How can I get a good quote for my move?


These days most people will look online for a quote, even when they have been given recommendations. It is easy and quick to access a lot of information about different removal companies.
On page one of google, about half the companies will actually be brokers, not actual removal companies. They will book jobs in, then contact removal companies to do them. There are some things to consider when using these brokers. Remember that not only will you be paying the removal company, for move, but an additional sum for the broker. So going straight to a removal company could save you money.
Many people decide to use brokers because they believe that it is a more secure booking, which will guarantee help and support if needed, however, most of these companies do not take responsibility for the move or the removal company itself, that is the sole responsibility of the removal company they have found to complete the job.
In Albany removals 34 years, it has worked with brokers and subcontracted to one of the leading national removal companies. We are always happy to take bookings and provide the very best job, but removal companies can organise the move more precisely, to meet the customer’s needs. This is because we have assessed the needs ourselves, with a visit and discussion with the customer face to faces, rather than second-hand, through someone who has taken a digital or telephone booking.
Relying on a second-hand survey can result in problems. I have attended moves that have far bigger volumes than the booking had stated. This can make the move very difficult as the lorries have legal limits for weight, so we must book the correct size. We also need to book the appropriate number of staff to complete the move. An underestimation can lead to delays in the move and added, unexpected costs. It is also difficult to ensure we have prepared to move any unusual items that may need to be planned in advance, without seeing them first. Coming round for a quote and discussion about your needs, will cost you nothing.
In my experience owner operators who quote the removal and work on the job are the best bet for a well tailored service, to meet the customer’s needs and the customer can contact them directly if they have any additional questions or need advice. They have a huge interest in making sure your move goes well.
If your concern is finding time for a visit, at Albany removal we can begin the process of quoting planning a move with a video of your home and everything that needs to be moved, sent to us on WhatsApp on 07970383207. Make sure you film everywhere that needs to be moved; adding a commentary can be most helpful. Don’t forget to include a film of the entry to the property if there are steps, entry limitations or parking issues that we will need to consider before the move.
Seeing the premises and content needing to be removed really is essential for a successful move. Verbal lists are not great, there are frequently items that clients understandably forget. Even written lists can sometimes miss content, especially places like garden sheds.
