Tips For Choosing the Correct Removal Company

Read our top tips for choosing the correct home removal company when it comes to your house move.

So, you have booked a house move and are looking to book in a Local Removal Company or a Long Distance removals company and not entirely sure what to look for? You have tried the searches “Removals Near me” “Man and Van Near me” etc etc but you are still unsure what to look for when choosing the company? Here we will go into 5 key points that are important whilst booking a removal!

1. Use A Local Removal Company

Now, we say a local removal company will be more beneficial as many companies will charge for fuel and if they aren't local or travelling to or from the area they operate in you are going to be charged a substantial amount for fuel costs!

2. Is There Insurance In Place?

Not all removals companies have insurance and it is just bad practise however you do get them, when in contact with a company make sure to ask about their policies! Any reputable Removal Company or Man and Van service will have insurance in place to give you ease of mind and decrease stress levels!

3. Removal Costs

Now this is a very difficult subject as all companies can charge a different fee and charge it in different ways. Some removals companies do an hourly fee ranging from £70-£100+ an hour and some companies will do a set price for your move. Honestly, choose whichever works best for you! But remember cheaper is not always better, make sure the company has everything else on the list!

4. Equipment

All removals companies should carry the correct equipment but honestly sometimes it can turn out that they justify a few blankets as being “enough”. A reputable removals company should have at the very least;

  • Removals Blankets
  • Padded Blankets
  • Straps & Bungees

Along with all of that at Johnsons Removals we carry Sofa covers, TV Covers & Mattress covers as well as all the tools necessary for assembling and dismantling furniture!

5. Actually Want To Work With Them

Many times here at Johnsons Removals we get customers calling and saying how hard it was to get a quote or how rude other companies can be over the phone or even in person. Honestly moving home can be one of the most stressful times so to avoid that make sure you pick a company that will work with you and not against you. The last thing you could possibly want is to be sat there all day with a rude removals man either ignoring you or just trying to rush the job. We will say it again MAKE SURE YOU WANT TO WORK WITH THE COMPANY YOU BOOK! It can be so important to relief stress!

So thats our tips for choosing the best removals company that will help relieve stress and make a more cost efficient Home Removal! If you have any questions or need a quote for your next House Move please get in touch with Johnson’s Removals!
