Frequently Asked Questions
Which days are the most affordable for moving?
While there’s no definitive answer, moving between Monday and Thursday is generally more cost-effective. Weekday rates are typically lower because demand is higher on weekends when people have time off work. For a precise quote tailored to your needs, feel free to contact us at 01522 254 262; our team is ready to assist you.
How do I select the right home removals company?
Consider factors like experience and reputation. Barnes of Lincoln has been serving customers since 1919, offering a wide range of services including packing and storage to match your needs. Reading customer reviews can provide insight into others’ experiences and set expectations for the service you’ll receive.
Do I need to pay upfront for removals services?
Typically, payment is expected by your moving day, which is standard practice among reputable removals companies. We will provide clear payment terms when you book our services.
Will my removals company pack my belongings?
Absolutely! We offer professional packing services tailored to your move, no matter where you’re relocating. Our skilled team ensures your items are securely packed in clearly labelled boxes and carefully logged onto an inventory, safeguarding your possessions so they arrive safely at your new home.
What items won’t removals companies transport?
We cannot move certain items like flammable materials, hazardous chemicals, or anything that could harm the load or vehicle. If you’re unsure about specific items, feel free to ask us when we conduct our house survey—we’re happy to help clarify.
Is it customary to tip the removals team?
Tipping is entirely at your discretion and not expected. While our team appreciates the gesture, we are committed to providing excellent service regardless. If you choose to tip, simply give what you feel is appropriate.
How can I reduce my removals costs?
You can save money by decluttering and minimizing the number of items you move, which reduces the total number of boxes and potentially lowers costs. Plus, starting fresh in your new home without excess clutter is a great feeling, especially if you’re downsizing.
When should I book my move?
We recommend booking your move 4 to 6 weeks in advance. During the busy summer months, it’s wise to book 8 weeks ahead or more. Early booking ensures you have ample time to organize everything before moving day.
Do removals companies dismantle and reassemble furniture?
Yes, we offer dismantling and reassembly services for large furniture items such as beds and wardrobes. Be sure to discuss this with us in advance so we can plan accordingly and ensure there are no misunderstandings on move day.
How can I best prepare for moving day?
Ensure you are ready for the removals team when they arrive so that they can get straight on with the job. Moving furniture and boxes is heavy work and can sometimes be dangerous. If possible, have your children and pets taken care of for the day.
Keep essential items such as passports, car keys, and any other important documents in a safe place to avoid them being packed. Additionally, inform the team of items you are leaving for the new owners.
On moving day, make sure pathways and access points are clear for the moving team. If you require permits for our removals vehicles, discuss this with our helpful surveyor so that you can arrange them in good time.
