Two common reasons why people use furniture removal services

Here are two common reasons why people avail of the services of furniture removals businesses.

To avoid injuring themselves when they move

For many people who need to move their furniture, the main motivation for hiring furniture removalists is to avoid injuring themselves. Moving multiple heavy furniture items without removalists is not easy, even for individuals who are fit and healthy. People who move their own furniture can put themselves at risk of injuring their knees, pulling their back muscles or spraining a ligament, due to trying to lift an item they're either not strong enough to carry or that is so large it should be carried by several people instead of just one.

As such, cautious people will often book a furniture removals business to do this job. A business like this will always assess a client's furniture collection before moving it and will ensure that they send enough of their removalists to safely carry the biggest furniture items. They'll also give their employees lifting equipment that they can use to carry the heaviest pieces of furniture. Lastly, experienced furniture removalists will know what lifting methods to use to avoid hurting themselves when picking up large or unusually-shaped furniture items.

To make their move more affordable

Many people also book furniture removalists after realising that doing so can often be cheaper than moving on their own. When a person moves their own furniture, they usually have to rent a large van or truck to transport it and purchase supplies like padded moving blankets and plastic wrap to protect their furniture. They may also need to cover the cost of fuel for the rented vehicle and might need to take a couple of days off work to get this task done.

Conversely, the affordable fee a person would pay if they hired a furniture removalist might not only cover the transportation of their furniture in a large vehicle but also include the provision of any necessary protective packaging. It could also include insurance that they could avail of, in the unlikely event that their furniture was to sustain damage when in transit. Furthermore, provided the person was able to give the removalists access to their current property so they could collect the furniture and access to their new home where the removalists would drop off this furniture, they would not need to supervise the removal process. This could then mean that they might not need to take lots of time off work during their move.
