List of Services

De-ClutterList Item 1
To help get the best price for your house, prospective buyers want to see clearly defined and tidy rooms, a bedroom for example, should have a nicely made bed and the typical furniture you would expect to find in a bedroom anything else like your personal effects can be distracting.
Go through each room of your house and get rid of everything you don't want or need, sell it, give it away or recycle it the more you get rid of can help sell your house and might even make the removal cheaper as there will be less to move.
The services that we offer that could help are Storage and or Waste Disposal

Start PackingList Item 2
Once you know for sure that you are moving, start packing!
Boxing up doesn't need to be done in the same week that you move and will be a lot less stressful if you start early.
Begin with the loft and sheds etc and work your way around the house, pack the things you definitly won't be using / needing for a while.
Always use tape to seal the boxes flat and never ever use the tapeless method (Where you fold the sides of the box into each other) as they nearly always collapse and spill everywhere.
Fill the boxes as underfilled boxes are weak and could crumple, boxes should weigh no more than 25kgs, if you struggle to lift the box, it's too heavy!
Write which room you want the box to go to on the tape on the top of the box, this way the removal man will be able to see it.
We can supply Boxes, Paper and tape or we can even do the packing for you.

Removal CompanyList Item 3
You might be thinking that you can save a few pounds and move yourself (With the help of a few mates) but you'll quickly find out that this is not a good idea and most people only will only try it the one time and would never do it again!
Choose a company that has been trading for a long time and that has good reviews from other customers (Check Trading Standards website or Checkatrader)
We recommend that you ask up to 3 companies to give you an estimate of how much your removal will cost, that way you will know if you're paying a fair price for the sevice they supply (Ask whether the price includes VAT, insurance etc)
Most companies will only send an estimator to your house once you have a confirmed removal date but most will give you an idea of costs over the phone.
We have an online form you can fill out https://www.warpspeed.co.uk/removal-costs
