Legitimate Man and Van will be Insured

Once you have decided to move to another property you need to decide what removal company you are going to choose. In fact, the first choice of all is to decide whether you are going to employ a professional removal company, a professional man and van or become ‘white van man’ yourself for the day. Obviously, although cost considerations come into your decision, you will need to decide your budget and stick to it, although one of the more important considerations has to be a company that offers the best service. It is certainly quicker nowadays with removal companies posting their rates on the internet so you can evaluate each removal company and make an assessment far more readily.
Once you have planned your budget and decided how much you can afford you need to decide exactly what you need to pack, leave behind and keep handy for the actual trip. Always pack tea and coffee-making items separately so you can quickly put your hand to them when you arrive at your new property: you will, no doubt, enjoy a quick drink to unwind from the trip and I am sure the ‘man’ part of your man and van team will enjoy a cuppa before starting to unload! Although people often do tackle removals themselves, if they are going any distance it is far more advisable to organise a professional to cut down on any potential stress that could otherwise be incurred.
Planning is Important
Once the initial excitement over moving to a new property has subsided, you are left with the hard and often tedious work of planning your move: then, of course, there is the packing to consider and the unpacking at the other end. Choosing a professional man and van that can come along and pack will be an enormous load off your mind. Naturally, you are still going to have to select what you intend to take, but at least the job itself can be ticked off the ‘to do’ list. It is also important that you arrange your removals from London as soon as you know you are definitely going to move because otherwise you could well be disappointed. Despite the removals’ business being a vastly competitive business, if a removals’ firm is any good it will quickly become known for its efficiency, professionalism and expertise – and, here comes the rub: they have a waiting list of sorts and may not be able to get the date you really wanted.
In one way, that is good to know: if the man and van are much sought after, they must be good which gives you a bit more confidence in booking him. Arrange for him to give you a free estimate and, if you are fully satisfied and his estimate is within your budget, book him quick! It is still up to you to check up on their terms and conditions, and to check that they are insured. However, any legitimate man and van who is any good will also give you a printed copy of their insurance, plus terms and conditions.
