How To Choose The Right Removalist

2. CHECK IF THEY SPECIALISE IN HANDLING FRAGILE ITEMS

Most removalist firms will have the same basic equipment, but if you have fragile items or furniture to move, you need to ensure you’re hiring a business that can handle these safely. Ask each company you’re considering how they will handle your belongings and what they will do to reduce the risk of damage during transit. If you’re moving an antique item or a valuable piece of furniture, like a grand piano, then it might be worth paying more for a specialist service.

3. SEE IF THEY OFFER PACKING AND STORAGE

If you want your belongings carefully packed up for the move, or if you want them stored for a short time, enquire about these services before committing to a specific company. Some removalists will charge extra for packing and storing items in their warehouses, while others will provide this option as standard as part of their service. It’s worth asking about how items are stored (e.g., in temperature-controlled units) as well as what insurance cover is included.

4. GET A FREE QUOTE

It’s important to get more than one estimate before you sign up with a removalist. Getting quotes will ensure you’re not caught out on the day of the move and that you’re 100% clear on what services are included in the price. When getting quotes, ask about boxes and packing materials as well as any insurance options that may be available to protect against damage or loss during transit. An expert removalist will be happy to provide a no-obligation quote, so if you contact a company that won’t, this may be a warning sign.
