Hiring a professional removal company vs. doing it yourself.

If you are getting ready to move your house or office, then you might be considering different options for the move: hiring a removal firm or doing it yourself.

There are a number of things you should consider before you decide which option to choose. I will list them here:

  1. Damage risks.

You will be moving the possessions of your life and you want to make sure everything reaches your new place in the same condition as it left your old house.

Removal companies are experienced in carrying out moves efficiently and safely so they will minimise the damage risk for you. Alans Removals is fully insured for your possessions, and uses the most suitable equipment to pack up any type of items you may have.

  1. Your abilities.

Before you decide to do it yourself, ask yourself a couple of questions:

– Are you capable of doing a hard day labour?

– Are the people who you would ask for help fit enough to do the same?

– Are you comfortable driving a large vehicle?

3. Stress

Using a professional removal company can save you a lot of stress. They take care of every aspect of the move and ensure the day is stress and hassle free as much as it’s possible. You wouldn’t need to worry about numerous sales phone calls after receiving your quotation from Alans Removals as you often would when it comes to dealing with different removal firms. We would leave it entirely up to you to get in touch whenever you decide to choose Alans Removals for your removal.

4. Cost.

Finally, the removal costs associated with a large house or an office can seem high if performed by a professional company. These however are often insignificant when compared with other costs, such as Stamp duty or Administration fee. Renting a van and doing the move yourself could normally feel like a cheaper option, however it’s worth considering the above points and whether any saving would be worth the efforts and any potential cost of damage.
