Moving house is not something that anyone would look forward to, no matter where you are. That stress is magnified several times over if you’re looking at London removals. Unless you have very few possessions, call in the professionals to help you move house. It will relieve some of the stress of the big move. Here are some useful tips from them on handling the big day:
Moving home is a great opportunity to sort out your possessions. Throw away or recycle your rubbish and separate items that can be given to friends or sold to charity shops. Surprisingly that doesn’t just cover your smaller items. The FRN supports various charitable re-use organisations and helps very poor households get furniture, white goods and other household items at affordable prices.
Hire your removal company at least two weeks before you move and remember that you may also have to apply for various parking dispensations from your local authority for the removal van itself. Do get at least three various quotes from companies before deciding and try to select an established removal company that is a member of the British Association of Removers (BAR). That way, you’ll know that they are professional and have adequate insurance cover. Get packing boxes well in advance from local shops or a few supermarkets, and save newspapers for wrapping breakables. Book your moving company at least two weeks in advance of the proposed moving date, and remember that specific timings are important.
When packing boxes do not overfill boxes with heavy goods this only going to create move trouble when you come to move. Drawers in chests can be left filled with linen and clothes but it’s a good idea to at least hire wardrobe boxes for the contents of wardrobes. It will also help if you let your chosen removal company know the amount of furniture you’re moving, so it can choose an adequately sized truck and plan the exact number of journeys needed between your old and new home. Provide clear instructions and directions to your new property and always tell the removal firm well in advance of pieces of furniture which won’t go through the door making a plan of where the furniture needs to go in your new home or agreeing a colour coding system with all sorts of stickers etc is always helpful.
