Removals website design for man and van firms and small removal companies

Your pages, the features on them, the final price and the timescale, in writing before you pay a deposit. Hosting, care and any ongoing SEO are listed separately, so you can see what is one-off and what is monthly. On the Business package the first year of hosting and care is included.

Either, as long as the number on the page is the real one. Under section 230 of the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024 (UK), an offer that omits the total price omits material information, and that total takes in every fee or charge the customer will necessarily incur. Where part of the price cannot reasonably be worked out in advance, you have to explain the method used to work it out. The UK CAP Code puts it the same way for adverts: non-optional charges go inside the quoted price (rule 3.18), and a charge you cannot calculate in advance is stated as extra, with how it is worked out (rule 3.19). So an hourly rate needs its minimum hours, what happens after them and whether fuel, stairs and VAT are in it. A load price needs the limits of each load, as the demo sets out for a quarter, half and full van, and the demo then names each way its price can move, with a figure or a condition beside it. For setting the figure down in writing, see our quote guide.

Going by GOV.UK, not for a van plated at 3,500 kg or less that only works in the UK, but check each vehicle. GOV.UK says that in Great Britain you need a goods vehicle operator's licence for a vehicle with a gross plated weight over 3,500 kg, or an unladen weight over 1,525 kg where it has no plated weight. Separately, carrying other people's goods for hire or reward in the EU, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway or Switzerland in a van over 2,500 kg and up to 3,500 kg needs a standard international licence, and GOV.UK's guidance says those vans need no operator licence if you only use them in the UK. Northern Ireland has its own rules. On the site, give each van's plated weight, say whether you work abroad, and name any licence you hold exactly as it is issued.

Not in anything we read. No law or GOV.UK page we checked on 7 November 2026 makes goods in transit cover compulsory, so your site should never call it a legal requirement. The insurance GOV.UK does make compulsory in England, Scotland and Wales is employers' liability, once you employ someone. The British Association of Removers requires its own members to hold insurance meeting its standard, which is a rule of membership rather than law. If you hold goods in transit cover, say what it pays for, the limit for each load and anything the policy leaves out, and offer the wording to anyone who asks. The demo gives a sample limit per load and tells customers the policy wording is theirs to read before the day.

Usually not. The Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, which apply across the UK, give a 14 day right to cancel many contracts made online, by phone or away from your premises, but regulation 28(1)(h) leaves out transport of goods where the contract provides for a specific date or period of performance. A move fixed for a named Saturday falls inside that. What then decides things is your own terms: how much notice you need, what you keep if someone cancels late and how a date can be moved. The British Association of Removers warns customers that cancelling close to the date may mean paying part or all of the fee, so set your terms out next to the price and again in the written confirmation. The demo puts its cancellation answer beside the regulation it rests on.

Only if your firm is a member. Under the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024 (UK), displaying a trust mark or quality mark without the necessary authorisation is unfair in all circumstances. In 2013 the ASA (UK) upheld a complaint from the British Association of Removers against a moving quotes site whose line 'Registered BAR Mover' read as though every partner firm belonged, when some did not. BAR tells the public they can check a firm on its website or by phone, and that a member's site should show the logo as a live link. If you are a member, link it the way BAR asks; if not, leave it off and set out how you work in plain terms. The demo claims no trade body membership at all.

Yes, once it is registered to carry waste. A business that transports waste registers with the Environment Agency in England, Natural Resources Wales, SEPA in Scotland or the Northern Ireland Environment Agency, depending on where it is based. Your customer carries a duty too: under section 34(2A) of the Environmental Protection Act 1990, which applies in England and Wales, whoever lives in a home must take the measures that are reasonable to make sure its rubbish goes only to someone authorised to take it. That is why a clearances page should say where the waste ends up and what paperwork the customer gets, as the demo's clearances page does with a waste transfer note for every load. Our page on skip hire websites covers how to show the registration itself.
