There are a number of common problems that we encounter when we are moving to a new home specifically relating to the removal and transportation of appliances and personal items. Considering that such items have high value both financially and emotionally we need to ensure that we take special care to reduce the risk of encountering these problems. Loss to, or damage of these items, is a very real possibility but there are steps we can take if we first recognise what these problems are. It is key to prepare for the removal process well in advance of the intended removal date so that all the necessary precautions are taken. There are numerous companies specialising in West London removals, so take advantage of their knowledge and expertise in relation to the removal of your appliances and personal items.
Personal items
Personal items come in many shapes and sizes and we must consider this when we are making preparations to pack these items. Small, expensive items such as jewellery should never be packed into boxes containing larger items as they face the risk of being lost or damaged during the removal or transportation process. Jewellery should be carefully packed in smaller boxes and clearly labelled so that everyone involved in the removal process understands the nature of the contents inside the box. If at all possible, we should consider personally transporting jewellery and other small, expensive personal items to reduce the risk of loss or damage. It is advisable to ensure that all the necessary insurance is up to date and in effect should the worst happen and personal items are lost or damaged.
Plants and appliances
Plants and appliances should be removed and transported last if possible. By doing this we ensure that these things are at a reduced risk of damage. Plants need to be transported carefully so as not to damage them beyond repair. They require sufficient moisture and oxygen levels and this can be a problem if they are being transported over a long distance and therefore an extended period of time. By removing them from the property last we can load them into the transporting vehicle at the last minute ensuring that they will be the first items to be removed upon arrival at the destination. Similarly, appliances that are loaded last will spend less time on the vehicle which will reduce the rick of any fault occurring when they are powered up again. The fridge and the freezer should be fully defrosted and any remaining water removed prior to transportation. This can sometimes cause the appliance to develop a fault and so it is advisable to load them last so they can be installed first at your destination.
