Thinking of moving in or around London? Moving might be seen as an easy business - just rent a van, grab a mate and you can both act as your own movers. London has many professional moving companies, however, and you may be much better served by employing one of them - here are a few reasons why: 

 

Professional London movers will be insured  

 

So you've loaded your van up with furniture, possessions and valuables and you're ready for moving. London is a big place and it may be miles to your destination - have you thought about what will happen if you break anything if you're acting as your own movers? London moving companies that are professionals will be fully insured for any damage but you are unlikely to be, so acting as your own London movers could cost you a lot if you start to break things. 

 

Professional London movers know their way around 

 

Have you though what will happen if you hit roadworks on the big day, or a route is closed? You may need to be at your new property at a set time and if so you will be wishing you had hired professional London movers. London is their patch and they will know every trick in the book to get around London. Moving without professional help can be tricky if time is an issue! 

 

Professional movers in London are just that - professional  

 

So you've decided to do your own moving. London has plenty of companies that could do it but you've seen the chance to save money by acting as your own London movers. But just how much experience do you have - have you had proper training for lifting heavy objects? Can you maneuver white goods through tricky access areas? Can you keep going all day? The answer may well be no to all three and by the end of a day's London moving you may well feel that you should have employed professional London movers after all! 

 

Are you really saving any money by doing your own London moving? 

 

You may have decided against employing a professional London moving company because you think it's too expensive. A London moving company will obviously cost money but have you though about how much it will cost to do your own London moving? London is an expensive place so a van will cost a lot to hire - add to that petrol costs and any money you may give friend for helping and you may end spending more money than you would have given to professional London movers!
