Moving out is a messy process and with a lot of things going on in our heads, we end up making things even messier. That’s why furniture removalists could be really helpful in moving and keeping the process organised. There will be so many things happening at once when moving data for which you have to be prepared so that you don’t end up with last-minute surprises and lose your mind. For a stress-free moving day, make sure you have proper knowledge about furniture removalists and their working style because once they arrive, they leave only after unloading stuff.
1. Pre-Move Confirmation
Communication is Key
After booking a furniture removalist, make sure you keep in touch with them and they will call you a couple of days before your scheduled move to confirm important things like time and address. When they contact you, remember to tell them anything important and clarify things like parking availability or access to elevators and stairs. Also, if you have narrower streets or building access codes, make sure they know about it and give them proper directions so that they don’t waste time.
2. Arrival and Introduction
Meet the Moving Team
You will be pretty much relaxed after the moving team arrives at the given time to your place and they will take a quick look at the house. After which they will discuss the plans they have in mind for the moving process and if there are things that need special attention or handling, like fragile antiques or heavy appliances. Also, things become even easier when we add tags to the boxes and rooms so that the team knows where they have to keep things at the new place.
They will also take a look at
- Staircases or tight hallways
- Furniture that needs to be disassembled
- Large or odd-shaped items like pianos or gym equipment
3. Furniture Disassembly and Wrapping
Protection Comes First
The best thing about furniture removalists is they can pack those items that require disassembly, like bed frames and dining tables. In this way, they make sure the furniture is secure and they wrap it in a protective material like moving blankets or plastic wrap.
4. Loading the Truck
Organized and Efficient
Professional movers have experience in handling different furniture, and they know how to use maximum space in a truck. So, they first put the heavier items in, then move to the lighter or fragile items, which are stacked on top or put in a special place where they stay secure. They use things like straps and ramps to move items safely and make sure that furniture isn’t damaged.
5. Travel to the New Location
On the Road
After the loading of furniture and other items on the truck is done, movers will start moving to the new location. They will either follow you or they will give an estimated time for reaching the new location. Once they are at the new place, remember they are going to unload the stuff from the truck, so make sure your new place is ready for unloading, including access to parking and elevators.
6. Unloading and Placement
Putting Everything in Its Place
Furniture removalists do not only remove furniture but also put it back so at the new place, the movers will unload everything and put it wherever you want them to. They will also resemble the furniture they have disassembled unless you don’t want them to do so.
They will also:
- Handle fragile items with care
- Position heavy furniture like beds and sofas where you want them
- Stack boxes neatly in the correct rooms
7. Final Checks and Sign-Off
Making Sure It’s All There
When movers are done settling every piece of furniture and other item at your new place, they will ask you to check everything once to make sure nothing is missing or damaged. Remember to check everything thoroughly before they leave the house and point out anything you find missing or wrong. Once all of this is done, you can make their payments and let them go.
8. Tipping and Feedback (Optional)
Show Your Appreciation
If you liked the furniture removalists service, you can tip them and show your appreciation towards them. However, this is not mandatory and you can do it as per your will; also, helping them with feedback through an online review would really help the business grow.
