Accessibility Statement ??? House Removals and Residential Moves
We are committed to making our house removals and moving house services usable and welcoming for everyone across the accessible House Removals area. This accessibility statement explains our approach to accessibility for residential removals and home removal services, including our efforts to meet WCAG 2.1 AA standards and to provide inclusive moving experiences.
Our goal is that all information and interactions related to a house removal are perceivable, operable, understandable and robust. We consider accessibility when delivering moving home services, from booking and planning to the physical move day. Where possible we adapt our processes to support customers with diverse needs, including those who require additional assistance during packing, loading, and transport.

Around the van, several stacked cardboard boxes of various sizes and a small white shelving unit with multiple shelves are visible. The boxes are arranged neatly, with some on the ground beside the van and others on a small platform on the left side of the image. The scene takes place in daylight, with a brick building and a metal railing visible in the background, indicating a typical house in a suburban neighbourhood near [POSTCODE], possibly serving the [TOWN] area.

We design our online and in-person services with accessibility in mind. Key features include support for screen readers, clear keyboard navigation through booking interfaces, and accessible content structure for people using assistive technologies. We apply semantic headings, meaningful link text, and descriptive labels so that users relying on screen-reader software can navigate information about house removal options, quotes, and service details.
How we meet accessibility standards
To support accessible moving and house removal information, we focus on a set of practical accessibility measures:
- WCAG 2.1 AA compliance for contrast, text resizing, and content structure to improve readability for vision-impaired users.
- Screen-reader support through properly ordered headings, ARIA where appropriate, and alternative text for informative images to enhance understanding of home removal services.
- Keyboard navigation so booking forms and interactive elements work without a mouse, enabling customers to manage a house removal using only the keyboard.
In addition to the above, we consider tactile and verbal guidance options for in-person moves where necessary. Our crews are trained to provide clear, step-by-step assistance on move day, and we offer flexible loading and scheduling to accommodate specific accessibility requirements for residential moves.
We provide alternative formats of important documents on request, such as large print or electronic formats that are compatible with assistive technologies. If you need a packing checklist or a moving plan in a particular format, we will work to supply it promptly.
Requesting accessibility support and ongoing improvements
We actively test and review our processes for accessible house removals. Regular checks include automated testing tools, manual keyboard-only navigation, and trials with screen readers to ensure compliance and practical usability for customers moving house in the accessible House Removals area. Staff training covers respectful communication and safe handling of belongings for customers who require assistance.
![Two young individuals, a man and a woman, are sitting on a light wooden floor in front of a rustic brick wall, surrounded by filled cardboard moving boxes of various sizes, some stacked and some on their sides. The man, wearing a blue checkered shirt and dark jeans, appears relaxed with a broad smile, leaning on his right arm with his legs stretched out. The woman, dressed in a turquoise sweater and blue jeans, sits with her knees drawn up and arms resting on her knees, smiling cheerfully. Behind them, several unopened and open boxes reveal typical household items, with some boxes tilted or leaning for balance. The setting suggests an interior residential space, likely a living room or hallway, prepared for a move. The scene captures the moment of packing or unpacking during a home relocation, subtly indicating a house in or around the [TOWN] area, with the focus on the process of removals and household relocation services provided by House Removals.

We aim to continuously improve: accessibility enhancements are prioritized in our service updates and staff briefings. When we discover barriers, we log them, evaluate impact, and implement fixes to make our removal services more inclusive.
