House & Flat Removals Across Renfrewshire and Glasgow
HJG Removals handles house and flat moves of all sizes across Renfrewshire, Glasgow, and the wider West of Scotland. Based in Johnstone, our fully insured veteran-led team covers everything from one-bedroom flats to large family homes. We load, transport, and unload, and we can add packing and storage to the same booking if needed.
House Moves
A house move with HJG covers the full job. We arrive at the agreed time with the right vehicle and crew for the size of the property, load everything carefully with padded covers on furniture, transport to the new address, and unload into the rooms you specify.
We work across all property sizes. A two-bedroom semi and a five-bedroom detached both get the same approach, the crew, vehicle, and time are sized to what the job actually needs.
Mattresses are protected with covers. TVs are boxed. Wardrobes and large items are padded for transit. Nothing goes loose on a van without wrapping.
Flat Moves
Flat moves in Glasgow and Renfrewshire come with their own challenges: tenement stairwells, no direct parking, shared entrances, and floor levels that add time and effort to the job. Our crew handles these regularly and plans around them.
We do not add stair charges or upstairs fees. If you are on the third floor of a tenement with no lift, that is factored into the quote rather than added as a surprise on the day.
For studio flats and smaller properties, a may be a better fit. We will tell you which option suits your volume when you enquire.
Large Property Moves
Large property moves, four-bedroom homes and above, need careful planning. Volume is higher, more crew is required, and the time involved is greater. We assess larger moves properly before quoting rather than guessing on an online form.
For large properties, we typically recommend a visit or a detailed phone conversation before the quote is finalised. This avoids underestimates on both sides and means the move runs on schedule.
Loft contents, garages, and outbuildings are often the areas that catch people out. Flag these at the quote stage so we can allow time and bring the right boxes.
Preparing for Your House Move
The more prepared the property is on move day, the smoother and faster the job runs. A few things that make a practical difference:
- Box up loose items and label by room, the crew can stack labelled boxes in the right rooms at the delivery end
- Disconnect and defrost appliances the night before (fridge-freezer especially)
- Clear wardrobes of loose items, or let us know if you want wardrobe boxes included
- Flag any large, heavy, or awkward items (piano, American fridge-freezer, gym equipment, pool table) at the quote stage
- Confirm parking at both addresses before move day, parking issues slow jobs down significantly
If packing is something you do not have time for, our can be added to the booking.
Packing and Storage
Packing and storage are available alongside any house move booking.
If you need professional packing, either a full pack, a part pack, or fragile items only, we bring all materials and pack the day before or on move morning. See our page for detail on what is covered.
If your move dates do not align, you need to be out before you can get in, our in Johnstone holds your belongings between moves. Items are collected from the old property and delivered to the new one when you are ready.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you charge extra for stairs or upper-floor flats?
No. We do not add stair charges or upstairs fees. If your property is on an upper floor, that is factored into the quote from the start, not added later.
How far in advance should I book?
Four to six weeks is a good target for most moves. Fridays and month-end dates book up faster, if your completion date falls on one of those, book as early as you can. We do take short-notice bookings where availability allows.
Can I add packing to my house removal booking?
Yes. Packing can be added to any house move booking. Tell us at the quote stage whether you want a full pack, a part pack, or fragile items only and we will factor it in. See our for what is included.
What if my move-in date does not match my move-out date?
We can collect from the old address and hold your belongings in our in Johnstone until the new property is ready. This is a common situation and we handle it regularly.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Yes. We are fully insured and carry goods-in-transit cover. If you have items of particularly high value, mention them at the quote stage so we can handle them appropriately.
