Choosing a removal company involves more than finding a high star rating. A student leaving a flat in Selly Oak, a family moving across Birmingham and a household relocating overseas can need very different services.
This guide looks at ten highly rated Birmingham movers and the services they advertise, with practical questions to help you decide who to contact for a quote.

1. Shift It Man and Van Removals
We are a family-run removals business based in Longbridge, established in 2019. Rob and James carry out moves using a 3.5-tonne Luton van with approximately 16m³ of loading space and a tail lift.
Our work includes house and flat moves, student relocations, furniture transport, office moves and upright piano removals. We also undertake UK moves connecting with our Birmingham and West Midlands service area.
Our Clean Van Guarantee means our van is used for removals only, with no waste or rubbish clearance.
Worth discussing: your inventory and access, so we can confirm whether our two-man team and one-van setup suits your move.
2. HIH Removals
HIH Removals advertises house and office removals alongside clearance services. Its directory profile also lists partial moves and a man-with-a-van service.
This gives customers several types of work to ask about, from moving selected furniture to relocating a property’s contents. If you need both transport and clearance, explain which belongings are going to your new address and which need removing.
Worth discussing: whether the quote covers your complete inventory and any separately requested clearance work.
3. REMOVALS-BIRMINGHAM
Removals Birmingham advertises home and office moves, furniture transport, packing and storage. Its website describes full and partial packing options, including help with fragile belongings.
The availability of both packing and storage is relevant when you need more than transport, particularly if your collection and delivery dates do not line up.
Worth discussing: how packing, collection, storage and final delivery would be scheduled and priced together.
4. Man and Van UK
Man and Van UK advertises house moves, commercial relocations, large-item deliveries and same-day emergency bookings across Birmingham and the Midlands.
Its house-removals information describes a Luton van with a tail lift and says larger moves can be discussed in terms of multiple trips or multi-van arrangements. Same-day availability needs confirming directly.
Worth discussing: the vehicle capacity and number of movers allocated to your booking, especially if you are moving a larger household.
5. Allen Family Removals
Allen Family Removals describes itself as a family-run Birmingham company offering local, nationwide and international moves. Its website also lists packing and storage services.
Its packing information includes furniture dismantling and reassembly, making those useful details to discuss when comparing a fuller moving service with transport alone.
Worth discussing: which preparation tasks are included, who supplies packing materials and how any storage or overseas arrangements would work.
6. Anytime Removal
Anytime Removal lists house moves, office moves, student removals, man-with-a-van transport and part moves. It also advertises packing support.
The part-move option is relevant when you are moving selected items rather than everything in a property. For example, your requirements may be a few pieces of furniture, packed boxes or belongings going into storage.
Worth discussing: the minimum booking, help with lifting and whether furniture dismantling or packing needs a separate arrangement.
7. Bells of Erdington (1963) Ltd
Bells of Erdington is based in North Birmingham and advertises domestic and commercial removals, nationwide work and international relocation.
Its website describes work ranging from small local moves to head-office relocations. That range makes it worth asking how the company would plan the crew, vehicle and timing for your particular job.
Worth discussing: whether a pre-move assessment is needed and how the proposed service fits your property, access and destination.
8. Mighty Movers Ltd
Mighty Movers advertises local, residential, long-distance and commercial moving services. Its website includes residential work involving student households and older customers.
When comparing its service, describe the practical help you need at both addresses, rather than relying only on the number of bedrooms. Loading distance and furniture size can change the job considerably.
Worth discussing: the vehicle and crew provided, the expected number of journeys and the assistance included at delivery.
9. Middleton Moving
Middleton Moving advertises house, office and commercial removals across Birmingham and the West Midlands, alongside UK and international moving services.
Its website also lists packing and secure storage. Those options are relevant if you are downsizing, waiting for a property to become available or arranging a move in stages.
Worth discussing: storage duration, access to stored belongings, packing requirements and the cost of collecting and redelivering your goods.
10. Hansen Man & Van LTD
Hansen Man & Van advertises house moves, commercial moves, furniture and appliance transport, packing and part loads.
Its quotation form asks about floor level, lift access, van size and whether a helper is required. These are useful details to establish before booking, particularly for flats or individual bulky items.
Worth discussing: exactly how much lifting assistance is included and whether the vehicle can accommodate your full inventory.
How to choose the right mover for your Birmingham move
Match the service to the job
For a furnished flat or smaller house, ask whether everything will fit in the proposed vehicle and whether additional journeys are practical. A larger household, overseas move or relocation involving storage may need a different arrangement.
For city-centre apartments, tell the company about lift bookings, loading access and the distance from the van to your front door. For bulky furniture, send photographs and measurements before moving day.
Read reviews about similar moves
Look beyond the overall score. Reviews describing stairs, fragile furniture, packing, long-distance transport or business relocations can help you understand how a company has handled work resembling yours.
Read recent feedback as well as older reviews, and check the company’s responses where something went wrong.
Compare the same specification
Give every company the same inventory, postcodes, moving date and access information. Ask for a written quote explaining:
The number of movers and vehicle arrangements.
Whether the charge is fixed or hourly.
Any minimum booking and travel charges.
Packing, dismantling and reassembly.
Waiting time and extra journeys.
Payment, cancellation and date-change terms.
Insurance limits, exclusions and any excess.
A lower headline price is difficult to assess unless you know what it includes.
Planning a smaller move in Birmingham?
If you are moving a flat, small house, student accommodation or selected furniture, contact Shift It Man and Van Removals.
