Transform Your City-Move With Professional Removalists 

Whether you’re moving into new university accommodation or your dream skyline apartment, relocating within the city is often an extremely exciting chapter. However, city moves aren’t always straightforward and the busyness of cosmopolitan living usually comes with various challenges. Nevertheless, that doesn’t mean you have to end up in a blind panic, carrying boxes of your belongings on the bus, praying that nothing breaks. By hiring removalists with city expertise and professional equipment you can take the stress out of your city move with the following benefits: 

Navigating Tight Roads 

It goes without saying that cities can be incredibly busy places, particularly when driving. For most people who live in cities, this tends not to be a problem as public transportation options are endless and for those who do own cars, they tend to be smaller models, tailored for tight city roads. So, what happens when it’s time to move house and you have to try and navigate a 250ft3 van back and forth across the city? That’s where professional removalists come to save the day. With local knowledge and plenty of experience transporting large trucks across busy cities, they can ensure that your belongings are kept safe and secure during transit. Most importantly their proven ability of manoeuvring busy cityscapes means that they minimise the risk of any damage to you or other cars that can occur through lack of experience. Protect yourself and others by hiring professional removalists who know exactly how to navigate tight roads with ease. 

Professional Equipment for Apartment Moves

For many who reside in the city, apartment living is standard, which can make moving in and out fairly difficult, particularly for older blocks with a lack of modern infrastructure. Without the aid of a lift, moving heavy furniture up or down multiple floors can cause significant damage and be extremely dangerous. However, if notified in advance, a professional moving company will be able to arrange the proper equipment and tools needed to transfer these items safely and avoid unnecessary injury. For apartment moves, removalists will often arrive with heavy-duty dollies, ratchet straps and specialised plastic wraps to protect furniture. Whilst these can be purchased for DIY moves, the equipment can be particularly expensive to hire and most people lack the expert knowledge that optimises their use. 

Minimising Downtime

Life in the city is often extremely busy – between work and social commitments, finding the time to pack and move can be a challenge. Depending on the size of your home, the process of moving can generally take anywhere between a few days to a few weeks and that’s just for the basics. Partnering with professional movers can be a real lifesaver for busy individuals who’d rather not use up their annual leave or sacrifice their well-deserved downtime during a move. With a range of options from professional packing services to rubbish removals, your dedicated moving team can look after your entire move from start to finish, saving you time and energy.

Space Optimisation Knowledge

For removalists with years of experience, their knowledge and expertise goes far beyond knowing how to move you from one place to another. Another extremely valuable skill that movers tend to acquire is space optimisation. As city homes tend to be slightly more compact than rural homes, knowing how to cater for the space you are in without cluttering up the room can be really beneficial but it can take some experience to master. Thankfully, your city-move specialists often have plenty of experience arranging furniture in these environments so they can offer advice on what will work best for your space. It’s like having movers, packers and interior designers all rolled into one. 

Storage Options  

Just to make your city move that bit easier, some moving companies will also offer storage solutions for those few items that don’t quite fit into your new home but you aren’t yet ready to part with. The best way to optimise space within your home is by knowing what to keep and what to store away for when the time is right. Belongings like seasonal clothing, hobby equipment (ski gear or surfboards) and other furniture can all be held in storage to help give space in your home. Not only does this optimise the space but it also ensures your belongings are kept safe. What sets full-service moving and storage apart is the seamless integration with your move. Your belongings can be packed once, transported to storage, and then delivered to your new home when you’re ready, avoiding any double handling. This reduces the risk of damage and saves you from renting a truck twice. 

By working with professional movers for your inner-city relocation, you can save yourself time, energy and even money. Removalists with a full-service approach are able to cover all your moving needs from start to finish, offering city-specific knowledge that will transform the way you move. From packing your belongings to providing storage options that work for you, hiring an expert removal team makes your move all that much easier, giving you the space to enjoy your thriving city home.
