Whether you are moving home or workplace there are so many jobs that need to be done. It is a stressful time and here we take a look at some of the work involved when planning a removal.
Regardless of whether you are moving home or business, the general concept is that the contents need to be transferred from one place to another. There isn’t any fast and easy way to move the contents of a place, it is time consuming and takes a lot of planning. Here we provide some helpful hints when you are planning removal.
Start early preparing your moving checklist. You will no doubt be considering your options and how you are going to do the move. Removal services offer a selection of service and ways to help with all sorts of moves from huge warehouses to an apartment. You need to get some information on the weight you are moving, the sort of contents i.e. is the fragile and need handling with care, and in fact the list can go on.
But, basically if you need a moving van for the day then they will provide one to suit your needs for the time you want it. Or you can opt for a man and van hire and have the advantage of help from the driver to load and secure it for the delivery.
Make a list of all of anyone who has your contact details and start to inform them of the address change. It is worth paying to have your post redirected at the post office then this allows post to catch up with you after you have left. It is easy to forget some contacts you know. If you are moving a business then this is an important job to do. Start to place advertisements to inform clients old and new of the up and coming move.
You need to consider the packing. Buy packing supplies from specialists or ask at local supermarkets and shops to save boxes for you. Save newspapers, and buy marker pens, strong tape, scissors, labels, plastic sheets and bubble wrap from DIY stores. Get loads of boxes as you will need them. It is a good idea to try and get similar sized and make certain they are not too heavy as you have to be able to lift them. Label clearly and itemize them with which room they need to go in. Colour coding is a good idea, and that helps when you get to your new place.
Reducing the amount you are moving is a good idea and for many movers the first step. It is in a way a good excuse to have a clear out and get rid of unwanted rubbish, either by selling it or donating to charities. If you have a lot of rubbish it may be worth hiring a skip or clearance company to come and take it away. You can trust them to dispose of anything safely and have the satisfaction that most of it is reused again. A service worth paying for!
If you haven’t the time then it is best to get in touch with a professional removal company these can deal with everything from supplying the packing materials, actually doing the boxing, the loading, transfer, unloading and unpacking. This sort of service is great if you have the money and want a skilled service. The good thing about hiring a professional removal company is they will arrange everything and have the experience to do the job much faster than what you could do it yourself.
