Why packing services from trusted removalists Perth make a difference
There is more work involved in moving home or office in Perth than you probably expect. Packing every item in every room, getting hold of packing crates and boxes, making sure your fragile and precious items are safe and secure, all while trying to stay on schedule, can lead to sleepless nights and rising stress levels.
Here are some of the ways a professional packing service from an experienced Perth removalist offers peace of mind and changes your moving experience:
The hidden cost of DIY packing
DIY packing may seem cheaper, but rushing this job or using the wrong materials can result in damage to your belongings.
Some of the pitfalls you face when attempting to pack on your own:
- Sorting and boxing take a lot longer than you planned or expected, meaning extra time off work to get ready in time for the move
- Those last-minute panics when you don’t have enough boxes or packing tape
- Badly-packed items that may break during transit
- Poor labelling, causing unpacking to take longer at your new premises
How professional packers protect your belongings
Experienced, professional packers have well-used, proven methods for packing each item securely and efficiently.
A trained team will:
- Use padding to carefully wrap and pack delicate items, ensuring they are adequately supported for the move
- Pack similar items from the same area together to reduce confusion in the new premises
- Have lifting and loading techniques to prevent items from shifting
Quality packing materials and equipment
Professional-grade materials help keep your items secure from packing until the final box is unloaded.
Experienced packing teams will arrive at your door with:
- Double-walled packing crates in a variety of sizes
- Special boxes for moving artwork and glassware, plus at-risk electrical items, such as TVs
- High-quality, strong paper and bubble wraps
- Labels for everything, straps for a secure transit and blankets for furniture
- Specialised moving equipment, like trollies and dollies, for safe, efficient handling
Effortless move
When your Perth removalist provides a full packing and unpacking service, you will arrive with much of the work already done, so you can start office work straightaway, or relax in your new home.
Instead of hours or days of unpacking, you will have:
- Your furniture reassembled and placed in the right rooms
- Well-labelled cartons, all ready in the correct space
- Key items unpacked first, as you requested
- Packing materials and other rubbish will be removed for you
How moving companies Perth tailor packing services to your needs
Of course, a good removalist company Perth will be able to adapt their packing offerings to suit you and your requirements. Look out for a company that can offer:
Full packing services
If you don’t want to, or can’t afford all the disruption, this is the ultimate convenience for you!
The removalist team will:
- Bring packing materials
- Pack every item from every room, including kitchens, sheds and garages
- Wrap fragile and high-value items to ensure a damage-free move
- Create an inventory if needed
Partial packing
Avoid the risk of breakages for high-value items and reduce your moving costs by selecting certain items or rooms to be packed for you. For instance:
- Ask your moving team to pay attention to electronics, artwork and fragile items only.
- Often the hardest room is the kitchen, so opt for kitchen-only packing
- Leave heavier items, from garages and storage areas, to the experts
Unpacking services
Unpacking can take a long time, and it’s not unusual to find unopened crates weeks after you have moved.
To help you settle in quickly, go for unpacking services only, including:
- Preparing certain, selected areas, such as bedrooms, living spaces and kitchens
- Removing items from crates and placing them in cupboards or on benches, or shelves, as requested
- Removal of used packing materials and boxes
Beyond packing: removalist companies Perth residents use for extra moving services
Many removalists Perth offer additional services to make the whole moving process even easier for you.
Cleaning Services
Whether at your old premises or the new office or home, you could probably do without the added pressure of having to clean. Ask your removalist to help you with:
End of lease cleaning
If you are vacating a rental property, an end-of-lease clean is usually needed to get your bond back. Your moving company Perth will deliver the move-out cleaning, including:
- Full, thorough cleaning of the kitchen and bathrooms
- A wipe down service for window frames, doors and skirting boards
- Inside wardrobes and cupboards
- All floors are either mopped or vacuumed
New premises cleaning for a fresh start
Walk in and enjoy a fresh start. When you arrange a move-in clean, you can expect the following:
- Cupboards and all surfaces are wiped down before unpacking
- Spotless bathrooms and kitchens
- Hard floors and carpets are taken care of
- Dusting corners and higher-up surfaces
Secure storage options
Plans can change, and your new premises might not be ready when you are, or you may decide to keep certain items in long-term storage.
Short-term storage
When you need to move out before the new premises are ready, your removalist can still pack your belongings and move them to a secure storage facility, temporarily. Storage can also be useful when you are:
- Trying to sell a property, and you want to declutter
- Travelling and leasing out your property
- Renovating and need space to work
Longer-term storage for still-loved but unused possessions
Now and then, you may need to free up some space, but you don’t want to sell or give away certain items, such as:
- Still-loved but seldom-used furniture and decor
- Seasonal items, like outdoor furniture or Christmas decorations
- Documentation, business archives and surplus stock
