No Stress or Anxiety! A typical Domestic House Move in York from A&M Removals…
I’ve been wanting to thank you for helping us move house stress free! Starting by coming to give us a quote, dropping boxes the same day I asked for them and finally sending two brilliant guys who were so professional and took such care with all of our possessions. They were so organised and I couldn’t believe how EASY! It was!!!
We have moved quite a few times to say the least as have always rented and normally have moved ourselves with help of family and dad’s van! I can’t believe how calm I felt moving this time!! I didn’t feel one bit of stress or anxiety worrying about everything being moved and people having to move it all… We should have used you every time!!!
We have now bought our own home and staying there for a while – but when we come to move-on again we will not hesitate to use you again and can’t recommend you enough.
Brilliant, professional, stress free, perfect service 🙂
Thank you.

Your Complete Guide to Moving House in York
Moving to York is exciting! This historic city offers a unique blend of charm, culture, and opportunity. Here’s everything you need to know to make your move smooth and stress-free.
Why Move to York?
York is one of the UK’s most desirable cities to live in – and it’s easy to see why:
- Rich history: From the ancient city walls to York Minster, every street tells a story.
- Great connections: Quick access to Leeds, Harrogate, and London via direct train links.
- Excellent schools & universities: Home to The University of York and York St. John University.
- Vibrant culture: A mix of independent shops, restaurants, and historic pubs makes it ideal for families and students alike.
How to Prepare for Your House Move?
- Start Early: Begin planning your move at least 4–6 weeks in advance and secure your preferred removal date as early as possible.
- Declutter: Reduce what you need to move. Donate, sell, or recycle items you no longer use.
- Label Everything: Mark boxes clearly by room and content for easy unpacking.
- Pack Essentials Separately: Keep important items like documents, chargers, and toiletries in one box for easy access.
- Update Utilities & Address: Notify utility companies, your bank, and local services of your move in advance.
When Should You Book a Removal Company in York?
Ideally, book your York removal company as soon as your moving date is confirmed. We recommend at least 2–4 weeks’ notice, though AM Removals can often accommodate short-notice moves thanks to our flexible scheduling.
