Two Ways in Which a House Removals Company Can Make Moving Easier

Blog

Here are two examples of the ways that a house removals company could make moving easier.

They can move bigger appliances and furniture quickly and safely

One tricky aspect of moving is transporting a house owner's bigger appliances and furniture (like a full-sized fridge freezer, a washing machine or a six-seater sofa). This is challenging not only because of the weight of these items but also because of their large dimensions, which can make carrying or pushing them through a house's doorways as well as up or down sets of stairs very difficult.

However, those who work for removals companies are skilled at handling this difficult job and can do it far faster and more safely than the average person who tries to move their own bulky items themselves. This is partly because of removalists' experience, which allows them to tell, for instance, almost immediately after looking at a big appliance and the stairwell it needs to go down, what position that appliance needs to be put in to fit through that set of stairs.

However, it is also due to the preparations they make before moving big items; they will, for example, measure the width of a house's doorframes, stairs and windows before attempting to push or lift any large furniture pieces or appliances through them and will ensure that they attach lifting straps to any bigger items before picking them up. These precautions eliminate the risk of, for example, a big sofa getting stuck in a stairwell and taking hours to remove or a large appliance being dropped whilst it's being lifted.

They pay attention to the small details   

The other reason why house removals companies make moving easier is that their employees are skilled at paying attention to the details and dealing with small issues before they start to disrupt a house move.

For example, if a removalist picks up a client's box and notices that it feels extremely heavy and that the cardboard flaps at the base of the box are sagging, they won't try to carry it to their truck in this condition; instead, they'll lay it down and remove and repack some of the heavy items (with the client's permission) to make the box lighter, and then perhaps reinforce its sagging base with some extra packing tape. This attention to detail could prevent the box's base from opening whilst it's being carried and its contents from falling to the ground.
