You finally got your completion date, and the whole moving house idea suddenly got real. We all know that this can be a stressful time, but it’s an exciting one too! So don’t worry, our home removals guide will help you deal with getting your belongings from A to B.
Finding a home removal company
Unless you only have a few bits and pieces to move, chances are you’ll require the services of a local removal company. You could use a price comparison quote to help you track down the cheapest quote. Or you could ask friends and family for recommendations so you know you’re using a removal firm you can trust.
Otherwise, try using a site that puts you in touch with a trusted local business. Make sure you read any reviews, so you have an idea of what to expect. Alternatively, if you’re looking for removal companies in High Wycombe, take a look at these testimonials from our happy customers.
Shortlisting removal firms
When shortlisting your moving companies, here’s what to look out for:
- Years of experience
- Additional services include packing and providing materials
- Excellent customer service
- Quotes based on your individual situation
Then contact your shortlisted removal companies for a quote. Make sure to include all the services you know you’ll need so you can compare quotes accurately.
Planning
Before you move, you might want to declutter so you’re not paying extra to transport items and furniture you no longer need. You’ll also need to create an inventory to ensure nothing goes missing during your move.
Start packing as soon as you have your removals date, beginning in the least used rooms first. It’s worth using high-quality packing materials provided by your removalists for the best and safest results. If you’re busy or have a considerable number of boxes to move, consider using your remover’s packing service.
This part of the process can seem overwhelming, and a moving checklist can help keep you on track and make sure you don’t forget anything.
Labelling Your Boxes
You don’t have to write an essay, but it’s a good idea to label each box with a quick list of the contents and the room where it should be unpacked. Also, don’t forget to mark any fragile items and keep any essentials separate.
It’s a good idea to pack a separate box to keep with you containing toiletries, medicines, phone chargers and the kettle – or anything else that could come in handy on the day of the move.
If you decide to use a colour coding system, let your removers know the scheme you’re using. Using either of these methods means there’s no confusion when you reach your destination, and the move will go much more smoothly.
