We are a local, family-run removal company based in Golcar, Huddersfield. Since 2009 we have helped over 10,000 families and businesses move safely, on time, and without the stress that usually comes with moving day.
I started On The Move Removals in 2009 because I wanted to do removals properly. No hidden fees, no rushed jobs, no furniture dropped on the doorstep. Just careful, on-time moves done by people who actually care whether your sofa makes it up the stairs in one piece.
Over ten thousand moves later, that is still how we work. We are based in Golcar, Huddersfield, and from here we cover the whole of West Yorkshire day in, day out. Halifax, Leeds, Bradford, Wakefield, Barnsley, and every postcode in between. We also run nationwide moves regularly, from London to Edinburgh and everywhere between, with the same care you'd get if your new place was up the road.
I am on most jobs myself, and the team I have built alongside me knows the region inside out. We treat every move like it is our own mum's house, because more often than not someone on the crew knows your street.
If you are planning a move, get in touch. I quote every job personally, usually in under 30 minutes, and there is never any obligation.
Get in touchWe don't do gimmicks, loyalty schemes, or clever pricing tricks. We just turn up on time and handle your belongings like they are our own.
We turn up when we say we will. If we are going to be late (which almost never happens), you hear from us first. No ghosting, no "the traffic was bad" excuses.
We wrap, pad, and load as if every box were our own. Your goods are covered by our goods-in-transit insurance up to £10,000 per van, plus £1 million of public liability cover. You are in safe hands.
The quote you get is the price you pay. No "we hit traffic" surcharges, no "the stairs were steeper than expected" add-ons, no vanishing into the distance when the bill arrives.
We are not a franchise, a call centre, or a broker passing your job to strangers. The people you speak to are the same people who will turn up on your drive. You get our mobile, not a ticket number.
We hold a 4.9 average across 139 Google reviews, we have been voted a ThreeBestRated removals company four years running, and most of our jobs come from recommendations. That is not luck.
We own our vans, employ our own crew, and load every job ourselves. No brokers, no sub-contractors, no surprises at the door. Same faces, same standards, every job.
Behind Shaun is a small, tight-knit crew who know how to move carefully, quickly, and without breaking anything. Most of them have been with us for years. You will recognise the same faces on every job.
We are proud of how we work. We turn up in clean uniforms, with clean vans, and we look after your home as carefully as we look after your belongings. Blankets on carpets, corners padded, doors held open. All the basics that should be standard, and often are not.
