Moving in London can be challenging with busy streets and parking restrictions, but with the right team, it can be a smooth experience. If you're planning Brighton to London removals, our expert Brighton removals service ensures a hassle-free move from the coast to the capital. Here're ten factors to take into account.
Expect the unexpected
Traffic in London is unpredictable, so we set aside the whole day for your move. With our fixed price, even if we go over the allocated time, there are no nasty shocks or additional bills for you to deal with at the end of an already stressful London moving day. Our removals team is happy and capable in London or Brighton just leave it to us!
Access
London is even more challenging than Brighton for access. If you can set out a cone in the morning, great! If not, speak to the council or have a plan ready. Preparation is everything when it comes to London removals. Get us parking permits, get the council to suspend some parking bays. Our Luton van is 7 meters long so it needs two bays whether it's a Brighton removal or a London removal.
Boxes
Ensure your boxes are taped shut and of similar size. Boxes are much better than bags. We have blankets to protect your items, but if you have original boxes for your TV and monitors, use them. We won't cover your TV under our insurance without the original box. For pictures, bubble wrap them, then we’ll wrap blankets around them and find a safe space for them.
Large items
Make sure you leave space for large items to get out the door. Don’t leave boxes and items in the hallway, or we won’t be able to get your furniture out! London is already dense, and we don’t want an obstacle course to start your move from Brighton. Our team works efficiently to keep everything moving in London and avoid delays.
Mornings
Don’t prepare on the morning of your London removal or any moving day for that matter! We work quickest if you’ve already got everything sorted. Time is tight in London, so the smoother everything runs, the better. Let’s work together to keep your Brighton to London removal running smoothly.
Animals
We love animals, but for larger London jobs, it’s much easier if they’re left with friends or in another section of your property. As stated in our FAQs, we don’t mind animals coming with us in the cab, within reason (no tarantulas!).
Storage
If you’re moving into storage, do as much paperwork as you can beforehand. This will save both us and you valuable time on the day. Our goal is always to keep your London removal running smoothly. Our partners Big Yellow Self Storage have a giant set of storage units in Bow, East London we wholeheartedly recommend. They also have storage units in Brighton and Hove for your Brighton removals.
Sentimental items
Have something really sentimental? Let us know. We take extra care with everything, and we’ll be sure to handle your most important items with the utmost attention. The same as valuables we just expect you to notify us of them before the move, not everyones valuables look the same and if we don't know we can't treat them with the care they deserve.
Food
London’s a big place, and moving can be stressful. Bring food and water in case we get stuck in traffic. Many of our fully trained, professional movers swear by Lucozade for a boost of ‘stored energy,' whilst undertaking your removal.
