Hello! My name is Mikey and this is my moving and storage blog. I was inspired to start this blog following a move I made from Perth to Melbourne. I had lived in Perth for the past 7 years so I had acquired a lot of stuff. I was dreading the move because I didn't know how I would transport all of my stuff to my new home. Thankfully, a chum of mine recommended a fantastic moving and storage company. The moving contractors helped me to organise and move my things. I really couldn't have done it without them so I decided to start a new blog detailing my experience.

4 Advantages Of Having Removalists Over Before Move Day
Miguel Mitchell
Getting professional removalists to help with your move takes away a lot of the stress and hassle from the entire moving process. For this reason, finding an expert removals company should be top on your checklist as you prepare to move.
After identifying reliable removalists to work with, you may want to invite them out for a tour of your premises before move day. Doing so is important because it will help the removals company to, among other things, do the following:
1. Gauge the Size Of Your Load
You may choose to leave the packing to the removals company. Knowing how big a load they'll be working with will help the removalists identify the right size of boxes and other packing material.
Even if you choose to source for the packing materials and do all the packing by yourself, how much stuff you have will help the staff from the removals company to identify the most suitable truck size.
2. Identify Any Tools Needed
Some items may need to be disassembled before packing up. To do so may require the use of some special tools. The same goes for loading of some items onto the moving trucks.
Knowing what tools to bring come moving day will ensure that there are no unnecessary delays. It also helps in avoiding damage to your items as a result of dismantling and loading up without using the right tools.
3. Plan Around Access Restrictions
Is the lift on the multi-story building from which you will be moving not working? Are your doorways too narrow? Is the stairway too narrow? All these considerations can make the move quite problematic, especially when handling bulky items.
For expertly skilled and experienced removalists, coming up with a working solution to this access challenges won't be a problem. An initial assessment will give the crew plenty of time to come up with the plan in readiness for move day.
4. Give A More Accurate Quote
Various factors go into determining how much you will pay for the services of removalists. With the size of your load and an understanding of the level of difficulty they can expect when it comes to access, the removals crew can give you a more accurate quote. Last-minute inflations as a result of unforeseen circumstances won't be something you have to worry about too much.
A smooth move takes a lot of planning. Having the removalists over before the day of the move is definitely something to include in your plan.
