Is it Possible to Move House in London without Stress

Once you reach the point where you have to decide what kind of removals service you want to use to move, you will need to arrange to get a written estimate. There is such a wide variety of London removals around that you will find quite a wide choice. In fact, you can choose between man and van, a small family run moving company or even one of the multi-national or international London removals based in and around the UK capital city. Then, of course, there is the moving company that is a specialist in a specific kind of removal such as a piano removal specialist, or a specialist company that has been specifically trained and insured to move valuable works of art or antique furniture. With London removals, the choice is both varied and vast, with plenty of competition to keep the costs down.

To Move Yourself or to Use Assistance
I suppose most of us have done it at some time or other: rallied round our friends with promises of pizza and lager or a big bottle of wine and practically made moving day a fun day out with our mates. As you get older most of us get wiser and realise that an efficient move, with a moving company paid to do all the work, is far more fun – and easier on the back muscles! The stress and stamina of self-moving is definitely for the young. For those with the stamina and enthusiasm for lifting heavy objects and staying the course, you can hire out a self-drive van and often pick up sufficient boxes free from one or other of the local supermarkets. However, as we get older we tend to consider it money well spent to purchase boxes that are specifically made for the task of house removals, and then use a London removals firm to relocate us from one spot to another.


Get Removal Day to Go with a Zing!
The first thing I would say to anybody moving house is to make sure that any animals you have are removed to kennels or cattery and any small children deposited with Grandma for the day if possible. Believe it or not, that reduces stress quite considerably and enables you to concentrate on the job in hand. Unless it is absolutely unavoidable try to move on any other day of the week apart from Friday. Apart from the fact that you can get cheaper rates if you avoid Fridays, this day of the week is traditionally London removals busiest day and, generally, if anything is going to go wrong, it is comparatively more likely to go wrong on a Friday – just from the sheer volume of work on that day!


Be Clear on Who is Doing the Packing
It is certainly cheaper if you are doing your own packing but there are all sorts of reasons why somebody else might be better packing than you are. Sometimes it is an issue with lack of time on your part, making it essential that the London removals firm you have booked comes to pack for you. If you intend to pack your own boxes you need to check the details of your home insurance to see whether you are covered for any breakages of property whilst in transit. Once all that is organised, try and enjoy the day – and keep tea and coffee-making things to hand!
