All Around Removals, hourly removals in Bristol

All Around Removals is a removals company based in Bristol that operates on an hourly rate model. It was founded in 2021 by Alex, who together with his team has years of experience in the sector. The company states that its reputation has been built on clear pricing, careful handling of goods and the reviews received on Google, where it has a rating of 4.9 out of 5 based on 95 reviews.

Hourly rates and available vehicles

The service is structured around three vehicle types and two crew configurations, with varying minimum booking periods. The published rates apply to moves within the city of Bristol that meet the established criteria.

• Medium wheelbase van: 2-hour minimum. One mover plus van, £40/hour (£80 minimum); two movers plus van, £60/hour (£120 minimum).
• Long wheelbase van: 2.5-hour minimum. One mover plus van, £50/hour (£125 minimum); two movers plus van, £70/hour (£175 minimum).
• Luton van: 3-hour minimum. One mover plus van, £55/hour (£165 minimum); two movers plus van, £90/hour (£270 minimum).

After the minimum booking period, additional time is charged in 15-minute increments. The company states that no VAT is currently added to the advertised prices.

How the hourly service works

The process begins with the communication of the move details: inventory, photographs or a video survey call. Where appropriate, the company can arrange an in-person visit. Based on that information, it recommends the appropriate vehicle and number of movers and estimates the hours required. To reserve the date, 50% of the estimated working time is paid.

The hourly clock starts when the team arrives at the collection address and stops when the agreed work is complete and the customer has checked that the vehicle is empty. If the move takes less time than estimated, you pay for the actual time taken, subject to the applicable minimum; if it takes longer, the additional time is charged at the agreed hourly rate.

What the rate includes

For hourly bookings within the city of Bristol, the rate covers travel from the company's base to the first collection address and the team's return at the end. It also includes the selected vehicle, the chosen number of movers, fuel during the Bristol journey, professional removal blankets, standard moving equipment, public liability and goods in transit insurance, and loading, transportation and unloading.

Additional services

In addition to transportation, the company offers additional services that are charged separately:

• Dismantling and reassembly: £30 per item, whether dismantling, reassembly or both operations on the same piece. Moving time continues to be counted while this work is carried out.
• Professional packing: one packer at £40/hour, two at £60/hour and three at £80/hour, with a three-hour minimum. Packing materials are charged separately.
• Specialist items: pianos, safes, antiques, unusually heavy or fragile items and other specialist moves must be disclosed before booking and may be individually priced.

Geographic coverage

The hourly rates apply to the Bristol postcodes detailed by the company: BS1, BS2, BS3, BS4, BS5, BS6, BS7, BS8, BS9, BS10, BS11, BS13, BS14, BS15 and BS16. Coverage includes areas such as the city centre, Clifton, Bedminster, Henleaze, Kingswood and Fishponds, among others. The company publishes local guides for Henleaze and Westbury-on-Trym, Bishopston, Redland and Horfield, Clifton and Hotwells, Knowle and Brislington, and Kingswood, Staple Hill and Downend.

For moves outside that area, the company provides individual quotes. It covers journeys to Bath, Gloucester, Swindon, Cardiff, London, Scotland and other points in the UK, as well as to Cheltenham, Newport, Oxford, Reading and Weston-super-Mare.

Types of move and guarantees

The service catalogue covers house, flat and apartment moves, man with a van service, office moves, school relocations, office furniture relocation, piano moves, student moves, furniture collection and delivery, packing and furniture assembly and disassembly.

The company has goods in transit insurance of up to £20,000 per insured vehicle, subject to the terms, conditions, limits and exclusions of the relevant policy. It also offers a same-day compensation guarantee: if accidental damage occurs and the company accepts liability for an eligible claim of £250 or less, once the amount is agreed, it pays it that same day, as set out in section 28 of its terms and conditions.

Customer profile and crew options

The company distinguishes between the one mover plus van option, intended for those who can provide assistance and for items that do not require two people due to size, shape or weight, and the two movers plus van option, aimed at normal two-person lifts, large furniture, appliances or a larger volume of belongings. For those unsure, the company recommends sending the inventory and offers advice on the appropriate vehicle and crew.
