Despite the fact that removal companies mostly advertise that they help you to move house, they have lots of other useful services you can take advantage of. Along with the usual man with a van hire, they tend to have storage space available. This is really useful for so many different reasons. If you have a lot of extra items in your house which aren’t immediately useful and can’t be put away anywhere, then it’s time to either get rid of them, or put them out of sight. It’s depressing to have a house so full of things that it is messy and people go through phases of collecting items or clothes, just to find that they didn’t really want them anyway. It’s no cause for alarm, everyone does it. It’s not a binary situation of either keeping them in the house or throwing them away; there is a convenient third option of self storage which is particularly useful for the indecisive hoarder.Along with that, house removals firms will always offer vans and helpers (man with a van) to get your things to and from the facility. It’s not that different from moving house for them, so they will be happy to get on with it. Don’t worry if you haven’t got the room in your car for your 100 piece woodwork collection or complete set of Danielle Steel novels, there can be a van or two ready as soon as you like to pick them up and haul them into a secure warehouse storage space. You can go and get them whenever the fancy strikes, because they will not be ever so far away provided you chose the facility wisely and live in or near a town or city.A useful service removal companies can provide their customers with is the hire of professional packers. A group of local movers who can get everything nicely in the van for you, if you aren’t strong enough to shift it or if you are worried you don’t have the expertise to get it safely packed, this is the ideal option. Since all removal companies worth talking to have vehicles at their disposal, these vehicles can be hired with a driver for any transit need you can think of. Say you have just bought a grand piano off eBay, but it is only for collection. You can easily call a removal service, giving them the address and paying for the piano via bank transfer, to have them pick it up and haul it into your newly piano-accommodating house. Vans are useful for all sorts of light moving projects, especially if you run a business and don’t want to use the national postal service. For a private courier, you can hire a van to drop it off to the person named on the envelope personally, and know that whatever goods you sell are in the right hands. This is useful for expensive items like jewellery or heavy items like furniture. You can’t really pop a bookcase in the post, so man with a van is the perfect opportunity. If you don’t have a van yourself, you can find removal firms who would be happy to hire you one out for a set amount of time. The price is sure to be much cheaper than hiring a member of staff to do it, which is always a plus if you don’t mind driving around. You can have a totally autonomous experience, this way, if that’s the way that you prefer things to go.
