When it comes to moving house, the endless packing, lifting and loading, plus a few logistical headaches can leave even the most organised people feeling overwhelmed.
But what if there was a way to take the hassle out of moving, reduce the risk of damage to your belongings – and injury to yourself – and ensure a smooth transition into your new home? Enter professional removal companies. Expert removals, despite what you might assume, is often more affordable than you might think and almost always worth the investment.
The true cost of moving house
Many people assume that hiring a professional removal company is an unnecessary expense, opting instead for a DIY approach to save money. However, when you factor in the hidden costs of moving by yourself, like van hire, fuel costs, packing materials – plus the sheer amount of time and effort required – the DIY route quickly becomes costly and exhausting. And that’s before you even consider the potential risks of injury or damage.
Professional packing and moving companies, on the other hand, should give you a bespoke quote that’s tailored to your move and circumstances, meaning you won’t pay a penny more than is needed. It works out far more cost-efficient compared to the stress, inconvenience and financial implications of going it alone. Let’s take a look at how using a removals company works out to be much better value than a DIY move.
Why book expert removals?
Save yourself time and effort
Moving is a time-consuming process, from carefully wrapping all your items to dismantling and reassembling furniture. Book a specially-trained removals team and you can be sure everything will be done in a fraction of the time it would take you. This means you can focus on other essential aspects of the move, such as setting up utilities, handling paperwork, liaising with estate agents and settling into your new home. If you choose the DIY approach you’ll still have to think about all these things, as well as actually make the move happen.
Your things will be properly packed
Packing is an art and professional movers have it down to a tee. With high-quality packing materials and expert techniques, even your most fragile belongings can stay well-protected if you book a packing service.
Imagine slaving away wrapping up each individual piece of glassware, or stressing over bubble-wrapping your awkwardly shaped furniture, only to find it still gets damaged in transit. Book an expert packing service and you can relax in the confidence that everything will arrive safely at your new home.
Removals insurance gives you added peace of mind
Of course, accidents can occasionally happen, no matter how much care is taken. When moving house by yourself, any damage to your belongings is entirely your responsibility. But moving companies offer comprehensive removals insurance, giving you even more peace of mind. So, in the rare event of damage or loss, you’re covered.
You’ll get your furniture set up for you
After a long day of moving house, the last thing you’ll want to do in your new home is re-assemble all your furniture and lug it into place. Professional removal teams don’t just drop off your belongings at the door; they’ll carefully unload, reassemble, and position furniture exactly where you want it inside your new place. This allows you to start enjoying your new home immediately, rather than spending hours figuring out how to put everything back together.
