How To Lower Your Removal Costs

Moving house is one of the most stressful things in life apart from losing your job or getting divorced. So we thought we’d give you some tips which will take away some of the stress of moving and lower your costs too.

Dispose of unwanted items
Prior to moving spend time in each room of your house and your garage going through all of your furniture and household items. If something is damaged and beyond repair then dispose of it, and if it is something that you haven’t used in the last year then look to selling it or giving it to your local charity shop. That way you you’ll arrive at your new house organised, tidy and stress-free plus you’ll have saved yourself the hassle of packing and the cost of moving it.

Don’t take risks
Check out your removal company’s reputation before being swayed purely by cost. Are they accredited? Are there other costs to consider? Companies that are accredited have a strict code of conduct to adhere to in all aspects of a move which includes offering best prices for wrapping, packing and transporting your goods, to save you money in the long run.

Wrapping
Use professional packing cartons which are stronger and more durable than normal cardboard boxes. Plan ahead and try to save costs by collecting recycled packing cartons from your removalists which may either be free or offered at a reduced cost.

Plan ahead
Don’t wait until a few days before moving to phone and book a removalist company. Instead a few months ahead you should looking online and phoning companies to compare the services they offer and the costs. If you leave it too late, you may struggle with availability, time slots may be limited, and prices are likely to be higher.

Let your removalist know what you’re moving
Finally remember to let your removalist know if you’re intending to move large or speciality items such as a piano, pool table, spa, or treadmill so that they can factor this into the costs and have the appropriate vehicles and removalists on the day.
