Packing and Boxes
Could you imagine moving all of your possessions from your home or office to another by simply picking them up and carrying them as is? It would take a very long time to move things individually and you would definitely lose things as they would all be scattered about and unbound. Things would be broken as they are bashed about and you would eventually find yourself at your new address with nothing but bits of appliances and furniture. No one would ever undertake their move in this way but people are still careless. They will use any old box they can find, just throw whatever they can inside to make the job go faster. They will overload it, making the box likely to fall apart and not to mention that it would be too heavy, posing a health risk to the person carrying it.
StockwellRemovals.co.uk has seen it all and done it when it comes to moves and that is why we know how to pack properly. When our team first arrives at a person’s residence we don’t just start tossing things into containers willy-nilly, we carefully assess all the items so we know the best way to go about things. By doing this we will know what items will need to go together, what needs special consideration and how much wrapping and how many containers we will need. We look at large objects and furniture and consider the best way to move them out of the building, It can cause damage to the item, the structure and the person when shifting bulky objects so we take many precautions; planning the best route to take, how many people will be needed and considering if the object can be disassembled to reduce the effort dramatically.
The materials used to pack objects are every common ones, as we usually use bubble wrap and polystyrene. Bubble wrap can be easily procured in large amounts and in different sizes, allowing us to wrap anything big or small. We will have enough to cover every possession a person may have so he or she can rest assured knowing that their belongings are safe. Putting everything in protective covering may sound excessive but it ensures that up until it arrives at our customer’s new home or office that it will be free from damage, scratches, dents and dirt.
We take as much consideration when it comes to the containers we provide. We plan so we know how many we will need and how big they need to be. Cardboard boxes are flexible and should allow us to take care of most good. Things need to be packed so nothing is crushed and that fragile items are always separate. We avoid overfilling boxes because if they are too cumbersome then they will be dropped which can brake whatever is inside. We also know that it would be dangerous for someone to carry something that is too heavy so we always place importance on the wellbeing of our customers and staff.
Some items will require special containers. Any liquid materials for example will need to be kept separate from everything else and in boxes that are waterproof such as plastic. We also have things like wardrobe boxes which are designed exclusively for clothes, which will not only make them easy to transport but also prevent tears and creases.
It can take a day for the average two-bedroom home to be completely packed up so call us now on StockwellRemovals.co.uk and we’ll see to all your packing needs.
