[divider icon=”” style=”simple”]
Gather some knowledge on your chosen removals companies
Gathering relevant information from your chosen moving company will help determine which companies will be right for you or not. Phoning around and speaking to a removals company directly is safer than booking your move online with a company you know nothing about or have not met in person.
[divider icon=”” style=”simple”]
All registered business within the United Kingdom will be registered upon the companies house website, this will tell you whether your removal company is a listed business or just trading under their name, choosing a registered removals company is the start of your moving process.
[divider icon=”” style=”simple”]
Speak to friends and family and also check your magazines, local papers, local shops and yellow pages to see if your removals company is listed in any of these places, this will tell you that they work hard to be reached and seen in the right places, by their clients and that they properly have been trading for some time as a company, so people you know at work may have used the company in the past.
[divider icon=”” style=”simple”]
Once you have established you are looking into a registered removals company, get in contact with them and see how professional their services are and whether they can cope with your exact demands and requirements.
[divider icon=”” style=”simple”]
When contacting domestic removal companies
You should request that they come to see the items and furniture you are relocating, this is the best most sensible option for all home movers. Speaking to an adviser face to face will give you the peace of mind you are looking for, as you will be able to discuss your move in more detail, rather than over the telephone.
[divider icon=”” style=”simple”]
A professional moving company will offer you a free home survey and would normally never charge you a price over the phone for your relocation, unless in different circumstances, where your home is that far away from the companies operating branch. To get the fairest most cost-effective price and services for your home relocation always demand a home survey.
[divider icon=”” style=”simple”]
Check that you removal company has your chosen date available. Be firm that there is no other parties waiting to move for that date you have requested with the company as many companies will try to rush your removal, to attend another, so be sure your move is booked for the full day.
[divider icon=”” style=”simple”]
Ask your domestic removal company how many removal men you’ll need and what size vehicles they will have available to complete your move successfully and effectively.
[divider icon=”” style=”simple”]
Ask your removal company if they provide maximum security storage facilities that you may need when moving home.
[divider icon=”” style=”simple”]
Ask your removal company what level of goods in transit insurance and public liability they will have, in the likely hood that your wardrobe is broken or something lands on your foot during the moving process.
[divider icon=”” style=”simple”]
All of these questions should be ask and are very important when choosing your domestic removals company. If you are still not 100% satisfied you can request that they forward you copies so you can look it to this with more detail. Many professional companies will be more than happy to provide you with the relevant information you need to secure your move safely.
Accepting domestic removal quotations
Before booking your move some removal companies will request that a deposit is paid before the removal can take place, this is quite a normal procedure, however full payment should never be requested before your removal service is complete.
[divider icon=”” style=”simple”]
When accepting a removal quote you will need to receive some sort of confirmation either by post, email or fax never by phone as this could cause complications later on into your move. Keep a copy of what your removal quote is so this will be the price you pay when the move is complete, unless extra services are needed on the day.
[divider icon=”” style=”simple”]
Once your home survey is completed and you are pleased that the survey is successful, along with the price and the removal services the movers are going to complete you may book your move in.

How to protect your mattress when moving house the simple way
Thinking of buying a mattress? Mattresses are big, bulky, awkward to carry and can easily get dirty, when moving house to your new home. Some mattresses can be extremely heavy to lift, hold or carry and you may need to place your mattress on the floor a few times while moving the mattresses to the removal vehicle. As your mattress is some thing you sleep on you will want to be sure it is kept clean. Following our simple step by step guide on how to protect your mattress when moving house will ensure your mattress is not scuffed, damaged or dirty, when it arrives at your new home.
Items you will need
Shrink wrap
How to protect your mattress when moving house – step by step guide
- Be sure you have enough room and space to wrap the mattress safely
- When wrapping your mattress you may need two people, one to hold the mattress and one to wrap the mattress
- Stand the mattress up, length ways,
- Using strong durable shrink-wrap start from the top corner of the mattress,
- Stretch the shrink-wrap across the top of the mattress and round to the opposite side
- Be sure there are no gaps and the mattress is not exposed at all
- Continue using the shrink until both sides of the mattress is completely covered
- Rotate the mattress round, to be sure it is fully protected
- If required a further layer of shrink-wrap, please use it, this will help keep your mattress clean and tidy at all times during the moving process
Other methods on how to protect your mattress when moving to your new home
There are many modern ways of how to protect your mattress when moving home a few of theses we have listed below
Plastic mattress protectors – are reusable and can be used to keep your mattress clean and tidy. They are simply placed over the mattress just like putting on the bed sheets.
Padded mattress protectors – are more expensive and are normally used by professional removals and storage companies. They are easy to place the mattress inside by unzipping the mattress protector and putting the mattress in the middle and zip back up again.
Both of these items above are more expensive per item, where as when using shrink-wrap you still have the protection your mattress needs and you can use the shrink-wrap to wrap multiple mattresses, saving you money on your packaging materials.
If you are planning on moving house and doing the packing on your own, seek professional advice, as this can save you time and money in the long run
