Moving home can be a tough business, both on the emotional side and on the physical side. The idea of moving to completely new location is a lot for some people to take in. Older children and teenagers are the ones affected most by this, but it’s not limited to them. Starting a new life, new job and in a new place is a complete shift to your life’s tempo. It’s a lot to handle for some people. Moving can also be hard on the body. There’s lots of heavy lifting, tons of planning and so on. It’s hard work, and this compounded with any moving stress equals a moving experience that you would want to forget.

It doesn’t have to be though, there are plenty of moving companies of various kinds that can take a lot of stress out of a generally tough process. The man and van movers and the traditional moving companies are two of the most effective. They can both handle large loads with professionalism, great customer service and reliability. Simply having one of these services available in your moving life is a god send. They’ll take the hard work out of a move, and allow you the free time to sort out any emotional stresses that a move can cause.

All you need to do to guarantee a more pleasurable moving experience is to hire the right company. You’ll want a company that offers you all of the right things; well trained and careful staff, a well maintained van and an overall high standard of customer service. All of this at a price you can afford. It might seem like a lot of hard work, but all you need to do is a bit of research. First, you have to decide which of the two moving companies is the right template for your search. A professional moving company is typically more expensive, but offers more staff and guaranteed insurance cover, and the man and van movers are the lower cost option, sacrificing a little bit of efficiency for a more affordable initial cost. As a general rule, smaller moves and moves that are on a budget are better off with a man and van company. Otherwise, a professional mover is the safer bet.

Once you’ve decided which of the two is best suited, you can start looking for one. Shop around for a local company that offers the right services for you, and make a short list of the most suitable candidates. Once you’ve got them all lined up, start knocking them down. Look at reviews to find out which ones are getting the thumbs up, and which ones are getting the thumbs down. Take a broad view when comparing them – make sure there are multiple bad reviews before you take the company in question off your list.

Finally, start comparing prices. Prices are very important, especially if you’re hiring a professional mover, because their costs are generally higher. Ask for an estimate from each company, and make sure they take the following into account;

• The approximate weight and size of your proposed load.
• The approximate distance you have to travel.
• The additional services that you want (furniture disassembly, packing, etc).

All three of these can impact the price dramatically. A long distance move with a large weight will cost the removal company more money – you’re essentially spending more money on fuel and extra labour.

One more thing, once you’ve decided on the company you’ll be hiring, make sure that their estimate includes all the costs. Some companies have been known in the past to exclude certain costs until the move has been done. Be aware of all of them, so you don’t get a nasty shock at the other side.
