About us
A family-run removals firm from Motherwell
TransScot is based at Suite 3.10, 7 Scott St, Motherwell — an office in North Lanarkshire rather than a national call centre. We move households and businesses across Glasgow, Lanarkshire and Central Scotland, and we do long-distance moves out of Scotland to the rest of the UK.
The vans start and finish the day here. That is a practical fact rather than a marketing one: it is why a Lanarkshire job can sometimes be done at shorter notice than the same job would be elsewhere, and it is why the crew that surveys your house is generally the crew that moves it.
How we work
Four things we hold to
We survey before we price
Almost every complaint about a removals firm comes down to a price that changed. The way to avoid that is to look at the job first — in person or on a video call — and then put a written figure in writing. It takes longer to quote and it means the number holds.
The access is the job
Mileage is the easy part. What actually decides how long a move takes is the floor, the stair, the turn at the half-landing and where the van can legally stop. We ask about all of it up front because it is what we are pricing.
One crew, start to finish
The people who load your house are the people who unload it. Nothing is handed to a subcontractor partway through, and nobody arrives at the far end who has not seen how it was packed.
We say what we will not do
We do not take hazardous items, we do not certify IT networks, and we are not a valuation service. Saying so early is more useful than discovering it on the day.
Who you deal with
Actual people, not a ticket number
Both names appear on the quotes and booking confirmations we send, so you always know who to ask for.
George
Move Manager
Runs the moves. If you have a survey, a date to confirm or a question on the day, this is usually who you are speaking to. Named on every booking confirmation we send.
Leda
Moving Adviser
First point of contact for enquiries and quotes. Handles the office end — surveys, quotes, dates and paperwork.
What customers say
4.7 out of 5 on Trustpilot
From 23 reviews. We also have reviews on Google — the two are kept separate rather than averaged into one number, because that is not a real score.
