Bishop's Move have an enviable record when it comes to looking after our clients and their possessions.
With over 170 years removals experience behind us, we are realistic enough to know that accidents can happen from time to time.
We understand that when you entrust Bishop’s Move with your move and your belongings, you expect more than just transport—you expect care, accountability, and reassurance. That’s where MoveProtect comes in.
Whether you’re moving 100 yards down the road or to the Outer Hebrides, Bishop’s Move customers can do so safe in the knowledge that their possessions are in the most capable hands. And in the unlikely event something doesn’t go to plan, when you choose to add MoveProtect to your move, you are ensuring enhanced protection for your belongings during removal and storage.
What is MoveProtect?
It’s a simple agreement, that provides protection beyond the industry standard. In short, we take more responsibility for the things that matter most to you.
Unlike traditional removals insurance, which is often confusing and limited, MoveProtect is designed to be clear, comprehensive, and fair. It offers greater peace of mind—without affecting your home insurance policy or leaving you to navigate third-party claims. Most removal companies only insure their liability for loss or damage – not your actual goods – and your household cover may not protect you for your move at all. That means if something is damaged and the mover isn’t found legally liable, you might not be able to claim at all. This can be time-consuming and stressful, especially without an ombudsman or direct route to compensation.
MoveProtect gives you peace of mind that your goods are protected throughout the moving process, up to a value you declare. You don’t need to involve your home contents insurer, and there are no hidden clauses or complex claims procedures. Everything is handled directly with our experienced team.
Cover up to your declared Maximum Replacement Value
Protection against physical loss or damage due to breach of our Duty of Care
A straightforward claims process handled directly by our experienced team
Protection that doesn’t affect your no-claims bonus on home contents insurance
Please note that MoveProtect is not an insurance policy, it’s a commitment by Bishop’s Move to accept greater responsibility under our own terms and conditions.
Your Cover Options
We require all customers to have suitable protection in place. You can choose between:
Opting into MoveProtect by selecting it on your acceptance form and providing a Maximum Replacement Value

For added reassurance for your move, Bishop’s Move adheres to the British Association of Removers’ Alternative Dispute Resolution Scheme, independently operated by the Furniture & Home Improvement Ombudsman (FHIO), providing our customers with an impartial route for resolving any concerns.
