Removals in Ireland by Ireland Removals

At Ireland Removals, we provide reliable, well-organised removals across Ireland for homes, businesses, landlords and students. As an experienced removals company, we know moving can be stressful, so we focus on careful planning, clear communication and respectful handling of your belongings from first enquiry to final placement.

Professional Removals Services Across Ireland

Our removals service is designed to be straightforward and flexible. Whether you are moving a studio flat, a large family home, a single office or an entire business, we tailor our plan around your property, your timescales and any access issues. Every move is carried out by our trained, uniformed and professional moving teams using purpose-built vehicles and quality protective materials.

Who Our Removals Service Is For

Homeowners

We regularly help homeowners moving within Ireland or relocating further afield. From terraced houses to larger family properties, we plan each move around parking, access, bulky furniture and delicate items. Our team can manage everything from packing to dismantling and reassembling furniture.

Renters

Tenants often work to tight deadlines and fixed check-out dates. We provide efficient removals for flats and houses, including partial or full packing, protecting communal areas and following building rules. We help you leave your rental in good order and settle quickly into your new home.

Landlords

Landlords use our removals service for clearing properties between tenancies, removing old furniture, or setting up fully furnished lets. We work to your inventory and timescales, ensuring minimal void periods and a presentable property for incoming tenants.

Businesses

From small offices to multi-floor premises, we provide structured office and commercial moves. We handle desks, filing, IT equipment and stock with clear labelling and a planned sequence, helping you reduce downtime. Out-of-hours or weekend moves can be arranged where required.

Students

Students moving to or from accommodation, halls or shared houses benefit from our efficient, budget-conscious service. We move personal belongings, clothes, books and small furniture, and can provide temporary storage if your accommodation dates do not line up.

What Our Removals Service Includes

Items Typically Included

We routinely move:

• Household furniture – beds, wardrobes, sofas, tables, chairs
• Appliances – washing machines, dryers, fridges and freezers (disconnected and drained)
• Boxes of personal items, clothes, books and ornaments
• Office furniture, filing cabinets, desks and chairs
• IT equipment, printers and small machinery (properly prepared)
• Garage and shed contents that are boxed, drained and safe to transport

Items We Cannot Move

For safety and legal reasons, some items are excluded from our removals service:

• Hazardous materials – fuel, gas bottles, chemicals, paint and solvents
• Illegal items or anything prohibited by law
• Live animals (including pets and livestock)
• Perishable or frozen food for long-distance moves
• Very high-value items such as fine art or jewellery without prior agreement

If you are unsure about a particular item, we will clarify during the survey so there are no surprises on moving day.

Our Step-by-Step Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

You contact us with basic details: addresses, property size, key dates and any special requirements. We provide an initial estimate and discuss the level of service you need, from simple loading and transport to full packing and unpacking.

2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

We then carry out a survey, either by video call or in person. This lets us see access, parking, stairs, lifts and the volume of items. The survey helps us allocate the right vehicle, crew and materials, and enables us to provide a clear, written quotation with no hidden extras.

3. Packing & Preparation

On the agreed date, our team arrives on time with all required materials. If you choose our packing service, we carefully wrap and box your belongings, protecting fragile items with paper, bubble wrap and strong cartons. Larger furniture is dismantled where necessary and wrapped in blankets or specialist covers.

4. Loading & Transport

Items are loaded methodically, securing everything in the vehicle to prevent movement in transit. Our professional crews use lifting equipment, trolleys and ramps as required, reducing the risk of damage or injury. We then transport your belongings directly to your new property, updating you on progress along the way.

5. Unloading & Placement

On arrival, we unload and place items into the rooms you specify. Furniture is reassembled where previously dismantled, and we position larger items before we leave so you are not left struggling with heavy lifting. We remove our used packing materials for recycling or proper disposal.

Transparent Removals Pricing

Our pricing is based on several clear factors: the volume of items, access at both properties, distance travelled, level of packing required and any additional services such as storage. After the survey, you receive a detailed quotation that explains exactly what is included.

We avoid vague hourly promises that can easily overrun. Where we do work on time-based jobs for smaller moves, we are upfront about call-out charges, minimum hours and any mileage. You always know how your price has been calculated before you book.

Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY or Man-and-Van

Hiring a professional removals company provides a level of organisation and protection that is difficult to achieve with a DIY move or an informal man-and-van service. Our trained teams handle heavy and awkward items daily, reducing the risk of damage to your belongings and to the property itself.

We provide suitable vehicles, protective blankets, straps and covers, as well as goods in transit insurance and public liability cover. A low-cost man-and-van may appear cheaper initially, but damage, delays, repeat trips and lack of insurance can quickly outweigh any savings.

Insurance and Professional Standards

Every move with Ireland Removals is carried out under clear terms and proper insurance arrangements. We maintain:

• Goods in transit insurance for your belongings while they are being moved
• Public liability cover for peace of mind at both properties
• Trained, uniformed staff following established handling and lifting techniques

We work to recognised professional standards for packing, loading and transport, and our teams are briefed on each move in advance so they understand your priorities and any specific risks.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

Protecting your belongings is central to how we work. We use padded covers for sofas and mattresses, wardrobe cartons for hanging clothes, and floor and banister protection where needed. Fragile items are clearly labelled and loaded accordingly.

We also take sustainability seriously. Wherever possible, we reuse durable cartons, recycle packing materials and plan vehicle loads to minimise unnecessary journeys. If you wish, we can collect used boxes after your move for re-use or responsible recycling.

Real-World Removals Use Cases

Moving House

Most of our work involves full home moves, from small flats to large family homes. We coordinate with estate agents, solicitors and key release times where required, and can often build in short-term storage if completion dates do not align perfectly.

Office and Business Relocations

For businesses, we plan moves around your working hours to minimise disruption. This may include phased moves, weekend relocations or out-of-hours work. We label and group items so staff can get back to work quickly at the new premises.

Urgent and Short-Notice Moves

Situations change, and sometimes moves must happen quickly. If we have capacity, we offer same-day or short-notice removals for both domestic and commercial clients. We prioritise clear communication, realistic timescales and safe working practices, even under time pressure.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do removals in Ireland typically cost?

The cost of a removal depends on the volume of items, distance, access, and the level of service you choose. A small local flat move may be priced on a simple time and vehicle basis, while larger house or office moves are usually quoted as a fixed price after a survey. Packing, dismantling, storage and specialist items can affect the total. We always provide a clear, written quotation before you book so you can see exactly what is included and how the price has been calculated.

Can you handle same-day or urgent removals?

We can often accommodate same-day or urgent removals, depending on crew and vehicle availability. If your plans have changed at short notice, contact us as early as possible and we will check the schedule. For urgent moves, we may suggest a streamlined service focusing on essential items first, with a follow-up trip if required. While we will always try to help, we will not compromise on safety or proper loading, so availability can vary on particularly busy days and at month-end.

What insurance cover do you provide for my move?

All moves are covered by our goods in transit insurance, which protects your belongings while they are being transported in our vehicles, subject to our terms and conditions. We also carry public liability cover for work at your properties. During the survey and booking process, we explain the key limits and exclusions so you know exactly how you are protected. For particularly high-value or unusual items, we may recommend additional cover or special handling arrangements, which we are happy to discuss in detail.

What is included in your removals service as standard?

As standard, our removals service includes a suitable vehicle, a professional moving team, protective blankets, basic furniture protection and the loading, transport and unloading of your belongings. We place items into the rooms you choose and reassemble furniture we have dismantled, where agreed. Optional extras include full or partial packing services, supply of packing materials, storage, and specialist handling for pianos or other awkward items. Your written quotation will set out clearly which services are included so there is no confusion on moving day.

How is a professional removals company different from a man-and-van?

A professional removals company offers structured planning, trained staff, suitable vehicles and proper insurance. We carry out surveys, provide written quotes and follow established methods for packing, lifting and loading. A casual man-and-van may be cheaper initially, but often lacks formal insurance, backup vehicles, uniformed staff and the equipment needed to protect your belongings and property. With us, you know who is turning up, when they will arrive and how your items will be handled, reducing the risk of damage, delays or unexpected extra costs.

How far in advance should I book my removal?

We recommend booking your removal as soon as you have a confirmed moving date, especially if you are moving at month-end or during busy times. For most home moves, two to four weeks’ notice works well, giving enough time for surveys, packing and planning vehicle access. However, we understand that dates can change, so we remain as flexible as possible. If you need to move sooner, contact us and we will always do our best to fit you in or suggest practical alternatives.
