Moves That Don’t Cost The Earth
Welcome to On The Dot Removals Bristol
At On The Dot Removals Bristol our mission is to provide an affordable, efficient and friendly removal service which is both socially responsible and has minimal impact on the environment. We specialise in domestic house removals and commercial office relocations nationally and across Europe
As removal service providers we recognise our work is with people who are moving through a potentially stressful time of their lives. Fully aware of this, we take pride in our responsibility to offer exceptional support during this period. It is of fundamental importance to us that we build rapport and trust with each individual person we work with from the moment you contact us through to the day of your move. We take our work seriously, as moving house is a serious business.
As European Green Capital in 2015, Bristol is renowned for its forward-thinking culture and environmental policies and practices. And yet for so many people moving home in Bristol, removal companies aren’t what spring to mind when it comes to reducing their own carbon footprint. We want to change this by putting environmentally responsible removals on the Bristol map.

Great value for money. Very efficient, the movers were friendly and professional, and managed to move some of our bigger pieces of furniture around tricky spaces easily and without damage. It was a very reasonable price for the service we received, and we would recommend to any of our friends wanting to move in the future.

March 13, 2020These guys were great. They moved me without any hassle at all from one second floor flat to another second floor flat, coping with all the stairs in both addresses, and with my huge collection of books, CD and DVDs, not to mention a three-seater sofa which needed some very careful persuasion to before it would agree to enter my new flat. I can totally recommend them. All the best, guys!

Used On the Dot twice, moving my belongings in and out of storage. Can absolutely recommend: good communication with the office, and staff was punctual, friendly, worked in an efficient and structured manner, extremely careful not to damage anything. Brilliant!

September 23, 2019My partner and I used On The Dot Removals a couple of weeks ago and were super impressed with how thorough and proffessional their service was! The guys that turned up to move us went out of their way to be polite and friendly and to make the transition to our new house as smooth as possible. Would recommend 🙂

Was an amazing service and great value for money. I was recommended a "mini move" due to the amount of stuff I had to move, which was for 2.5 hours. Despite having some exceptionally heavy things to move - they had me done with time to spare. So, credit to both of the guys, they were prompt, efficient, hard working and got me moved with zero stress. I don't plan on making moving houses a regular occurrence, but if I did, I'd use these guys every time.

Absolutely great, they turned up as soon as their previous job was done which meant we got it several hours early, friendly, efficient and helped with dismantling a bed we didn't have the right tools for. Also they were happy to do a half day job meaning they were about half the price I was quoted by another firm.

October 14, 2021Andy and Dom moved my entire house possessions today from storage. I couldn't have asked for a better company or nicer guys to do it. They turned up early and they were cheerful and nothing was a problem for them at any point. Their positive attitude and good disposition made quite a stressful day a lot better. Thanks guys.

On The Dot made what could have been a stressful moving process an absolute breeze. Dave was extremely helpful over zoom, provided some tips to save us some hassle in the packing process, and sorted us for a slot with a week's notice after our move date accelerated forwards faster than we expected Moving day the team were there bang on time, extremely friendly, and packed up our slightly difficult 5th floor flat quickly and carefully. Fantastic removals service which I can't recommend highly enough

May 7, 2021Fab removal team - John, Dom, Jamael - were organised, efficient, calm and supportive, especially appreciated as we were stressed out and hadn't finished packing when they arrived! John also gave invaluable advice about early 'packing' of our cat so she wouldn't run off. We were really pleased we moved with On the Dot, lovely guys, highly recommended.

A Greener Approach to Moving Home in Bristol
We only work with reused removals boxes, recycled wrapping paper and biodegradable bubble wrap. All of our staff wear fair trade certified uniforms made from organic materials and we accept the Bristol Pound, which helps support and promote local Bristol businesses and communities.
We also actively encourage lower fuel emissions by offering our customers half price if they are able to utilise one of our empty removal vans on route back from another job (we’ll even go up to ten miles out of our way to get to you). This not only cuts down on our C02 output but offers the chance for our proactive customers to make huge savings on their removal costs.
Choose to have a Free home removal survey and we’ll even cycle over to see you.
A Bristol Removal Company you can rely on
We are committed to offering exceptional customer care at every stage of the removal process, from the moment you speak to us on the phone, through to the big day itself. We will explain every stage of the process and will offer you the package that best suits your needs. We really do want your moving day to be as stress-free as possible.
If you require a smaller move or just need a few boxes shifted, we also offer a Bristol Man with a Van service.
Things to consider when booking a Bristol removals company
When choosing a Bristol removals company there are various things to consider. For a definitive list see 6 tips to choosing the right removal company, but here’s our quick guide:
Q: How long have they been established?
A: On The Dot is a fairly new company, having been established in 2011. Over the years we’ve acquired all the skills and knowledge of how to carry out a full house removal without a hitch.
Q: How large is the company, can they be competitive for both small and large Bristol removals?
A: We’re a small company, with just 3 removals vehicles. This allows us to remain competitive on price for small removals and “man with a van” type services, but also means we can offer very competitive prices for larger 2 and 3 bed house removals.
Q: Do they have all of the necessary equipment to ensure your goods are safely transported?
A: All our removals vans are fully stocked with the standard Bristol removals equipment: blankets, straps, sack trucks etc. We can also supply specialist equipment on request, such as mattress covers, artwork carriers, wardrobe boxes, freezer bags, etc. Please contact us with your requirements.
Q: What insurance do they have in place?
A: All Bristol removals companies should have standard removals insurance in place, however, it’s not compulsory by law and some don’t, so it’s worth checking. We cover for up to £20,000 goods in transit and £1m for public liability.
Q: Can they demonstrate accountability for their work through a transparent and trusted reviews platform such as Google+?
A: We have lots of reviews available to view on Google+. Google+ is a great platform for reviews, as it’s open to everyone to leave their comments and quality checked by Google themselves. Not all review platforms are built the same, so do your research if good reviews are an important factor in making your decision.
Q: How far are they able to travel and what are is the extra fuel charge for this?
A: Generally most of our moves either start or end within Bristol or close by. If we have to travel outside of Bristol, we do add a fuel charge, but generally, we charge fuel at cost price, so there’ll be no nasty surprises.
Q: What are they willing to carry in their removal vans?
A: We will generally carry pretty much anything in our removal vans, as long as it’s not very dirty or illegal and it doesn’t bite. A full list of exclusions can be found in our terms & conditions.
Q: Can they carry out both domestic and commercial removals in Bristol?
A: We mostly carry out domestic home removals and flat removals in Bristol, however, we are happy to quote for office moves and sometimes do collections and deliveries for commercial purposes.
Q: Do they charge VAT?
A: Most Bristol removal companies charge VAT on their prices. More established companies certainly will be VAT registered. Whilst this means you may pay a little more it is likely you will be getting a more experienced service.
