Who Our Removals Service Is For

Homeowners

We support homeowners moving between properties, downsizing, upsizing or relocating into Dublin. From careful packing of fragile items to moving large furniture and outdoor equipment, we manage the full move so you can focus on the legal and practical side of your sale or purchase.

Renters

For tenants, timing and condition are critical. We help you leave your current property clean and damage-free by protecting floors, doors and communal areas. Our team can manage smaller loads efficiently, including evening or weekday moves to fit around work.

Landlords

Landlords use our professional removals service for end-of-tenancy clearances, part-furnished property setups and moving furniture between rentals. We work carefully but quickly, helping you minimise void periods and present your property at its best.

Businesses

We plan office and commercial removals to reduce downtime. This can include dismantling and reassembling workstations, moving IT equipment in a controlled way, and relocating archive or stock. We can work outside your trading hours where needed.

Students

Students often need cost-effective, flexible moves between halls, shared houses and home. We offer smaller-scale removals and shared loads, ideal if you have a mix of clothes, books, a few pieces of furniture and tech that still need secure, careful handling.

What We Can and Cannot Move

Items Typically Included

Household furniture – sofas, beds, wardrobes, tables and chairs
White goods – fridges, freezers, washing machines and cookers (disconnected)
Personal belongings – clothing, books, ornaments and collectables
Electronics – TVs, computers, audio equipment and gaming systems
Office equipment – desks, chairs, filing cabinets and boxed files
Garden and outdoor items – tools, furniture, barbecues (cleaned)

Items Usually Excluded or by Special Arrangement

Hazardous materials – paints, solvents, gas bottles and fuel
Live animals and plants in bulk (single houseplants are usually fine)
High-value items such as jewellery, cash and important documents
Illegal or restricted items under Irish law or carrier regulations
Very heavy specialist equipment without prior agreement

We will always clarify what is and is not included during your survey so there are no surprises on moving day.

Our Step-by-Step Dublin Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

You can contact us by phone, email or through our website. We will ask about your current and new addresses, access, property size and any special requirements. Based on this, we provide an initial estimate, then confirm a detailed quote after the survey.

2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

A survey lets us assess the volume of items, parking, staircases, lifts and any awkward pieces. We can do this by video call or in person. This step helps us allocate the right team size, vehicle and equipment, and ensures your quote is accurate and transparent.

3. Packing & Preparation

On the agreed date, our team arrives with all necessary materials if you have chosen our packing service. We use double-walled cartons, bubble wrap and furniture covers. Fragile items are clearly labelled, and we can dismantle furniture where needed. If you prefer to pack yourself, we can supply materials in advance.

4. Loading & Transport

On moving day, our trained crew protects floors, banisters and doors before loading. Items are loaded systematically to maximise space and stability, with fragile and valuable pieces secured appropriately. Our vehicles are equipped with blankets, straps and trolleys, and your belongings are covered by our goods in transit insurance.

5. Unloading & Placement

At your new property, we place furniture and boxes into the rooms you specify. We can reassemble items we dismantled and will remove our packing materials and waste. Before leaving, we invite you to walk through the property with us to ensure everything is where you want it.

Transparent Pricing for Dublin Removals

We believe in clear, straightforward pricing. Your quote will usually be based on:

Volume of goods to be moved
Access at both properties (floors, lifts, parking distance)
Travel distance between addresses
Services required – such as packing, disassembly/reassembly or storage
Day of the week and any out-of-hours work

All costs are itemised so you can see exactly what is included. We do not add hidden charges for things like stairs or waiting time without discussing them in advance.

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

While a DIY move or casual man-and-van might seem cheaper, they often bring hidden costs and risks. Our professional service offers:

Trained teams who understand safe lifting, packing and loading
Appropriate vehicles with the right equipment to protect your goods
Fully insured cover for your belongings and property
Reliable timings and written confirmations
A single, accountable company rather than informal arrangements

We regularly help customers who have had a previous poor experience with unregulated services. Investing in a reputable removal company reduces stress, damage and unexpected delays.

Insurance and Professional Standards

Your belongings are important to you, and we treat them with the same care. Ireland Removals operates with:

Goods in transit insurance – covering your possessions while in our vehicles
Public liability cover – protecting you and your property during the move
Trained moving teams – experienced staff, briefed on your specific job

Our crews follow agreed checklists, use appropriate protective materials and communicate clearly throughout the day. If you have particularly high-value or delicate items, we can advise on additional packing or coverage options.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We focus on careful handling and responsible working practices:

Using reusable furniture blankets, covers and crates where possible
Recycling cardboard and packing materials after moves
Planning routes to minimise unnecessary mileage
Maintaining vehicles for efficient, reliable performance

Floors, doors and banisters are protected at both ends of your move. We treat your home or office as we would our own, aiming to leave it clean and undamaged.

Real-World Use Cases

Moving House Within Dublin

A family moving from a three-bedroom semi in the suburbs to a larger property in the city can use our full packing and moving service. We pack the house the day before, then load, transport and unload on completion day, coordinating with your estate agent and solicitor where needed.

Office Relocation Across Town

A small business relocating its office can benefit from our weekend service. We move desks, chairs, filing and IT equipment after close of business on Friday, set up the new space, and have everything ready for staff to walk in on Monday morning.

Urgent or Last-Minute Moves

Sometimes moves are unplanned – a tenancy change, a sale falling through, or personal circumstances. Where our schedule allows, we offer quick-response removals in Dublin, focusing on essential belongings first and offering short-term storage if required.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a removal service in Dublin cost?

Costs vary depending on the size of your property, the volume of items, distance between addresses and any additional services you choose, such as packing or storage. A small flat move will naturally be less than a full four-bedroom house. After a short consultation and survey, we provide a clear, itemised quote so you can see exactly what you are paying for. There are no hidden charges, and we are happy to discuss options to match different budgets.

Can you handle same-day or urgent removals?

We do our best to accommodate same-day or short-notice moves in Dublin, particularly for smaller properties or partial loads. Availability depends on our existing schedule, vehicle capacity and crew numbers on the day. If you have an urgent move, contact us as early as possible and we will explain what we can realistically offer, including prioritising essential items first or using temporary storage if required. We will always be honest about timings so you can plan with confidence.

Are my belongings insured during the move?

Yes. Your goods are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are in our vehicles, and we also carry public liability cover for work at your properties. This is in addition to the care taken by our trained teams in packing, wrapping and loading. We will outline the key terms and any limits when you book, and if you have particularly high-value items, we can discuss whether additional cover or specialist packing is advisable for complete peace of mind.

What is included in a typical removals service?

A standard removal service includes loading your packed belongings, transporting them to your new address and unloading into the rooms you specify. We always protect furniture with blankets and covers, and we use trolleys and handling equipment where needed. Many customers add services such as packing, provision of boxes and materials, furniture disassembly and reassembly, and short-term storage. Your quote will clearly confirm what is included, and we can tailor the service to match your requirements and budget.

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

A professional removal company offers more structure, protection and accountability than a casual man-and-van service. We use purpose-built vehicles, quality protective materials and trained crews, and we are fully insured for goods in transit and public liability. Moves are planned in advance, confirmed in writing and managed by an experienced coordinator. While man-and-van services can be suitable for very small, low-risk jobs, most people find that a regulated, professional company offers greater reliability, safer handling and better value in the long run.

How far in advance should I book my removal?

For most Dublin moves, we recommend booking as soon as you have a confirmed moving date, ideally two to four weeks in advance. This gives us time to arrange surveys, parking, packing materials and crew scheduling. However, we understand that completion dates and tenancy agreements can change at short notice, so we always try to be flexible. If your dates are uncertain, we can pencil you in and adjust as things firm up, explaining any implications for availability or cost.
