If you’re planning on making a move soon, you
may find yourself feeling excited but also slightly overwhelmed. A lot of the
anxiety around a house move can be related to the moving process itself. But
with the average person in the UK moving home around eight times in their life,
it’s important to learn how to get organised and reign in the chaos ahead of
the big day.
Now, there are a number of things you can do
to get yourself better organised for your house move. You could start with
making a timeline, decluttering and packing early. However, the number one most
helpful thing for a house move is hiring professional removalists to help you
move your things.
Not quite convinced? Here are just some of the
reasons why you should consider hiring a team of movers to ease the moving
pain:
Hire removal experts and you’ll save
time and money
Shop around to find the best quotes by getting
in touch with a few local removalist companies. The cost of their
services can be seen as an investment. Not only will it save you precious time
and effort as they’ll take care of the entire physical moving process for you,
but it can also save you money as your items will be moved to your new home or
office without any damage. Professional movers are trained in moving items
without causing any damage. However, if you attempt the move yourself without
any professional help, you may find that some of your items end up needing to
be replaced if they get damaged or broken along the way. Give yourselves the
peace of mind that all your belongings will reach the new premises in one piece
and great condition by hiring movers.
Moving companies will provide
transport for the move
One of the main reasons why many people hire movers
is because they don’t have transport big enough to move all their furniture and
bigger items. If you decide not to hire movers, you will still need to hire the
transport for such items. If you do decide to use a smaller car, you will need
to make multiple trips back and forth to get all your items from one
destination to another. Make the entire process a lot more hassle-free by
hiring movers or a ‘man with a van’
service.
Remember, the years of experience that movers
have will mean that the entire transportation and moving process will be
significantly quicker than if you attempted it yourself. You and your
belongings could be at your new property in a matter of just a few hours.
Many moving companies also offer
professional packing services and packing materials
Want to make sure that everything gets to your
new house in the condition it left your old house in? Hire a professional team
of movers. Not only will they get your new things transported quickly and
efficiently, but many removers also offer packing services.
Although you can probably pack many of the
items in your home yourself, professional packers are experienced in packing
larger or unusually shaped items that can be difficult to pack. They will also
be skilled and trained in how to pack and handle more fragile items safely,
making sure that such items don’t get damaged or broken in the packing process.
Another thing that moving companies can help
with is efficient labelling. You’d be surprised how many people forget to label
boxes properly, making it a lot more difficult for movers to do their job
properly. Make sure you label all your items clearly, with a short description
of what each box contains. We’d also advise using a colour coding system that
is highly visible, using a different colour for each room so that movers can
easily see which room a box belongs in.
Movers that offer packing services will also
provide high-quality packing materials
that will protect your goods
as they’re being transported. You can have the peace of mind that all fragile
items and personal belongings are packed securely for you.
Moving companies will have the
necessary equipment for a hassle-free house move
Moving heavy items doesn’t just require skills
and training - some items may also require special equipment to move. For
instance, if you’re looking to move a large piano or any other bulky or
unusually shaped items, you may need to depend on a reliable moving company to
provide you with the necessary equipment to get it to your new home safely.
You may also need to move things out from very
tight spaces or from a window of a flat on a higher floor, which requires special
equipment to do so safely. Not quite sure what you need? Give your local
removalists a call to find out. Any good moving team will be able to assess
what is needed to get the job done and to get you moved to your new house
efficiently.
Prevent injuries and accidents with
professional moving help
Although some people do attempt to move
themselves without professional help, we wouldn’t advise it for your next move.
Other than the obvious convenience factor, there is also the issue of safety.
No, we’re not talking about the safety of your items, we’re talking about
safety for yourself and your family (and any friends who might be helping
without professional experience). By trying to lift and move heavier or bulkier
items yourself, you risk hurting yourself and risk injuries to your back and
spine.
Moving so many large items will also result in
you waking up with sore muscles for the next few days. Start life in your new
house on a fresh and revitalised note by hiring professional help to do the
heavy lifting for you (literally). They will have years of moving experience
and will be able to deal with all the lifting and shifting without any injury
to you or themselves.
Hiring a moving company includes
insurance
Choose to move without professional help and
you may be left without insurance cover as you transport your belongings. By
hiring a professional removalist team, you’ll find that most of them are
already covered with the necessary insurance. This means that if things do go
wrong for any reason, you and your belongings will be protected. You can have
the peace of mind that you’ll be covered if there is any damage or accidents
along the way, even if the chance of these occurring is minimal.
