Moving can be a stressful experience; there is no doubt about that. Most people don’t look forward to most tasks that need to be done, including sorting out, packing, transporting, dismantling, and turning their life around generally. But, perhaps the most challenging task is staying within the moving budget and saving wherever possible. Even though you should keep your expenses in control, there are certain things that are worth paying for when moving house. You can spend extra on these to ensure a smooth and hassle-free removal.
Hire a professional cleaning company
For all those who want their deposit back and who don’t have time to thoroughly clean their old place, make sure to hire pros for the job. The place has to be spotless after you leave because that is the only way to get your deposit back. If you have time, you can clean it on your own. Talk to your landlord to find out what areas you should focus on the most when cleaning. If you are required to steam clean carpets, make sure you hire professional for that job. Hiring pros is a great investment in this case. Not only it will help you save time and energy, but it will also help you with that deposit you surely need in these times.
Hire professional movers
If you are having second thoughts on whether to hire a professional moving company in London that offers full house relocation solutions, secure small removals in London, etc. or to move on your own, then you should definitely choose the first option. If you can afford hiring movers for all moving tasks, do it. Professional movers have experience and expertise when it comes to:
- Strategic packing (even bulky and specialised items)
- Lifting and carrying (special tools and skills)
- Disassembling/reassembling furniture
- Loading and unloading a moving vehicle
Knowing your valuable goods are in safe hands has no price. They will make sure to deliver them without a scratch. And, in case something goes wrong, the insurance will cover it (which is not the case with a DIY removal).
Rent moving tools
If you hire an insured man and van in Crayford DA1, for example, you won’t have to worry about moving tools. But, if you choose to move on your own, you and your friends will have to carry your furniture, boxes, appliance and other stuff down the stairs or through narrow hallways and load it onto the moving truck. Since there will be a lot of lifting and carrying and most goods are heavy, you need to have some equipment that will help you get this done without injuries. You can rent basic equipment, including a dolly, straps and ropes, furniture slides and ramp. This investment is worth it because it will enable you to handle heavy items quickly, safely and without personal injuries.
Quality packaging
Perhaps the most crucial part of any removal is packing and protecting the items from damages. If you don’t pack it properly, you might end up with dents, scratches, broken items, etc. Therefore, invest in quality packing supplies, like packing tape, bubble wrap, coloured labels, specialised boxes for a TV or mirror, and other. These are worth the cost.
