Two Reasons To Use Residential Furniture Removalists
Here are just two examples of the many reasons why it's worth using a residential furniture removal service.
They know how to correctly handle all types of furniture
Residential furniture removalists know how to handle furniture correctly. Whilst you might think that carrying furniture is simple and doesn't require any skill, this is not true. If you moved your own furniture, you might make mistakes, such as trying to pick up one side of your dresser by its drawer handles; this could result in those handles breaking off and the item crashing onto your feet or the ground and getting scratched. Furniture removalists will never carry furniture that has handles or knobs by these components.
Similarly, residential furniture removal specialists will usually ask their clients about the age of any delicate-looking furniture and whether it is an assembled flat-pack piece; if it is, they'll then avoid carrying it by any one part. For example, in the case of an assembled flat-pack chair, they won't just pick it up by its back but will also use one of their hands to support the seat so that the former doesn't detach from the latter. These simple but smart techniques will ensure that you don't have to worry about reassembling or repairing any furniture after it's dropped off at the new place.
They have supplies that will protect your furniture
Residential furniture removalists also have a selection of supplies that can protect your furniture. For example, whilst you might have blankets that you could throw over your bigger items, such as your dining table or bed, these blankets might not be thick or large enough to fully protect this furniture. If for example, you cover a wardrobe with a blanket that leaves its feet exposed, those feet might get chipped whilst the item is being transported.
Removalists have blankets that are designed for covering household items and are very large, thick and robust (meaning that there is almost no possibility of them tearing and leaving a section of a furniture item exposed). They also have items like dolly trolleys, that not only enable them to move heavy items, such as tall bookcases, very quickly but also ensure that the base of this type of furniture doesn't get scraped along the ground as it's being moved, which can happen when you're trying to lift an item that's too big and heavy to hold in an elevated position for more than a few minutes.
