Video survey for house removals

Get a Fast, Accurate Removal Quote Without Waiting for a Home Visit

Need a removals quote?
Simply send us a video of your property by WhatsApp or email and we can assess your move without the delay of arranging a traditional home visit.

At Ravenhill Removals, we use video surveys to provide fast and accurate quotations for house removals throughout Sheffield, Yorkshire and across the UK.

Instead of waiting for an in-person survey appointment, you can use your smartphone to show us your property, furniture and belongings. We can then assess your move and provide a tailored quotation much more quickly.

For most moves, a video survey gives us all the information we need to recommend the correct number of movers, the right vehicle size and any additional services that may be required.

Why We Prefer Video Surveys

Video surveys are often the quickest and most convenient way to obtain an accurate removal quotation.

Faster Quotes

Once we receive your video, we can begin assessing your move straight away. This often results in a much quicker quotation compared with arranging an in-person survey appointment.

More Convenient

There is no need to take time off work or wait at home for a surveyor to arrive. You can record your video whenever it suits you and send it directly to us.

Accurate Assessments

A clear video survey allows us to see exactly what needs to be moved, identify access requirements and highlight any potential challenges before moving day.

Better Planning

By reviewing your video, we can determine:

  • The correct size removal vehicle
  • The number of movers required
  • Any packing requirements
  • Furniture dismantling and reassembly needs
  • Access considerations
  • Specialist handling requirements

How to Record Your Video Survey

Recording your video survey is simple. The aim is to show us everything that needs to be moved, along with any access or parking details that could affect the move.

Start Outside

Please show us:

  • The front of your property
  • Driveways and parking areas
  • Any access restrictions
  • Steps, narrow pathways or long carries

Walk Through Every Room

Move slowly through the property and show us:

  • All furniture being moved
  • Wardrobes and beds
  • Sofas and dining furniture
  • White goods and appliances
  • Televisions and fragile items
  • Boxes already packed

Do Not Forget Storage Areas

Please include:

  • Garages
  • Sheds
  • Loft spaces
  • Cellars
  • Garden furniture
  • Outdoor equipment

Open Cupboards and Wardrobes

This helps us accurately estimate the volume of boxes and packing materials that may be required.

Mention Anything Unusual

Please point out:

  • Pianos
  • Antiques
  • Large mirrors
  • Safes
  • Gym equipment
  • Valuable or fragile items
  • Items requiring dismantling

Common Mistakes to Avoid

To help us provide the most accurate quotation possible, please avoid:

  • Moving too quickly through rooms
  • Missing lofts, garages or sheds
  • Forgetting garden furniture
  • Only filming large furniture items
  • Not showing access and parking arrangements

The more information we receive, the more accurate your quotation will be.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a video survey as accurate as a home visit?

For most removals, yes. A clear video survey provides enough information for us to assess the size and complexity of your move accurately.

How long should the video be?

Most surveys take between 5 and 15 minutes depending on the size of the property.

What if I forget something?

No problem. Simply send us an additional video or photographs and we can update your quotation if necessary.

Do you ever carry out home visits?

Yes. In some circumstances we may recommend a site visit, particularly for very large, complex or specialist moves. However, most quotations can be completed successfully using a video survey.

How quickly will I receive my quote?

We aim to provide quotations as quickly as possible after receiving your survey, often much faster than would be possible with a traditional home visit.

Can I send photos instead?

Photos can be helpful, but a video survey usually gives us a better understanding of the overall move, access and volume of belongings.
