Hiring a removals company may seem like an expense too far for your removal, but it will become increasingly apparent that you may have made a mistake as the process of the move goes forward without one, as you struggle with both the organization and the labor involved in a relocation. Knowing when to choose a removals company over a man and van can be difficult, but if in doubt, a larger company will make things easier and less accident prone, so they are often the answer for your troubles. We’ll have a look at how Balham removals companies make the moving process easier, so that you can see where we are coming from, and hopefully you will be able to make a good choice based on it, and have confidence in your Balham move going smoothly.

Firstly, a decent removals company will have so much experience in the industry, that you will find they have an answer for every outcome. This is essential in a game where so much can happen and so much go wrong, as you need to be quick on your feet in repairing any issues that may arise. Do you know the best way to pack a van so that nothing moves in transit? Are you sure of the best way to get a heavy fridge down a spiral staircase? It all takes practice, and a removals company will have done such things many times over, meaning that they are prepared and ready to get the job done quickly and easily, where as you would be spending hours working things out, or just getting them wrong!

The cost of a company will be the value of it’s experience. it may seem like a lot of money to spend, especially if your move is a medium sized one that you could just about get away with on your own, but the speed and ease with which the move will go ahead with a pro team at the helm is well worth the costs in the first place. If you are not convinced by this, then give a little thought to the sort of things that can go wrong; like dropping the fridge down the stairs... How much would that accident cost to fix? You’d need a new fridge most likely, and may well have to paint over the scratches in the paintwork that it may well have made, which may well total up to something like £1000, which is around the same as a removals company! So there is little use in risking doing all of the work, but still spending all of the money, why not eliminate the risk and spend the money, but not have to do all that work?

Another factor to consider is the safety element. How highly do you value your good health? A Balham removals team will be well trained in every safety procedure around, and you can bet that you and your friends are very unlikely to have as much of a clue about clever lifting techniques than they are. For this reason, you are risking putting your back out, with a slipped disk or trapped nerve if you embark on a large move by yourself, so give a bit of thought about the long term effects of an injury, and whether the price of a removals team is equal to the cost of being in pain for a few years of your life!
