Free utility setup service for movers
The average UK mover spends 7 hours dealing with utility setup and admin.
Here is a list of essential services you need to set up for your new home.
Gas and electricity are usually left connected in the UK, so they're available from day one. You're responsible for taking opening meter readings and informing the current supplier of your move date, after which you can shop around for a better tariff.
You need to let your water company know when you move in. If you have a meter, give at least 5 working days' notice to arrange a final reading, and let them know if you've moved to a new area.
Council Tax funds essential services like rubbish collection, the fire brigade, libraries and schools. You'll need to contact your new council with your move details to set up billing, and your band (A-H) is based on the 1991 property value.
Unlike other utilities, broadband and TV need a new connection, which can take up to four weeks. Research available suppliers for your address and book installation once you've chosen a package.
Yes! Our service is completely free for movers.
