Smaller removals are all about preparation. You will find that moving a small house or flat can be a lot cheaper than most larger removals, and the fact of the matter is that there is nothing that needs to go wrong, but there is usually something that does, as few people put the proper effort in to planning! You will find that with the right consideration in advance, there is no reason as to why your removal would go anything other than smoothly, and with the correct procedure, you should have a very easy time of it! Admittedly, easy may not be quite the word to describe any relocation, as the process of a home removal is always going to be tough, but in comparison to how you may have thought it would be, it can work out nicely.You will find that the key to a decent small removal will usually be a man and van service. You will often be able to fit up a small house in to a Luton van, which is the largest that most man with a van companies will hire out. These vans will often come with the option of more than one driver or helper, which can basically make the job a bit like having a normal removal team on, only a fair deal cheaper. You will no doubt need to ensure that you get the right people to do the job, but with the right preparation, the loading should only take a few hours, and the same for the unloading. Basically, depending on the length of the journey, you should have a good way of reducing the need for a full size removals company, to the hourly rate of a man and van service.Packing up your boxes correctly and having them all ready will mean that you can reduce the time that it takes to get everything form the flat to the van etcetera. This will essentially mean that you have fewer hours on the clock, and will be able to keep the costs low. Be aware that packing the van should be led by the person driving the van, and if you don’t have experience in driving and loading a van yourself, you should avoid trying, as the skill of loading a vehicle correctly will come of being experienced, rather than reading up on it!One thing that you will have on a small removal is control. With a larger house removal, you will find that you need to work to the timings that the removals services put in place, as their plans will fall in with how much needs to be done and how far you have to go. With a small removal, you can set your own hours, which is very helpful in avoiding traffic, or working to timings that you need to because of work. If you need to do an overnight drive you can, but it may mean that you have to pay a man and van driver a fair bit more, as most of them will have late charges. Have a look at the traffic report and listen to the radio for accidents in the areas that you may be traveling in, and you should be well set to ensure that nothing goes wrong, meaning a smooth transition between houses. Be sure to read up on safe lifting practice, as you will need to help out a fair amount more than you would on a normal removal.
