8 Important Moving Day Tips

You have actually been clearing your mess and evacuating your products, but your removal quote was more costly than you expected. Here’s what affects the expense of a move, and what you can do about it.

What could make my home move expense more?

We work extremely hard with our removal partners to try and ensure you get an accurate quote when using reallymoving, but there are always going to be a couple of circumstances that can include costs to a home move.

We suggest asking your removal group for getting a ‘removal survey ‘, where a member of the removal group will come and assess your home. This way they can see simply just how much things you have and can accurately approximate how big a van you’ll need and how huge a team.

Arrange Your House Removal Dublin

Here are a couple of things that can have an influence on the expense of your home move:

Being on a high floor with no lift

It’s going to cost you more to move if there are lots of stairs to get to your flat (and no lift). This is for one of two reasons. Either it will take longer to move whatever, so you’ll pay for the additional time, or the removal company will employ more individuals to accelerate the move, however you’ll spend for a larger team.

It is one of those unfortunate things that can’t truly be avoided. Some people might want to try and take a lot of the products downstairs themselves in the hopes of accelerating the procedure, but bear in mind that you’ve worked with professionals who know how to carry heavy or hard items properly without putting themselves or your items at risk.

Parking range from the home

It might not be your fault, however if the removal team can’t park the van near your home, it’s going to take them longer to fill, which will cost you more.

Set up any authorizations or parking access in advance if you can. Whether that implies applying to the council for authorizations or talking with your neighbours about obstructing their driveway, the more you plan, the simpler it will be.
Don’t forget this applies to the property you’re moving into, in addition to the one you’re leaving– making or obstructing the roadway life difficult for your new neighbours isn’t going to make the very best first impression.

Disassembly and reassembly

Validate beforehand just how much disassembly and reassembly will cost– don’t presume that those additional services are included in your quote.

You can, obviously, pick to disassemble items yourself and cut the expenses, but if you are worried about doing this, it’s best to leave it to your removals firm and just shoulder the extra expense.

As this is an extra service, constantly remember to reserve it beforehand. Otherwise the timings your removal team will have worked out will be wrong, the move will take longer and you’ll wind up paying more.

Garden items

When looking around your home, it’s so simple to forget the garden and miss it out from your quote. Additional items like garden furniture or a shed loaded with tools is right away going to increase your expenses.
Work out in advance whether you prepare to take specific structures (greenhouses, sheds, play houses, climbing frames) with you when you move, and whether you’ll be disassembling them yourself.

Keep in mind also that some products can’t really be moved by removals firms– open cans of paint, fertiliser, particular chemicals and plant pots often won’t be accepted. Other items can be moved by removals firms however may require maintenance or preparation ahead of time– for instance, if you want a removals firm to transfer a lawnmower, it needs to be empty and fairly clean.
