Why Choose DJ Hanley's Removals and Storage?
Moving house is one of the hardest things a family can do. The upheaval of packing and giving your precious items to a company to move around the corner or across the world is stressful.
However, we understand how you feel at Hanley’s and will put your mind at ease. We have over forty years of moving house and home experience, and our moving team is second to none.
We supply everything you need—boxes, wrapping paper, tape, wardrobe boxes, wooden crates, etc.
Professional Packaging
Packing up your cups, saucers, and personal things can be challenging when moving house. Here at DJ Hanley’s, we know how stressful it can be.
However, our experienced movers and packers take it all in their stride. They will arrive at a time that suits you and wrap and professionally box everything.
In addition, they will also leave everything you need to pack personal items yourself. The team leader will also check your house from room to room, ensuring nothing gets left behind.
International Movers
DJ Hanley Removeables takes moving across the world in its stride. Our packers ensure your treasured goods are secure and ready for the long move.
The experienced drivers and porters understand the importance of every item they move. We handle all your belongings with the most tremendous respect. We also look after your fine art, loved china and glassware.
Furthermore, we pack all items with the best quality packing material and use cardboard or plywood cartons and crates. With Hanley’s professional team, moving from Ireland to the UK or elsewhere in Europe is hassle-free.
Furniture Movers
DJ Hanley’s is unquestionably Ireland’s top home and office furniture movers. Our trained team will control your treasured goods from start to finish.
We understand that each item we move is unique and irreplaceable, and we treat them accordingly.Also, our moving trucks and vans are spotlessly clean, and so are our wrapping blankets.
Your delicate furniture will be cared for accordingly as we secure each item for the move. We mind every item, from the garden chair to your prized collection of porcelain dolls.
Antiques And Fine Art Removals
Moving paintings and antiques is another of DJ Hanley’s specialities. Our team leader will contact you to discuss your needs. Once we have the sizes, we will explain how we prepare your valuables before and during the move.
Antiques and fine art need bespoke packaging. Double-wrapping and dust-free coverings are only the start. We handmake wooden crates to hold the art before placing it into another bespoke carton.
Our clients include museums, art galleries, film producers, art collectors and private collectors. Also, we can discuss extra insurance and other important details before the move.
Piano Movers
Moving your piano takes time, planning, and know-how! At DJ Hanley’s, we have the correct equipment and a trained team to move and transport your beloved piano safely. Over the years, we have moved hundreds of pianos from small uprights to full-sized grand pianos.
Our moving team aims to deliver your piano in perfect condition. Of course, moving these large musical instruments in and out of your home has challenges. For instance, we use a range of winches, ramps and hoists to assist with the move where necessary. Also, a strong team that works together and solves challenges and obstacles helps.

- Plan: Planning your house move is vital. Have a timeline with everything needed for the move, and stick to your deadline.
- Schedule: Reserve DJ Hanley's Removal and Storage well in advance. Doing this will relieve stress and help ease the house move.
- Declutter: Moving house is the perfect time to declutter. Go through your belongings and decide what to keep, give to charity or put in a skip.

- Label Your Boxes: Clearly label each box or bag with its contents and destination room, i.e. living room, kitchen, bathroom or bedroom.
- Notify Change of Address: Inform the post office, banks, insurance companies, and other essential contacts (Family) of your new address.
- Utilities: A few days before the move, arrange for the disconnection and reconnection of utilities such as electricity, gas, water, internet, and TV services. Also, taking meter readings using your phone is perfect.
- Protect Your Valuables: Keep important documents, jewellery, and small valuable items with you. You can also give these items to trusted friends or family.

DON'T
- Don't Wait: Avoid leaving your packing to the last minute to reduce stress and ensure nothing's left behind in the back of a cupboard.

- Don't Rely Solely on Movers: Pack personal and irreplaceable things yourself. (Wedding videos, photos, valuables, etc).
- Don't Forget to Inform Neighbours: Inform your current and new neighbours about your moving date out of courtesy to avoid any inconvenience.
- Don't Unpack Straight Away: Take five minutes to catch your breath, and don't unpack immediately. Have a coffee and sleep on it; tomorrow is another day.
