Move like
clockwork

Moving house is one of life's most stressful events, but
choosing a high-quality removals company will help
things run smoothly on move day. Let's go...

W

hen you're already stressed
about moving house, deciding
which removals company to use
can feel overwhelming. Opting
for one that is a member of the British
Association of Removers (BAR) is a good
place to start. BAR members such as
Clockwork Removals and Storage all adhere
to strict criteria to give you peace of mind.

Choose the company as you would any
household service; smartly dressed and
experienced surveyors with thorough, expert
knowledge of the market who are open about
their reputation and references, are all good
signs. Trusting a company with your possessions
is always a worry, so make sure you receive
a signed, detailed agreement that sets out
the service to be provided, including the
company's insurance policy.
Reputable removal companies offering full
packing services are generally worth the extra
cost. If you're looking for a business that checks
all those boxes, Clockwork Removals and
Storage does exactly that. It's accredited by
reviewing service, Which? and offers removals,
storage and packing services on a local,
national and international scale.

It's all in the preparation

Using Clockwork Removals and Storage is
a good way to prepare your house if you're
planning to sell, too. A clutter-free home will
not only help sell your house quicker but will
also make the moving process easier. Research
suggests it takes just eight seconds in your
home for a buyer to know if it is right for them,
and property experts rank a tidy home as the
highest priority when selling.
Clearing out cupboards, wardrobes and
entire bedrooms can seem a mammoth task, so
work room by room and get the whole family
involved. A good rule to work by is: if you
can't remember the last time you used or wore
something, chances are you don't need it!
When it comes to move day, having the
reliable Clockwork Removals and Storage crew
on hand, with its experienced move manager
overseeing the entire job, will put your mind at
ease, so you can concentrate on making your
new house your new home!
