We often hear that moving is a tough job. The truth of the matter is that until you are faced with handling your own domestic relocation, you do not know the half of it. Experience shows that unexpected surprises come out of nowhere on all stages of such projects and only through careful planning and calm, balanced decisions a person on the move can deal with those. But keep calm – for every situation there is a solution and one great such solution would be if you hire trained helpers in London who can give you a hand.
Here we have gathered some of the most often-seen challenges that people need to cope with them conducting a domestic removal.
Too short a notice
Especially if you live in rented accommodations, it is quite likely that you will have to relocate on a tight schedule which is naturally quite stressful. If you think that you do not have enough time to cover all the requirements for a hassle-free removal, you are wrong. Your top priority is to find a reliable man and van in Dalston E8 (or wherever else in London you are based) to help you move quickly and without incidents. Then focus on three things:
- Make a list of all items that you will be taking with you and start packing them.
- Take care of the end of tenancy cleaning to avoid quarrels with the landlord
- Create a solid moving schedule and stick to it
Once you cover those necessities you will eliminate much of the hassle that comes with moving on short notice.

Long distance
Even if we are not talking about an inter-city removal but one that is within the territory of Greater London, you may still have to cover quite a distance in order to reach your new address along with your possessions. This poses some logistical problems. One of the most sensible things to do is to find a moving contractor that operates in the area you are relocating to help you manage those issues. Say you are moving to SW1. A certified man and van in Belgravia SW1. When planning your moving day, you should leave room for flexibility. Have in mind that delays of up to an hour or more are quite plausible due to traffic, road construction work etc. Also note that if you are moving to another borough, council regulations about parking and other details important for your successful relocation may differ from the place you currently live in. Get acquainted with those in advance.
Fragile items
No matter whether we are talking about an expensive big screen TV or a valuable set of china, items prone to break during relocation is a real headache. In order to secure them, buy premium quality bubble wrap and put them in as small boxes as possible. Purchasing Goods in Transit insurance might very well be the most sensible thing to do, especially if you will be transporting a large quantity of really valuable possessions. Ask your movers for help if you are not confident in your packing skills.
