Hamiltons Removals

What Hamiltons Removals does

Hamiltons Removals Limited is a UK private limited company founded in 1993 and headquartered in Harleston, Norfolk, providing household and commercial relocation services. The company operates from a single warehouse/operational base on the Suffolk/Norfolk border that serves East Anglia and supports weekly scheduled European departures. Its service portfolio spans UK house removals, European removals (France, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Spain, Austria), and long-haul international moves to Australia, Canada, the USA, New Zealand, South Africa, Cyprus, Turkey, and the UAE, executed via 20ft/40ft containers, groupage, and air freight through an overseas partner network.

The company's core technology is a removals and logistics management system, supported by a proprietary video survey capability that enables remote, 24/7 quotations without in-person visits, and an online Contents of House form for detailed estimates. Adjacent revenue lines include a Safe n Stored subsidiary brand that offers container, self, caravan, and boat storage on a recurring basis, a packing materials e-commerce shop, and a Currencies Direct partnership branded as Hamiltons FX Service for international currency exchange.

The business model is predominantly transaction-based: residential and commercial customers request quotes online or by phone, sales staff arrange in-person or video surveyor assessments, and removal work is performed on a one-time project basis. Storage generates recurring monthly revenue, while currency conversion is monetised on a transaction-fee basis. The customer base is fragmented across individual household relocations and small-business office moves, with no named enterprise anchors disclosed.
