Employing the services of a professional removal company can certainly help to take the headache and stress out of what is after all a major upheaval in anyone’s life.
House Removals to Surrey UK
When it comes to house removals Surrey is one of the real “hot spots”. It’s a very desirable place to live and work which means that many people move into and around the area as their family, situation or working life dictates.
Although a professional removal company will take care of all the donkey work, there are still a few things which you need to take care of before the big day arrives.
1 – The removal van will aim to be with you bright and early so it’s important that you are up, dressed and ready for action. There’s so much to do and so little time to do it in that an early start is essential.

2 – Make sure that there is plenty of room for the removal lorry to access your property. It’s bad enough having to take the contents of a house to the driveway or roadside without having to take it halfway down the street. This may include contacting your local council if you live in an area of restricted or no parking.
3 – Make sure that all of your electrical appliances are disconnected before the removal lorry arrives. If you can’t do it yourself you’ll have to get some professionals in to do it for you, but it must be done.
4 – Empty and defrost your fridge and freezer. If you have plenty of warning before the due date you should spend that time constructively eating your way through the contents of your deep freeze. A defrosted freezer not only prevents “puddles” from appearing in the back of the removal truck which could damage some of the other contents, it is also considerably lighter to move than one which is full of ice.
5 – If you have pets it’s a good idea to have them well out of the way on the day of the move. This can be a disturbing time for them and it can create problems both for them and for the people trying to orchestrate the move. It could be dangerous having a dog on the loose while strangers are walking in and out through open doors throughout the day. Try to persuade a friend or family to take care of them for the day if possible.
6 – If you’ve booked a fully serviced move then you won’t need to worry about packing boxes etc. There are a few things you need to consider however. You should take care of anything which is particularly valuable yourself. This includes jewellery, watches and important documents and paperwork. It’s better to be safe than sorry after all.
I think that’s covered just about all of the main points. Surrey is a very desirable place to live so it stands to reason that there are always plenty of people waiting to move there. When it comes to house removals Surrey companies are often in high demand so it’s always best to book early to avoid disappointment.
