How a Hallmark move works
Your own Hallmark move expert
From your first enquiry, you will be looked after by one of our friendly and experienced Hallmark move experts.
They guide you at every stage from enquiry to delivery to your new home.
Move consultation and accurate quote
Take the uncertainty out of moving. Your Hallmark move expert will spend the time to understand your move requirements.
They arrange a survey of your home and contents to provide an accurate move quote so there are no nasty surprises later in the move.
A real moving business
With so many moving websites popping up, who book your business and outsource the work, it’s good to know that with Hallmark you deal directly with the people who will pack and deliver your move.
You can even drop in and meet Rob and Kirk, our owners. We think it’s important you know who is moving your belongings.
Own packing teams and bags of experience
Everyone at Hallmark has between 10 to 40 years’ experience, so it’s good to know we’ve handled almost every kind of move. Which means we provide the best advice when it comes to yours.
Own warehouse, trucks and gizmos
Having our own warehouse, vehicles and specialist moving equipment gives us better control of our business. Which certainly helps to provide a great moving service.
Export standard packing
Our pro-packing teams use export packing standards to ensure the most delicate items arrive in the same condition wherever you move.
We also apply this standard of care to UK-wide moves to protect valuable furniture and items.
Simplify paperwork
When it comes to moving, especially internationally, paperwork can be confusing. Getting it wrong creates delays and increases costs.
From making quotes easy to understand, to ensuring your customs documents are correct, we remove uncertainty and keep costs down.
Local or worldwide with customs clearance
Whether moving by road, container ship, plane, or train, our local and international service covers all locations.
We also manage the customs process for you, which is one less thing for you to worry about.
Insurance and protection
We don’t leave anything to chance when packing, nor do we leave anything to chance when your possessions are being transported by air, road or sea.
Our insurance is competitive and removes any anxiety around moving between countries.
Antiques, classic vehicles and special items
From art works to pianos, designer furniture to classic vehicles, we have the expertise and specialists to move items of unique value.
It took craftsmen to create these objects of beauty, so it’s only right that craftsmen pack them too.
Moving-in and settling-in
We take care to protect your new home. We protect floors, walls and bannisters when moving-in your furniture and belongings. We also remove used packing items for recycling.
We also offer useful services such as handyman and maid services to get you nicely settled-in. Just ask.
Quality and environmentally conscious
As business owners with families of our own, we want to make sure providing the best quality moving service does not cost the earth.
Our environmentally sustainable packing, recycling and offering lowest emission transport options means moving makes more environmental sense than buying new.
Moving should be a better experience
Rob and Kirk are the owners of Hallmark Moving
30 years ago, Rob started by learning the craft of packing furniture and managing highly complex family moves, a bit later Kirk started a business making high quality and sustainable packing materials used by movers.
Why we started Hallmark
Whilst we came into moving from different angles, we found common ground in Hallmark and our mission to provide people with a better moving service.
We want to bring back the art of moving
We feel something was lost in the last decade. Like many things, furniture and belongings have become disposable, and with that the art of high-quality packing and moving is disappearing.
We believe people don’t want to throw away well-made furniture and replace it with generic flat-pack pieces. They also don’t want untrained people in handling their move.
So, we made a moving business for people who love their homes and value what they have. Whether it’s your grandmother’s sideboard or a unique art work requiring bespoke treatment, we offer the skills and service you need.
We want to remove anxiety from moving
Importantly, we understand first-hand how moving home can make everything feel uncertain. When you move with loved ones it is more complex and often emotional.
With so much happening at once and many unknowns, even a small problem can feel overwhelming.
We want to provide people certainty around their moves. We believe in honest pricing, proper moving skills and keeping our promise.
All this means you have less to worry about when moving - locally or internationally.
