When it comes to moving home, the most popular option for transporting everything you own from your soon-to-be old property to your new one is to hire a removal firm. This is because removal firms offer the most comprehensive removal services. From a basic removal service, to furniture removal, storage and packing services – any good, large and reputable removal firm will offer all of these. Perhaps the reason why removal firms are the most popular option when it comes to transport for a relocation is because finding a house is a very intensive and time-consuming task. First you have to find your new home (a difficult task in itself), fork out for a security or mortgage deposit on it, and then find someone else to take your soon-to-be former residence off your hands. After that, it’s plain to see why someone would want to hire the most comprehensive removal service possible. If you are about to move homes, then consider the services of a removal firm. Here are but a few that any good, large and reputable removal firm will offer: 1)    Basic removal serviceA basic removal service simply entails moving everything out of your home, into the transport vehicle, and then driving the van to your new residence and unloading its contents into your new home. For this most primitive of services, all your transport and heavy lifting needs are taken care of. All you will have to do on move-in day is supervise the professional removers by making them all the tea their hearts desire.2)    Packing serviceFor those of us who cannot be bothered to pack, most removal firms will offer a full packing service. For the price you pay, a professional packer will come into your home armed with the appropriate materials and resources and pack  everything you tell them to away in a neat and tidy manner. Packing can be an endless and menial task; there are plenty of more enjoyable things you could be doing other than organising your bits and bobs. For others of us, there simply won’t be enough time to pack up our whole house in preparation for the move. So if you can’t be bothered, or there just aren’t enough hours in the day, consider how useful a full packing service could be. A packing service is also advantageous if you have a lot of fragile, delicate or expensive items to pack. The packers are professional and will pack your delicate and fragile items up in a way that will ensure they will not be subject to damages during the move.3)    Removal storageThis service allows you to store your items in a warehouse temporarily. It is perfect for those whose move-out date is just a day or two before the move-in. Where as you can stay with family or friends, all of your belongings cannot. Removal firms can store all of your belongings in a safe and secure environment whilst you wait for your new property to become ready. You should be entitled to a discount on this service if you are already using the firm for your transport needs.4)    InsuranceThis isn’t so much a physical service, more of a metaphysical one. Most home insurance policies do not cover damages that incurred by your property during a relocation. So if something catastrophic were to happen, you’d be left uncompensated and possibly without a possession in the world. Luckily for you, big removal firms will offer an insurance policy for your relocation, meaning if anything disastrous does happen you will have peace of mind knowing you stand to be fully reimbursed. As the saying goes, it’s better to be safe than sorry.
