Moving house is incredibly hard; it’s both physically demanding and can often be financially demanding too. On top of this many people try to save on the costs of removals by attempting a DIY removal, in the hope that it will save them a bob or two, although it probably will save a little cash the stress of doing so won’t save your sanity! In fact for those who thought it was a good idea to move without help, mainly basing that decision on costs, often later realise that hiring help was actually a necessity and they end up regretting not doing so. Here’s why most people who never hired removals in the first place go on to wishing they had.Take the load off, literally!For a start the physical side of moving is incredibly hard. Lots of heavy furniture and boxes are to be lifted, carried and moved around during the process and not everybody is physically able to manage it. Some people will attempt to try it anyway but by doing so you could be putting yourself at risk of injury, and many have sustained injury doing this.Movers are trained how to handle heavy lifting and are taught how to lift and carry heavy furniture to reduce the risk of injury occurring. Even with expert knowledge moving still has it risks, anyone can easily pull a back muscle or accidently drop something heavy on their toes and it does happen but expert removals are willing to take that risk as it’s their job, if injury occurs they can take the time off from employment or even make an accident claim to compensate for their loss.As well as the physical aspect of it, lifting those heavy items the wrong way may result in the item being dropped or damaged as you attempt to manoeuvre it through difficult small spaces, this can cause damage to the item or its surroundings, if not done properly. Not only do removal teams take the load of literally they also take the weight off your shoulders mentally as by allowing others to come and do this hard work for you means that you can savour your energy and concentrate on other important things, throughout this move. How else can removals help?Man and van hire is a great way of enabling this move to go ahead quickly. We all want to move fast, to get it done and dusted in no time at all, and that is exactly what removal companies are good at. Since they do house moves every single day, they do not find it to be as difficult as it may seem to a novice, due to the amount of practice they have had at handling removals they will have learned all the tricks of the trade along the way and you usually find that most removals will move you in half the time it would take to move without them. It may take a whole day for you to attempt it alone whereas half a day for them to do it and this is generally due to the fact that they know how to best load a van to fit more items into, and sometime they actually fit the whole lot in the van, in one go. Of course this depends on the size of the removal van and how far the distance is, to the new property. There’s no going back!Hiring removals to help you move is a great way of determining the fact that it’s actually going to happen. For some the thought of moving a long term home can be rather traumatic and by using removal to set the date for it, followed by a deposit payment helps to set in stone the reality of it and your less likely to change your mind. It may be the push you need!
