Removal Tips

Removal Tips. With this type of furniture, dismantling and re-erection are not covered by our quotation. The most appropriate person to dismantle and reassemble these fittings is the person who originally assembled them and this work should be performed prior to the arrival of the moving team. We can undertake this service for you at an additional cost, however our insurance policy does not cover dismantling and re-erection of self assembly furniture.

The contents of attics and lofts should be sorted out and placed in a bedroom or another convenient spot prior to the arrival of the moving team, this ensures they can view the entire scale of your removal when they first arrive and prevent anything being forgotten.

If you are moving into store, please ensure that all personal papers and documents are retained by yourself, it will prove expensive to search for a driving licence or passport that is unexpectedly required. Fridges and freezers would require defrosting 48 hours prior to removal to store.

All of these should be taken down prior to the arrival of our moving team, please place mirrors and pictures in a neat stack rather than placing them on an item of furniture which may have to be removed before the pictures and mirrors are packed.

Any clothing already on hangers can remain on them as we will provide specialised wardrobe cartons into which these clothes will be packed. All other items of clothing should be packed into suitcases.

All bedding and linen should be folded and placed into suitable cartons or bags, however if we are providing a packing service, lay these items onto a bed and they will be packed by a member of our moving team.

Generally, chests of drawers containing clothes can be moved full. China, glass, ornaments and books can be left in the cupboards and on shelves if we have quoted for a packing service, however it is the customer’s responsibility to check all cupboards have been emptied.

Food cannot be removed into storage. When forming part of a direct removal from one home to another, care should be taken to ensure that all packets, together with lids on jars and screwed tops on bottles are secured with tape.

Access to and from the doorway of your home is critical for our vehicles please explain to your neighbours in advance that a large vehicle will be parked outside your home and possibly cause some degree of inconvenience to them. Similarly inside your home please ensure that passageways and staircases are left completely clear for our moving teams.
