Read our guide to moving for the first time, and how to navigate the process of hiring a removals company.
If you’re moving for the first time, the process of selecting a removal company can feel overwhelming. To ensure a smooth experience, follow the 6 steps in this guide.
Begin looking for removal companies at least six weeks before your move. This allows time for comparisons and avoids last-minute stress.
Read online reviews and ask for recommendations from friends or family. Reliable customer feedback can help you avoid untrustworthy companies.
Some removal companies offer additional services such as packing, unpacking, storage, and furniture disassembly. Determine what you need and ask upfront about availability and pricing.
Ensure the company is properly licensed and insured. A professional moving company should provide liability coverage in case of accidents or damage to your belongings.
Request an itemised estimate that includes all costs, from labor to potential additional charges. This helps avoid unexpected fees on moving day. Removal Companies can often charge different rates and in different ways, make sure to work out what works best for you!
Communicate with the movers ahead of time to clarify schedules, access issues, and any special handling instructions for fragile items. A good removals company should keep in touch and have a plan set out before their arrival however not all companies are this in depth!
