Plan Ahead

Before choosing a removal company, it’s important to plan ahead and make sure to complete any necessary paperwork and packing before confirming your removal dates. Once your belongings are all packed in boxes, they can be ready for collection. Depending on how far you are moving, it’s ideal to check with your removals when or what time your valuables will arrive in your new home. The move will be less stressful when everything is planned out nicely.

About the company

Find out as much as you can about the company you want to hire. You can also check out the company’s standard and see whether it fits your criteria and your expectations. It’s essential to find out what services they offer. You can also find out how long the business has been running. A great company must be able to provide a high level of service. Ideally, you should visit the company’s website or contact them directly with any of your queries or find out more about them.

Reputable

A reputable removal company should be equipped with the appropriate insurances and trained staffs who can safely carry out the job. You know that you can put your trust in a company which meets all the requirements of a reputable company. The process of moving out is already stressful and can be difficult to manage, but with the help of a reputable business, you can put your mind at ease as you can ensure a smooth and stress-free transition.

British Association of Removers

Find out if the company are a member of the British Association of Removers (BAR). The BAR ensures the firm follows a professional standard throughout their services. They also ensure that the company’s staffs are professionally trained and are knowledgeable about what they do.  

Company reviews

By looking at a customer’s review about the company, you can get an idea of the level of service they provide. Aim to look for companies who have a good amount of positive reviews as you can expect to have a good standard of service. Reviews and testimonials can either be found on their website or Google reviews.

Cost

The costs will vary depending on the services offered by a company. Some companies can base the price on the distance or the weight of your belongings. Other companies may base the cost per hour, per man and the size of the van. Find a company who are reasonably affordable and who can meet the cost of your budget.

Recommendations

Consider any good recommendations from your colleagues, friends or family. Recommendations prove that they have previously used the company and are satisfied with the service provided.

Insurance coverage

Find out what kind of insurance they offer. Is the insurance free or is there an extra charge for an extended coverage? Most reputable companies should be able to provide some coverage for your belongings while they are in transit. You can also check with your home insurance company if they can provide some coverage for your valuables when you’re moving out. The cost of the insurance is an important factor to consider when looking at the overall cost of the service.
