9 Removal Companies

Why should I hire removal companies?

Unless you manage to live very minimally and can pack everything you own into a car, chances are you may need some assistance when you move house. Whether it’s a man with a van or a large international removals company, there’s a service that will accommodate your needs.

Some house removals will involve total house clearance work – perhaps you’re stripping bare your old place and redoing it before selling it on? Or if you only need a few large items moved, there are lots of removal companies that will be happy to offer furniture removal, and may even be willing to take items to the tip for you if you’ve decided to get rid of them. If you find a reliable man with a van, he may be able to accommodate you throughout your whole move – helping you with house clearance, taking items to the tip, to storage containers, to salvage yards and finally helping to move everything into your new place. A man with a van service is often a bit more flexible than a removals company, so consider individual movers as well as large firms when you move.

If you’re planning a more drastic move and heading abroad, shipping companies will be able to assist with larger, more complicated items such as shipping your car to another country, as well as the rest of your items. For an even more comprehensive moving experience, relocation services can not only move your items but help you settle in and assist you with nearly all aspects of your move. This is especially helpful if you are moving for business reasons and you’re not familiar with the area or anyone who lives there.

If you’re moving at the same time as carrying out renovations, you may need to liaise with your other contractors as well as removal companies to make sure the move and house clearance can go as seamlessly as possible.
