How to Choose the Right Removals Company for You

Moving house is a stressful task as it is, but when you have to organise who will be removing all of your belongings and transporting them to your new home, that stress can be taken to a whole new level. When you’re looking for a removal company, you shouldn’t just pick the first one you find. Your belongings are involved, so it’s important that you know they are in safe hands when being transported. There are a few things you should check before you choose…

Online Reviews – What are people saying about them? If they receive mostly great reviews that praise their work and customer service, then great, they can go on your list. But, if they receive mostly bad reviews that don’t speak so highly of them and customers have had bad experiences, this is one to cross off of your list. You can check their Google Business Listing, or websites such as Trustpilot to try and find reviews for the companies you’re considering.

Recommendations – Similar to checking reviews, you can get first-hand recommendations from people you know about great removal companies. If you know someone who has used a specific company before, ask how they were and whether they are a good choice.

What is Included? – Review their website to see what is available with their service. You can even give them a call to discuss this with them. They may include things that you didn’t know you needed, which is great. However, some companies may not have everything that you need on offer. Tell them exactly what you need, and if they don’t reach that standard, they are not the best company for you.

Get Multiple Quotes – If you just get one quote from one company, you won’t be sure you are getting the best deal. There might be a company that offers the exact same services but at a better rate, but if you don’t ask for a quote, you will never know and could be missing out. Getting multiple quotes means you can weigh up the options and pick which company best suits your needs and your price range.

Check Their Insurance – Now, this might be one of the most important factors to check. They may offer the best service and the best price, but if they don’t have the correct insurance, your belongings may not be protected. Make sure they have the correct insurance that covers any damage so you know your belongings are in safe hands.

Once a company has ticked all the boxes, you can be sure you are choosing the best company!
