What we do
We describe our work by the charge placed in our hands — the home, the estate, the business, the collection — because each asks something different of us, and each deserves the same standard.
What we are entrusted with
We describe our work by what is placed in our charge — because a family home, a country estate, an office and a fine collection each ask something different of us, and each deserves the same care.
Household removals, near or far.
The everyday work we were built for — packing, protecting and moving a family home across town, across the country, or across a border. Every room inventoried, every piece treated as though it were our own.
Larger homes and their contents.
Country houses, larger properties and their libraries, cellars and gardens. Long drives, outbuildings and rooms full of a lifetime — a full-crew move with the room and the patience it deserves.
Offices, practices and institutions.
Offices, professional practices, schools and institutions relocated with minimum disruption. Planned around your calendar, executed out of hours where needed, with everything logged and accounted for.
Art, antiques and the irreplaceable.
Paintings, antiques, pianos, clocks and the pieces a valuation cannot replace. Assessed individually, crated to a bespoke standard, and carried with the particular care they require.
Packing, storage and European customs can be added to any charge. See the full service →
The full service
Each of these can be arranged for any charge. They sit alongside the move itself, agreed at survey and set down in your written quotation.
Moves across town, across the country and UK-wide — the everyday work we were built for.
Door-to-door moves to Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, Austria and across Europe.
Offices, practices and institutions relocated out of hours, every asset logged.
Full or part packing with proper materials, room by room, fragile items wrapped and crated.
Clean, monitored storage between homes and premises, inventoried in and out.
Bespoke crating and specialist handling for the fine and the irreplaceable.
The Articles of Trust
A removals firm is only as good as its word. These are the standards every Bishops move is conducted by — the reason households, executors and businesses return to us, and recommend us.
We look at a move properly before we price it. No quotation rests on guesswork, and nothing is added later that was not first agreed with you.
The written quotation states plainly what is included and what is optional. There is no small print designed to be missed, and no surprise at the end.
Directly employed, uniformed crews carry out your move. We do not place a household in the charge of an anonymous subcontractor.
A full inventory is taken at collection and checked again at delivery, so what is placed in our charge is what is returned to yours.
A single named coordinator holds your move from first survey to final placement — the same person, wherever it is bound.
Art, antiques and the irreplaceable are assessed, crated and carried to the standard the piece requires — never treated as ordinary freight.
Held as our standing word to every household and business we move. — Bishops Removals
The point of grouping our work this way is simple: you should never be sold a service you do not need, nor left short of one you do. A young family moving a first flat and executors clearing a country house want very different things from us — and both should feel the move was held in careful hands.
So we begin with a survey, agree the charge and any capabilities that apply, and commit it to a written quotation. From there a single coordinator carries it through — across a county or a border — and nothing is added later that was not first agreed with you.
Tell us what is moving and where. We will arrange a survey and prepare a clear, written quotation — with no obligation.
