Planning to move home soon?
According to various studies, the average
person in the UK will move home around eight times in their lifetime.
Now, while moving can be a happy and exciting
time, it can also prove quite stressful. Most of the stress is related to
anxiety around having to pack up all your things and safely move them to a new
location.
We’re here to tell you that it doesn’t need to
be all that stressful! There are steps you can take to ensure that your move
goes smoothly. While many people attempt to move themselves with just the help
of a friend or two, this can make the entire process into a lot more work than
it needs to be. One of the best things you can do to ease the stress is by
hiring local movers to help you with furniture removal and transport.
Once you’ve booked a good moving company, you
can spend the big move day relaxed while the professionals deal with the
transport of all your items. All you’ll need to focus on is settling into your
new home!
Still not convinced? Here’s why removal
companies are absolutely essential for your house move:
Moving companies can help pack up
all your belongings for you
Want to ensure that everything arrives at your
new home in perfect condition? Turn to the pros. Most removal companies will offer packing
as part of their services.
Packing can be one of the most overwhelming
tasks related to moving. And when there’s so much to pack, it’s easy for things
to break or get lost in the process. Also, some items are tougher to pack
properly if you’re not sure where to get the right materials to secure them.
Removalists don’t just come in handy on moving
day itself, they can also be hugely helpful for the packing process. Many local
moving companies will offer packing services as well. They’ll have all the
materials needed to make sure all your most precious and fragile items are
securely packed to make it to your new home in one piece.
Not only will moving companies make sure
everything is securely packed, but you’re less likely to lose anything thanks
to their excellent labelling skills and inventory accounting.
Hiring furniture removal experts
can save you time and money
Sure, you could attempt to move all your
furniture items and personal belongings to your new home yourself. You may even
enlist the help of a friend or two to save yourself the expense of hiring a
professional.
But you may actually end up losing money in
the process if anything breaks along the way. Professional
removalists
will have years of experience in safely
transporting items of all weights and sizes. You can have the piece of mind
that everything will reach your new home in one piece and without any damage.
Factor the need for transport into your
planning as well. If you decide not to hire removalists, you will still need to
find transport for all your items. It’s unlikely that you’ll be able to fit all
your personal belongings and furniture pieces in the family car! If you do try
and use your own car, you will need to make a fair few trips between your old
and new home. So keep in mind that any moving quotes will also include
transportation, which means you don’t need to worry about hiring out a van.
Another thing that you’ll save by hiring local
movers is time. Their experience will mean the entire process is a lot more
efficient than it would be if you attempted it by yourself. You (and all your
belongings) can be in your new home in a matter of a few hours!
Moving companies will have all
the equipment you need to make your moving process as seamless as possible
Moving around heavy furniture doesn’t just
require specialist skills and the appropriate techniques - it also may
necessitate specific equipment. Any good moving company will have all the
equipment you need to haul any heavy or unusually shaped items and get them
where you need them. They will use all the necessary means to get your items
into your new home without any sign of damage to them and your (old and new)
houses.
Hiring a professional helps
prevent any injuries and accidents
While attempting to move on your own may seem
like a good idea to start with, you may come to regret it on moving day. You
could risk hurting yourself in an attempt to move some of your larger items.
And the last thing you want is to wake up on your first morning in your new
home with a ton of aches and pains. In the worst case scenario, you could end
up with an injury that troubles you for life.
Save yourself the pain and trouble by hiring
an expert local moving company. With their years of moving experience, they
will be used to dealing with all kinds of lifting and manoeuvring.
You’ll be covered with insurance
If you choose to move all your belongings
yourself, you’ll need to make sure you have the necessary insurance cover to
protect them. Things can go wrong in the middle of a house move, especially if
you’re planning on doing it without professional help. One of the many benefits
of hiring professional removalist is that most are already covered with
insurance. This means you can rest easy and know that you’re protected on the
off chance that there is any damage along the way.
