Without proper planning, removals can be quite stressful. Moving pieces of furniture can be cumbersome and will definitely need careful attention. If the furniture is antique, holding great sentimental and financial value, then the removal process will call for even more careful attention.
It's no cheap undertaking to get your antique furniture restored. It's also never easy to see anything that is of great sentimental value to you in a damaged state. For these reasons, you will want to ensure that they don't get damaged in any way. As you get ready to up and move house, here are three things to keep in mind when it comes to removals that will involve moving your valued antiqued furniture
Get Insured
You should not take any chances on prized possession such as antique furniture. Before you can even begin looking at possible insurers, you should engage the services of an expert in antique furniture valuation to help you understand exactly how much your antiques are really worth.
Accidents can happen at any time during removals, and if and when they do, you should ensure that you are well covered and that your valued furniture items are protected. You should speak to your insurer about the kind of damage that is covered and what is not covered during the removals.
Take Stock Of Your Furniture
When getting ready for the big move, it is vital that you take the time to take stock of your prized antique furniture. Scrutinise each piece, and ensure you get photographic evidence for keep. After the local removals service has finished, you can check the condition of the furniture and compare it to what it was all like initially. Having documented evidence of the status of your furniture before the move will make the process of an insurance claim smoother.
You may also want to verify that the furniture pieces are all there after unloading your belongings at the new property.
Only Work With Professionals
Removals are best if left to the professionals. It becomes even more important to choose an expert and experienced removal company when you are dealing with valuable items such as antique furniture. There are some companies that specialise as furniture removalists, and you can rest assured that your furniture will be in the best of hands with them. Hiring furniture removalists will be worth every dollar that you spend on their services.
Hello, my name is Mikey and this is my moving and storage blog. I would like to welcome you all to what I hope will grow into a fantastic blog. I must say, I didn't know a thing about this topic until last summer when I had to pack up my stuff and move it across Australia from Perth to Syndey. I had been offered a fantastic new job so I had to relocate. I had a few friends in Sydney and I thought the move could be a real adventure. I hired a moving company and contacted a storage place so I could keep the stuff I didn't have room for safe. I learnt so much from working with the professionals who worked for these companies, I want to share it here.
