Quick answer

What do removals companies do, and what is actually covered if something breaks?

A removals company packs, loads, transports and unloads a house or office move, typically £300–£1,500 depending on volume and distance. Goods-in-transit cover is not the same as full replacement insurance, and it is usually capped per item. Self-packed boxes are commonly excluded from any claim — if cover matters, let them do the packing.

Removals terms explained — Barrow-in-Furness glossary

British Association of Removers(BAR)
The UK trade body for removals firms, with an alternative dispute resolution scheme and an advance-payment guarantee. Membership is the practical filter between an established remover and a van hired for the weekend.
Goods in Transit Insurance(GIT)
Cover for your belongings while in the remover’s custody, almost always with a per-item limit well below the value of a single valuable piece. Read the limit, not the headline total.
Pre-move Survey(Survey)
A video or in-person assessment used to price the job by volume. A quote given without one is an estimate that can move on the day, which is the most common source of removal-day disputes.
Owner-Packed Goods(PBO)
Boxes you packed yourself, marked as such on the inventory. Breakage inside them is normally excluded from cover, because the remover cannot verify how they were packed.
