If you’re putting your items into Storage there are several tips that will help save you a great of time and effort when it comes packing away your belongings. These tips comes from the British Association of Removers, the government’s only recognised trade association for removals. Preparation: Make sure you label the items that you want to put into storage clearly. When it comes to ‘white goods’ (freezers, fridges, washers etc) make sure they’re turned off a couple of days before you move them so that they’re completely dried out. You should try and clean and dry as many items as possible – particular objects used outside (bikes, garden tools etc). We won’t accept hazardous goods like paint, aerosols, gas bottles or weapons. Insurance: The Removal Company Group and International Moving Company can offer you full insurance on all your items stored. List and declare the value of all goods to be stored and be sure to give this to the company in writing. We can help answer any questions you may have with the documentation. Payment: Your storage charges will be calculated on the volume to be stored and in accordance with most rental agreements should be paid for in advance. The insurance premium for cover is usually calculated as a percentage of the rental charge.
