A step-by-step guide to storage with a removal company
The moving process can be a big task, especially when it includes storing your goods in between house moves. The task is however manageable if you opt to go for the convenience of a removal company that provides its own storage services. Here's the process.
Getting a Pre-move Survey and Removals & Storage Quote
Firstly, get a pre-move survey done by the removal and storage company. During this survey, our experts will assess the amount of storage space you'll need. This usually involves a trained surveyor visiting your house, a video call or a full inventory being provided to take stock of the items to be moved and stored.
By visualising your belongings, we’ll be able to make an accurate estimation of the storage size required.
We'll assess your requirement and guide you to the most suitable solution, considering factors like the volume of goods, potential cost implications and your eventual retrieval plan.
Once our experts have analysed your storage needs, you will receive a quote. This quote will be influenced by factors such as:
- The storage space required
- The location of your new home from your old property
- The duration of storage
Plan Ahead of Moving Day
Remember, planning ahead with your removal company will help ensure a smooth moving day.
You should also ask about any additional services the company might offer, such as packing. While many removal companies provide packing services, it might be worth considering doing your own packing. It can save you money, but there are things you'll need to weigh up.
Reflect on the type and quantity of your items, your available time to pack and the duration your items will be in storage before choosing the best option for your situation.
In all these, don't forget to keep tabs on high-value or fragile items and note any large furniture that might need specialist handling.
