaper than other moving companies.
It all comes down to the technology we use to match local drivers to local jobs, as well as having the largest network of moving teams in the UK. We’re either utilising journeys that are already happening for smaller moves, so we can pass this saving on to you. Or, for larger moves we use our technology and vast knowledge of your area to cut down on inefficiencies on the day.
Every move is different, so how much you can expect your move to cost will depend on the number of items you’re moving and distance travelled, and whether you need extra services like packing or dismantling. In fact, we’re so confident in our ability to offer great prices, we’ll also guarantee to beat any like-for-like removal quote you may find elsewhere.
