Planning a house removal can be a traumatic experience as well as
an expensive one. There are literally dozens, if not hundreds, of revivalists
ready to compete for your job but you must have a plan of action worked out in
advance so you can not only choose the right Furniture Removal
in Battersea, but also get one at the right price.
If you are working to a strict budget you are more likely willing
to do some of the work yourself, even to the extent of hiring a truck and doing
the complete removal. This can be money-saving move but also one fraught with
danger. If you have some heavy items particularly refrigerators and washing
machines, it can be risky to attempt to move these yourself.
Any mishap can result in your property being damaged and the money
you save on the removal will be more than offset with the expense of having to
replace damaged goods. Remember, insurance may not cover self-removals and this
places you at an even greater risk. If you're looking to save money, you can
still get a good deal by negotiating with the removals and having a peace of
mind that comes with engaging a professional service. Here are some things you
can do to reduce the cost of using a house removals.
Do all the packing yourself. This means purchasing all the boxes,
wrapping paper and packaging tape yourself and having everything ready for the removals
to simply come in and take the boxes from your house. Although this might
appear to be a daunting task it is easy once you get started. The hardest room
to pack is generally the kitchen.
This is because you have to individually wrap every plate, cup,
and saucer, and you have to do this carefully to avoid breakages. Be prepared
to use as much paper as possible to give your goods the protection they need so
they are well cushioned during the move. A few dollars spent on extra packing
paper will be well worth it if you come through the other end unscathed.
Reduce the time you revivalists take to perform the move by
clearly labeling every box so that it can be placed in the appropriate room in
your new home. It is easy to color code boxes or clearly label them with large
print stickers so there is no doubt in the removals mind as to where they are
to be located. If you are on hand at your new house you can easily assist the removals
by telling them where to place each box in your new house too.
Make sure you get at least five quotes. When you are obtaining
quotes make sure you ask the same questions and tell each removals the same
thing about your move. This is particularly the case when you are doing
everything yourself so all they have to quote on is the provision
of a truck and labor for the minimum time necessary to effect the move.
These three simple steps and save you plenty of money were
engaging removalists and will certainly make your move much easier.
