ADVICE FOR MOVERS

1. Whether you have exchanged or not, contact our office to arrange for a free quotation or to discuss your specific requirements.
2. Confirm with us what level of service you require.
3. If you have already exchanged, agree a firm completion date. If you haven't exchanged, then always contact us prior to exchange in order to ensure your preferred removal date is still available. Better to be sure rather than commit to a date and find a company is fully booked!
4. Arrange for delivery or collection of your packaging materials.
5. Confirm a packing date or make sure all of your effects are properly packed and clearly marked well ahead of your moving date. Ensure furniture is dismantled as agreed and all appliances are disconnected, cleaned and drained (if applicable).

7. Make arrangements for children and pets to be looked after on the day.
