When downsizing, relocating an office unit, or transporting the contents of your home, a stress-free and convenient process if preferable. With all manner of other complications and factors to account for, and the potential for your valuables and treasured possessions to be damaged on-the-road, enlisting a professional team is recommended. Possessing the background and experience to seamlessly move truckloads of furniture and appliances from Point A to Point B in a timely manner, seeking assistance from a highly-regarded local firm yields plenty of benefits. Let the Michael Garrett Removals & Storage team take you through six fantastic reasons to explore professional removals and house moving services, perfect when relocating or organising office furniture removals.


Why Move?

There are many reasons why moving home may be the best option for you and your loved ones, from the pursuit of an exciting job opportunity, being closer to relatives, or upsizing your property in favour of a more spacious home, suitable for a growing family. On the other hand, it may be just as tempting to downsize, allowing you to put some money aside for that holiday you’ve dreamt of, the car you’ve always wanted, or even to start a savings account or fund for your children. Regardless of the situation you find yourself in, there are numerous potential benefits to be found from moving home, and if you do decide to start a new chapter of your life elsewhere in the country, a professional removals company will be eligible to help.


All-Inclusive

A professional removals team will possess the manpower to handle a large volume of goods at once, efficiently storing and securing even the heaviest of objects to the interior of an appropriate vehicle. As well as maintaining an up-to-date knowledge of best-practice when it comes to lifting, moving and attaching items in place, a larger workforce means a quicker turnaround time and an emphasis on speedy, efficient transport of components to your desired location. The alternative would be arranging family and friends to help out - but this would require a lot of organisation, not to mention the acquisition of a large enough vehicle to carry all of your possessions.


Easing The Burden

Besides the transport of possessions to your new property or workplace, relocating brings with it a whole range of related stresses and issues, as you attempt to settle into your new surroundings and establish your new place of residence or employment. On a personal level, the scramble to inform family, friends, colleagues or employees of your relocation will likely be draining, while informing your bank, organising bills and overseeing insurance will take up considerable time. Resultantly, finding house removal companies will free up time, as you hand the reins over to a group of friendly and reliable removal experts.


Trained Professionals

Accidents can very easily happen when in a rush to move objects and appliances, so handling valuables with caution can quickly become an afterthought. All removal experts from Michael Garrett Removals & Storage are given comprehensive training so your treasured trinkets, jewellery and personal mementos remain in the best hands. One of the biggest causes of item damage is frequently the reckless packing or storage of objects into a confined vehicle, but our fleet of spacious vans, coupled with the careful completion of processes by our team make for a cautious and attentive process, with minimal breakages.


Affordable House Removal Costs

Though house and office removal costs will fluctuate depending on a number of variables, hiring a team to complete the job may actually prove more affordable than relying on your own small vehicle and favours from relatives or friends. Costs will quickly mount up on petrol if your area of relocation is not nearby, or you have many items and valuables to transport. In fact, you may not even be able to complete comprehensive removals by yourself if furniture is too large for your family car or regular automobile. If this is the case, opt for an inexpensive and dependable company, with Michael Garrett Removals & Storage well-placed to assist with everything from return loads to secure storage.


Keep Business Thriving

If you’re tasked with simultaneously organising a business relocation, and maintaining daily operations within your company, things can very quickly become complicated. The process of items being shifted from your workplace to a new location can be incredibly disruptive, and even halt operations completely depending on the nature of your business. One example of this would be an office relocation in which a large number of computer monitors are being shifted - as this tech is required for daily tasks, they won’t be usable during the relocation phase. Speed things up with a removals company - a quick and efficient move means business can resume as soon as possible.


Prioritising The Family With House Removal Companies

Relocating can be a stressful experience, especially for kids, older children who have grown attached to their surroundings, or even pets. The prospect of having to meet new people and settle into unfamiliar locations will likely cause worry and panic, which will require time to think and plenty of reassurance. Benefit from the services of a removals company by allowing the team to complete transport and storage, while you focus on the needs of your family. Your nearest and dearest can relax safe in the knowledge that their possessions are being handled with care.
