You care about your Personal Property, so use one of the Best Removal, Storage or Shipping Companies within the UK.

With Christmas fast approaching, it’s not only the shops and retail outfits that are getting ready for the sudden onslaught of customers.

As well as Estate and Lettings Agents, Removal and Shipping companies are getting ready for Christmas as well. After the Summer and Easter holidays, this is one of the busiest times of the year for moving home.

Anyone that was unlucky enough not to complete their house sale in the summer months is now desperately trying to make sure that they move this side of Christmas, so that all the loose ends are tied up before the New Year. Also Christmas and the New Year see the end of many tenancy agreements, so therefore the renting market becomes saturated with vacant properties to let.

Being a tenant at this time of year is great, due to the extensive range of properties that are available. And if you’re lucky, you may even get a discount on the monthly rent or deposit due to the fact that the landlord is having trouble letting it out.

However, if you’re a landlord at this time of year, you will have to make sure that the property you are letting is picture perfect so that you get the right kind of tenant and the right price for your property. With so many people taking advantage of the Buy to Let market and cheap mortgage rates, you cannot afford for your property to be on the bottom rung of the ladder right now.

Although, the actual moving day may not be top priority for many people relocating, it should not be forgotten and left till the end.

You see, many people think that booking a removal company is like booking a taxi – Quick and easy.

What many people don’t realise is that removal companies can be fully booked for days and weeks in advance. So if you don’t want to be left with the really expensive companies or on the other hand, the cowboy firms, contact your movers well in advance.

Don’t get me wrong, it is not always that everyone leaves it late to book, but sometimes the exchange on their property does not go through until a few days before completion. And if you’re renting, you can find a property and be accepted within just a few days if your credit check goes through straight away.

One major piece of advice that I give to all my clients is to make sure that you get quotes from Removal or Shipping companies as early as possible. If you contact them at least 6-8 weeks in advance of your proposed move date then you are more likely to be prepared for short notice completions. Also, the removal companies will be more patient and understanding of your situation if things do get delayed.

This is also a good idea so that you know exactly how much your removal is going to cost you well in advance. Moving with a professional company may be less hassle, but it can also be expensive. So Be Prepared!

And don’t think that just because you are moving yourself, you have it easier either. Moving at any time of year is hard work, let alone in the cold and wet winter months, so make sure you have prepared yourself for the worse.

Wardle and Keach Removals was formed in 1926 by the amalgamation of two family firms, one of which had been first established in 1890 and the other slightly later. Messrs A Wardle and Son, founded in 1905, continued the coal haulage business, and Harold Wardle took over from his father and ran the business independently into the 1920s.

In 1985 Norman Wardle retired and sold the company to the proprietors of another local haulage firm, Henry’s Removals, who were looking to expand.

Paul and Sue Henry became the new owners of Wardle and Keach in 1986, transferring the business to the premises in Kingswell Street from which Henry’s Removals had operated.

Under their management expansion was so rapid that a larger site was soon required, and the company’s current site at Little Houghton was purchased in 1991.

A fleet of eighteen removal vehicles with expert removal men carries out local, national and international removals, and another warehouse has been constructed which provides 10,000 square feet of containerised storage.

The existing warehouse is now used to cover the vast ‘archiving section’ of the business, extending the firm’s commercial and office removals service to include archiving, complete with a retrieval service with a total storage facility of 13,000 square feet.

Why should you only use a Professional, Regulated, Removal, Storage and Shipping Companies that have been checked by their peers?

Because when something goes wrong, they know how to handle the situation and make things better.

They have access to trained staff and resources to make sure that your Grand Piano gets moved correctly and your Grandfather clock gets there in one piece. When everything is really stressful and chaotic, they keep their heads together and make sure that you, the client, are satisfied with the way your move has been carried out and your personal belongings are delivered safely.

No matter how valuable and expensive or how cheap and cheerful your household items cost you when you first bought them, Professional Removal Companies know how to look after them during your move.

And when things do go wrong and items are broken, they know how to help you complete an insurance claim and keep things as tidy and hassle free as possible. They look after their staff and are updated regularly on the new Health and Safety Laws and EU Directives, and they have access to special Industry training and qualifications. They have available to them a network of other Professional and like minded Moving Companies who care about you as a client and how your move goes. Even if you don’t think so.

They have your best interests at heart. Otherwise they wouldn’t choose to be regulated in a largely unregulated industry.

It is not in their best interests for you to experience a “bad” move, have an insurance claim and then for you to recommend to all your friends and family not to touch them with a very long barge pole!

They would much prefer it if everything went well and you sang their praises at the end of it – As does every company. The difference is, regulated Removal and Shipping Companies make it easier for you to complain if something does go wrong and they welcome and allow themselves to be scrutinised and inspected on a regular basis by experienced assessors and Trade Association Officials.

Because they have nothing to hide.

No matter whether you are moving across town, around the world or just next door, this is the start of a new beginning and making sure that everything goes well is paramount to whether you enjoy your experience or not.

Unfortunately, problems can occur which are caused by outside influences such as late completion, delays with the exchange of contracts, or even simply by people being away on holiday!

These kinds of setbacks can be tackled by having better communication between you, the customer, your Estate Agent, Solicitor and especially with the vendor or purchaser. By making sure that all parties involved know what’s going on, you could avoid many of today’s moving hassles.

Make sure that the period between your exchange of contracts and the completion date is as long as possible for the sale of your house.

AT LEAST TWO TO THREE WEEKS, if achievable. This is so that you can give plenty of notice to all parties concerned.

After all, you don’t want to exchange contracts just a few days before your move, only to find out that your removal company is fully booked!

And what ever you do, please avoid exchange and completion on the same day! It is extremely stressful for all parties and your house sale could get delayed. This can lead to a very expensive move if your removal firm has already packed and loaded your furniture onto the removal truck.

Many people think that booking a removal company is like booking a taxi – Quick and easy.

Because, what some people don’t realise is that removal companies can be fully booked for days and weeks in advance. Especially during the Summer, Easter or Christmas Holidays. Don’t forget it’s not just you they’re moving……

One major piece of advice that we give is to make sure that you get quotes from Removal or Shipping companies as early as possible. If you are moving Overseas then you will need to contact them at least two months in advance. However, if you are only moving locally, we still advise that you contact them at least 4-6 weeks in advance of your proposed move date so that you are more likely to be prepared for short notice completions. Also, the removal companies will be more patient and understanding of your situation.

In fact, why not contact them at the same time as you contact your Solicitor and Estate Agent? This way you will know how much you need to budget for your move as well.

Moving with a professional removal company may be less hassle, but it can also be expensive. So Be Prepared!

To make life easier for everyone concerned and to avoid as many problems as possible, make sure you are well-organized and you start packing as early as possible. So your move can be as smooth as can be.
