Finding and choosing a removal company is challenging. In times like these there are so many options and competitive companies that a number of methods may be used to select an appropriate moving company.
A good way to start is to ask friends and family whether they can recommend a firm for you. Traditional resources such as the yellow pages could also be consulted as well as the internet.
Before calling home removal firms or listing up your moving request, decide which level of service you require. Full-service is the most convenient option, as the home removal firm carries out all aspects of the removal from the packaging up of your goods and furniture, loading/unloading and then unpacking at the new address. However, this is also the most expensive option.
It is also important that you have a list of the items you want to transport (i.e. inventory) as it is a key area which home removal firms will look at when giving you the quotes. Our free online residential quote form serves as an inventory which you can conveniently compile in the process of getting your

Do not forget to agree on the date you require your home to be moved. You may wish to move on a Friday, which gives you the whole weekend to unpack before you have to go back to work. However, make sure all the facilities in your new home are running smoothly as a weekend without power and gas is not a pleasant way of starting your life in the new home. Use our free change of address checklist to write down the numbers of paid services for your new location and also find out which service offices are open during the time of your move to prevent inconvenience.
Insuring your valuables is also vital to any move. You never know if a road accident or natural disaster decides to intervene. Such unexpected events may cost you dearly.
Finally, do give yourself plenty of time to prepare for your moving date by booking your removal firm as soon as possible (ideally at least a month before your desired move date). You will find that by leaving it to the last minute, there may be a lack of reputable movers still available along with the most competitive quotes.
