There are two kinds of first time removals, and they come with the territory of size. For the first sort of debut removal, you will be flying the nest as a young adult, going to uni or your first flat. Whilst this is a big milestone in your life, it is actually not nearly as big a deal in terms of the removal itself as the second type of first removal, which comes as you move not your first home with a partner, by which time you will likely have amassed some furniture and a lot of your own things that will need a large amount of power and help to get shifted. Whilst these two types of removal are certainly disparate in terms of the amount of stuff that you need to get moved, they are both in valid need of some direction, as a first time move as a student is not going to prepare you a huge amount for your first time with a large scale move. The main difference between the two is that for the latter move, you will likely need a removals company, whereas for the first type, you can likely get away with a man and van, or a car. If you are going to university and are staying in student halls or a rented room, then you will not be moving huge amounts of furniture, as there will be no need for it! You should think carefully about the cheapest way of doing things however. If your parents are willing to drive you up there, or you have your own car, then it is most likely that you won’t need much else, except perhaps some help with loading and unloading. At any rate, a man and van will probably be the largest type of transport that you will need, so it is worth looking in to these things, to see if they make sense for you.With a larger first removal, you will both have more on your plate, and you will have more help. The removal company can offer a lot of support for those who are not that well aware of the ins and outs of a removal, so it is important that you get a good one. Finding a great removals company comes with a few guidelines, much like the removal itself, so be sure to look up those, and be sure that your removals company ticks all the boxes that you feel need to be in place for the removal that you are planning. Be aware however, that when they have a strong opinion on something, it is likely to be for a reason, so don’t doubt them too hard or too often! If you want to get involved with the removal itself, be sure to read up on safety tips and techniques beforehand, to ensure that you are clued up on all that the removal requires form you. You don’t want to go to lend a hand and find that you are actually getting in the way, or making things unsafe. You must be sure that all pets and children are out of the we on the day of the removal as well, as they can easily get underfoot, given that they are pretty unaware of what is going on at the time. Those carrying large furniture around will not be able to see where they are going at certain points, so be sure to keep the floor free of trip hazards and debris.
