Last Minute Moving Tips

Moving house is frequently fraught with stress and the impression that there is not enough time in the day to take care of all the details screaming for your attention. It's easy for things to be forgotten and lost as your daily routine and surroundings are dismantled and turned from organised reliability to a maze of boxes and newly excavated dust. Cheap removals save you money, but if you don't take a few simple precautions you may lose that advantage when you have to solve problems on the fly on moving day. Here are a few simple tips to make your house move smooth sailing.

In Advance :

A few things ought to be squared away before the best or cheapest (or both) removalist on offer shows up:

  • Clean: With a focus on the kitchen. Even in a clean kitchen the appliances will get grimy with dirt and grease in places you don't normally see - clean those in advance so you're not in the way of those cheap removalists supplied you with.
  • Money: Don't forget, they may be the friendliest cheap removalists has to offer, but they still expect to be paid. Put aside the fee for your removalists in a safe spot so you won't have to make excuses in the midst of chaos.
  • Organise: Label everything clearly with the room it will end up in, so there's no guessing. Make a list of everything that has to be done on moving day and make sure you have secured vital papers.

On Moving Day:

Get a good night's sleep, because moving day is going to be exhausting no matter how organised you are and how wonderful your cheap removals service is. Then, make sure you take care of the following:

  • Keep Track of Keys: There are always a lot of keys floating around on moving day. Make sure you keep track of which ones belong to which house!
  • Check in with the Removalist: Make sure they're clear on where everything goes, how to get there, and any special services or concerns.
  • One Last Look: When everything is out and you're ready to lock the door behind you, take five minutes to do a final walk-through and double-check everything.

Follow these simple suggestions and your moving day will be a triumph of cheap removals and detail management.

Fair Pricing

At Citymove we know what it's like to move house: Expensive. That's why we've done our best to keep prices low. Unlike most local removalists, we don't charge a base-to-base fee or a depot fee, and we charge by the minute, not the hour or even the half hour. That means you pay for the work we do, and nothing else.

Punctuality

It's a simple enough concept: When you get a removalist quote you have to tell the company when you need to be out and when you need to be in. A lot of companies take those data points more as guidelines. At Citymove we know that on moving day your entire life centres on one thing: The local removalists showing up on time. If we're late, everything falls apart. When it comes to local moving, we've got it covered: With more than 30 trucks in service and an army of fit, trained removalists at our command, we are always on time.

Certified

When you need local removals, you want people who have all the necessary training and certifications - and that goes beyond simply training workers how to lift with their legs and wrap up delicate goods. It also means being trained in the right way to treat people and the world we live in. Citymove is FemaleFriendly accredited because we think it's important that our clients know we are reliable and trusted.

Everything Else

Local moving is stressful, and too many companies give you a removalist quote that includes just the bare bones. Citymove aims to be not just your local removalists of choice, we want to offer you a full spectrum of services you might not even know you need - until you need them. This includes house cleaning if you need it, packing for your move, unpacking and helping you get things set up once you get there, and even utilities connection.
