Answers to the most commonly asked removal questions
What do removal companies load first?
Solid based items are usually loaded into the back of the vehicle first. Things like washing machines, fridges, freezers and bulky furniture. Lighter items can then be loaded on top. Care is taken to load items to allow for an equal weight distribution throughout the vehicle.
Do movers want you to empty drawers?
It really depends what is in them. If you have drawers full of books and other heavy items then yes they should be packed in smaller book boxes. If it is a standard bedroom chest of drawers containing clothes then you do not need to empty them. You can leave clothes in the drawers and the movers will take out each drawer and move them individually with the clothes inside. They will replace each drawer at your new home.
Do movers prefer boxes or bags?
If you are packing your home contents then we are happy to move bags and boxes. What we do ask is that your items are packed safely and securely. Heavy items such as books and kitchenware should be packed in smaller boxes so they do not become too heavy.
How do movers pack clothes?
Wardrobe cartons are clever little portable wardrobes. We use these to easily transport clothes from your wardrobes and then pop them back into your wardrobe in situ at your new home. Clothes can be left in drawers, and these are lifted straight out, transported, and then replaced back at their final destination. That said, our packers can use suitcases and bags as well as boxes to pack clothes and linen.
What will movers not pack?
All reputable removals companies will always ask you to take jewellery, cash and small high value items such as electronics with you when you move home. This is to protect our staff as well as your belongings. It is written in our removals documentation and is a rule set out by the British Association of Removers (BAR).
