Why Choose Shiply for London Removals?


No two house Removals are alike, so having several quotes from various companies means you can find the right service for your move. Shiply has thousands of registered removal companies, including London removals firms, which means you'll have more choice over the help you need and the price you pay. When listing your house or flat move on Shiply, be as detailed as you can, so removal companies know what services to offer and can provide accurate quotes.


Better for the Environment & Lower Cost


By using Shiply for your London Removals, you're helping the environment too. Our registered moving companies schedule jobs around their existing work, or use spare space in vehicles. This means your move will often have less of a negative impact on the environment. Additionally, removal companies can offer cheaper prices for the same high standards of service you'd expect from approaching removal firms individually, saving you up to 75% compared to standard rates.


With Shiply, you'll have more choice between removal companies in London, more choice between types of company and types of service, and more choice over what price you pay. Time is saved as removal companies come to you, instead of you having to contact each company individually. Our online form is simple and user-friendly too. You just need to answer a few questions about your move, and your listing will be live in no time.


Types of Removal Services Available


There are three types of removal services you can find on Shiply - full removal service, part removal service and self-service Removals. A full moving service will assist you with all of the move, including packing, heavy lifting and unpacking. This type of service is typically at a higher cost but would suit a busy household with minimal time for packing.


A part-service offers some of the same features as a full service, but not all. Typically a part-service will include loading and unloading at both ends, but will not include helping with any packing. This type of service would be best for those that are around on the day to be involved in the move, but perhaps are in need of an extra pair of hands.


A self-service or self-packing move is the most basic and cost-effective of the removal types. Self-service can be either just the hiring of a van for you to drive yourself, or it can be hiring a driver with a vehicle to get your possessions from the old house to the new one. If you've already got lots of hands ready to help on moving day, a self-service move is probably all you'll need.


Choosing the Best Removal Company for Your Removals London


Before accepting a quote from a removal company, we recommend that you take a look at the Shiply profile of each company, here you can check their insurance and accreditations, as well as their feedback as rated by other Shiply users. Once you've decided which company to go for, accept your chosen quote.


Preparing for Your House Move


There are a lot of things to do to prepare for moving day. Here are some tips to help you in the lead up to your moving day;


Inform people about your move - notify companies about your move including energy providers, your bank and Royal Mail. Subscriptions and memberships will need to be moved over to the new address, as well as your TV licence and phone bill.


Declutter - Get rid of things you don't want to keep. For higher value items, try selling on eBay or donating items to charity.


Ask supermarkets for leftover cardboard boxes - Boxes don't have to cost a fortune. Ask friends and family for spare boxes or visit your local supermarket to see if they have any in the stock room for you to have.


Pack your most used items last - If you're struggling to get started with the packing, a great place to start is to pack the items you use the least, first.


Label everything - Make sure boxes are clearly labelled, so removal companies know which room to take the box to, and will help you when unpacking at the new home.


Try to schedule a weekday move - If you can, a weekday move is more beneficial for several reasons - There'll be less traffic on the roads and fewer people around.


Recruit helpers - If you think you might need to, ask for help from those close to you to ease the load on moving day. An extra person helping will get the work done faster, which will lower stress levels and give you more time for enjoying your new home.


Keep in contact with your chosen company - If there are any changes that may affect how your chosen removal company can help you on the day, make sure you let them know so they are aware in advance.


Arrange cleaning in the old house - Whether you're cleaning it yourself or hiring a professional cleaning company, make sure you leave the old house empty, clean and tidy for the new owners to move in.


Pack a moving day bag - A great idea is for everyone to have their own moving bag packed with essentials for the first few days in your new home. This will save you having to unpack boxes prematurely, or wasting time desperately looking for a phone charger in a sea of boxes.
