HOME REMOVALS | iRemovals Birmingham

The move of an apartment, a villa, or an entire house can be carried out within a day or even take many days; this does not only depend on the quantity of furniture, furnishings, clothes and anything else that will be transported but also on the distance travelled from the old house to the new one, on the preparatory stages of packing and dismantling, on the final stages of unpacking and reassembling wardrobes, wall units of the kitchen and so on.

Moving into a new home is a process that can be much more complicated than it might seem at first glance because there are many aspects to consider. Usually, those who try to do it themselves face new problems, which they need to be made aware of only during construction, with consequent waste of time and generation of stress. Some phases of the move require specific skills, which can only be acquired with years of experience in the field.

To give you an idea, here is a non-exhaustive list of the tasks you will have to take care of if you do not rely on a professional removal Bordesley Green company: finding the packaging materials, suitable cardboard boxes in sufficient numbers to store your goods, carefully dismantling the furniture and pack them so as not to ruin them (and at the same time not to lose screws and bolts and mark each part and then reassemble it in the right place and the correct order!), catalogue everything, writing on each package, so as not to go crazy trying to find where you have put things, rent vans for transport, find parking as close as possible to the new house where you are about to move (not to mention that you may need a permit for the occupation of public land if you use a ladder truck), protect the floors to avoid scratches, pay the utmost attention so as not to cause damage to the new condominium during transport, and so on.   

Organizing a move, valuable tips for moving your house

 Are you about to move into your new home with us? Do you need to dismantle and pack your furniture? Need help figuring out how to do it or where to start?

To guarantee you the best service, we have prepared a small introductory guide to prepare you for moving day:

Moving: what do I bring, and what do I leave? A preliminary selection

Moving can also be an excellent opportunity to clean, a bit like during Easter cleaning, where we take back everything we have and decide what we want to take with us and what to throw away instead.

So, an excellent way to prepare for the removal of Yardley Wood is to do a preliminary cleaning, starting by throwing away what you are sure you won’t bring into the new home. This selection can be made when it is most convenient for you, even during the packaging phase (although it could lengthen the time). Still, we advise you to do it shortly before contacting us so we can guarantee you a more accurate quote and a lower price.  

Material research

If the packing phase is not carried out by us, it could be helpful to start collecting and putting aside newspapers, boxes and bubble wrap (the plastic sheets with air bubbles), thanks to the help of friends, acquaintances and relatives, to prepare for the packaging phase and unsafety of fragile items. Otherwise, you can contact us, and we will provide you with all the necessary and most suitable material for every situation and need.

Valuable tips for packing objects and furniture: Where to start?

By now, you will have an idea that behind the word Removals Castle Vale, there are a thousand or more aspects hidden, and packaging is one of those that can prove to be the most subtle. At first, you might think it will be child’s play; I put things in boxes and off I go; I have few things…

Unfortunately, the reality is very different, except in rare cases, you have many objects crammed into your home, from clothes to pottery, from furnishings to paintings, from small appliances, cabinets, trolleys to mountains of books, to name a few.

Packing even just the kitchen can require much more perseverance and willpower than you might suspect: just think about each drawer and wall unit and how many objects are inside it… filling each box by packing every part can take a lot of time for those needing experience. How many packages will be required? It seems never to end! Will I be packing the right way?

Therefore, relying on a specialized company like I Removals Birmingham is essential to ensure that your fragile goods are packaged in the best possible way and, simultaneously relieve you and your family of further stress in this delicate phase of the move.

Whether you decide to rely on us or want to carry out the packing phases yourself, before starting, we recommend that you reflect on this question: What are the things that I need to be able to find quickly and that I can’t do without?

Grab a pen and paper and list all the things you can’t do without on moving days. Think of the move as a short trip: you may need several complete changes because the season is scorching, items for hygiene and personal care, medications taken daily, etc.

These objects must be carefully placed separately and brought to the new home last (or you can also keep them in the car) so that they are always readily available.

Imagine what a problematic search it could be to have to recover them, perhaps in a moment of urgency, searching in already closed boxes, among the packaged material, or even crammed on the truck!

Contact us and plan your move.

 Contact us for an inspection and a quote. We will agree on a date (or more if necessary) to pack, dismantle, load the furniture and boxes, unload and reassemble everything.

Before the inspection, if you have time, you could draw up a short list of the things you don’t want to move (usually, there are many fewer than those that will need to be transported), dividing them into areas of the house, such as the kitchen, the living room, the bedroom, but also any cellar, garage, attic etc.

This way, you will not only be able to get the most convenient quote, but it will also guarantee that you won’t forget anything and have a second chance to think about the things you won’t bring.
