Home Removals & Office Removals Advice

We hope this guide will help you prepare for your Moving Day, and that it will minimise the stress that some people associate with moving home and or moving office.

Please remember, we want you to have a smooth move as much as you do.

Moving Out Checklist

Arrange a Quotation Comparing your Quotations
Choose your Mover & Book Parking for Vans/Lorries on Move Day
Unwanted Items Carpets & Electricians
Packing & Materials Fridge Freezer / Washing Machine
Your New Home People to be informed about your change of address
Moving Day  

Arrange a Quotation
For reliability we recommend a local professional BAR or RHA remover, as members of these associations must follow strict codes of conduct to ensure they comply with all professional standards.

Comparing your Quotations
Are you comparing like for like?, check the insurance offered, packing materials and service types, are they experienced etc.

Remember that the cheapest quote is not always the best one to select, & the most expensive is not always the best either, so make sure you have confidence in the mover you choose and make sure you read the terms and conditions.


Choose your Mover & Book
Having chosen your mover check if they are still free on that day, if yes confirm your booking in writing straightaway, to avoid disappointment later.

Fridays are often the busiest days for removal companies and usually get booked up quickly so try to avoid agreeing to move on a Friday.
 
Parking for Vans/Lorries on Move Day
Inform the local authority about your move if parking restrictions are in place at either the collection or delivery addresses, they will be able to suspend parking bays etc on Moving Day, please note some local authorities can require up to 14 days notice.

Unwanted Items

Decide upon any items that you wish to dispose of before you move, as this is a great time to have a de-clutter & a clear out. Furniture no longer wanted can be offered to friends, colleagues or charities, or we can deliver items to a local auctioneer, or dispose of them at a licensed disposal facility.


Carpets & Electricians
Arrange all carpet fitting & electrical fittings etc are completed well before Moving Day.

Fridge Freezer / Washing Machine
Run down your freezer contents during the days before Moving. Carefully read & check the notes in your wash machine hand book to prepare it safely for movement.

Packing & Materials

If you are doing the packing yourself make sure that you get the materials in time to allow you to make steady progress. Remember, a smooth move needs all the packing to be completed before Move Day. Label all your boxes clearly, with the contents & the room they are to go to at the new property.

Any items of furniture that need dismantling for the move should be prepared in advance, and remember to safe keep the fixings / screws / bolts etc. You may have agreed with your mover for them to do this work, if so leave it to them.

Your New Home

Plan where everything will go in your new home, by drawing a floor plan that will help movers. Check that door frames and corridor sizes at the new property are wide enough to accommodate your larger items such as wardrobes and settees during your removal.

People to be informed about your change of address
Post Office - redirect your mail / Family and Friends / Work & Colleagues Gas / Electricity / and Water Suppliers Local Council re your Council Tax / Inland Revenue Telephone Company / Cable Company / Internet Service Provider / TV License / D.V.L.A. Banks and Building Societies / Home Insurance Company / Any creditors who send regular bills Doctors / Dentist / Vets / Schools / Associations / Clubs

Moving Day
Plan for friends / relatives / colleagues to look after children or pets on the day of your move. Decide what you need to keep ready & safe on the day of the move, and keep these separate. i.e. keys, important documents, telephone numbers, refreshments, personal valuables etc.

If you are moving a long distance, & with children, leave out some toys & books to keep them entertained. Try to be contactable on the day of your move, in case any issues develop.

Always make sure to read all relevant utility meters in the house you are vacating and ensure that
the utilities have been connected to your new home, the day before your arrival.

On behalf of everyone at Fast Forward Group we wish you good luck with your move, & please remember we are just a free phone call away if there are any questions or queries.
