Why choose a BAR Member
Choosing a BAR Member will ensure your move goes smootly. You will have the peace of mind that comes from using a reputable, professional and safe remover, and in the unlikely event that something goes wrong, you’ve got someone to turn to.
- BAR Members provide free, no obligation, clear and fair quotes. As professional removers they can explain to you exactly what they offer and the areas you need to think about. This way you can plan your time and concentrate on the essentials.
- BAR Members are professional companies committed to a high standard of service required by the BAR TSI Code of Practice.
- Reassurance. BAR Members must comply with annual inspections during their membership.
- Customer prepayments are protected in the event the BAR Member cancels or experiences financial difficulties (subject to the BAR prepayment protection plan terms and conditions).
- A free, independent alternative dispute resolution service (ADR).
