Planning is essential to any successful move. This begins with a survey to understand the access requirements of your property and any special items you need to transport. Our experienced team will help you plan back from your moving date so every step is taken care of. We can also suggest comprehensive international removal protection through one of our trusted partners.
We understand and are experienced with handling items such as:
We need to know of any parking restrictions/permits required, and access information to your property including any stairs and/or lifts and any obstacles we may encounter. It is a good idea to inform your neighbours of the removal date.
We next move onto the survey of your property. In order to assess all items, we need to gain access to all rooms, cupboards, wardrobes, every nook and cranny, including on top of, behind, underneath and by the side of! The same detailed attention of course applies to; offices, lofts, cellars, garages, sheds and any other out-buildings.
We understand and are experienced with handling items such as; antiques, fine arts, (including ornamental features), time-pieces of distinction, wine collections, pianos and other musical instruments, flammable items and documentation all require specialised attention.
We put people first, which is why we take into account your individual situation. Special consideration needs to be given to all those involved in your move.
Perhaps you have an elderly person or persons living with you. We do understand conditions such as; frailty, limited ability, disability, Dementia, Alzheimer’s and various mental health conditions. We respectfully tailor our services around your individual circumstances. We will make sure our team is fully aware of any special requirements.
We again afford special consideration. We understand children may have many emotions about the move and always take these into account.
Please do advise us if you have any pets, they need special consideration too!
This is a guide for you, we hope it helps. Obviously every moving situation is different, but hopefully this gives you some useful information.
You may decide to have your property professionally cleaned when you move out, and/or the property you are moving into.
Whichever level of service you require, we can handle that for you.
We have a wealth of experience with national and international shipping, removals, and exportation. Whatever your individual requirements are, we are able to advise you and organise everything for you. Move protection is paramount, whatever the logistics your move entails.
You might want to consider additional cover. When goods are traveling by land, air, and/or sea, your belongings need to be fully covered, especially for fragile goods. Air freight is considered less risky than sea transit, due to the possibility of rough seas and shorter transit times.
In the unlikely event of any of your belongings being damaged in any way, or lost, having the correct cover will ensure the repair or replacement. You can rest assured we can advise you as to which cover is the most suitable for you.
In summary, whether your move is national or international, cover is crucial to safeguard your belongings. We are here to provide guidance and ensure you have the appropriate coverage for your specific needs.
Specialised international cover mostly works on an itemised basis. It is a good idea to value each item of your belongings on the assumption of replacing it, like for like. Items that are worth over £500 should be classed as high value. Appropriate cover should be put in place.
