Why Professional Furniture Movers in Perth Matter
The Value of Experience
Experienced, professional furniture removalists in Perth have handled heavy, bulky, fragile and valuable items many times. We use lifting methods to reduce the risk of injury, and we have equipment which helps make the process easier.
Local furniture removal companies Perth know the roads, local traffic conditions and when and where permits may be required for loading or unloading, so everything runs as scheduled.
The risks involved in Self-Moves
With a DIY move, you have the risk of straining yourself while moving heavy and bulky items, plus you may damage your furniture or property.
Professional furniture removalists in Perth know how to avoid these risks. Our removals services include specialist packing materials, and we know how to lift heavy furniture to avoid strains.
How Experts Protect Your Possessions
Professional movers prevent damage to your furniture by using padding and wrapping materials. Valuable and fragile items can be moved in specially designed crates, and everything is secured to minimise the risk of shifting during transportation.
Packing Techniques Used by Perth Furniture Removalists
Professional furniture removalists in Perth use a range of specialised techniques to pack your belongings safely, including:
Specialist Packing Supplies
- A supply of packing crates in a range of sizes helps prevent crushing and overfilling. Experienced movers in Perth put heavier items in small boxes and use larger crates for bulkier, but lighter, items.
- Bubble wrap is used to cushion fragile items, and wrapping paper also offers protection for items within packing crates.
- Boxes are sealed using heavy-duty packing tape to ensure items are secure during the move.
- Furniture blankets and stretch wrap may be used to protect furniture such as sofas, tables or mattresses from dust or scratches.
Expert Techniques for Packing
- Packing material is layered inside boxes to reduce the risk of items breaking if they shift during relocation.
- Furniture which could separate, such as drawers from within a cabinet or shelves, is often dismantled and wrapped individually, to reduce the chance of scratches.
- Items are carefully stacked and even secured with straps or tie-downs to prevent movement within the moving truck.
Inventory Management
- Each box is labelled with its contents and location at the destination to make unpacking simpler.
- An inventory is sometimes created to ensure every item is accounted for at the new premises.
- Boxes containing fragile items are labelled as such, so all the removalists know to take extra care.
How Perth Furniture Removal Companies Handle Large Items
Experienced furniture removalists in Perth will assess each item of furniture and check access points, like staircases, tight corners and doorways, at the new premises before deciding whether to dismantle the furniture for safer transportation.
When to Dismantle Furniture
- When items of furniture are deemed to be too large to get through doorways or other tight spaces, they are dismantled to help prevent scratches and damage.
- Flat pack furniture is also often dismantled to reduce the risk of its joints loosening.
Safe Methods for Disassembly and Reassembly
- Professional furniture movers in Perth follow the manufacturer’s guidelines, from the original manual if possible, using suitable power and hand tools.
- Small parts, like bolts and screws, are bagged and taped to the relevant piece of furniture.
- Items are sometimes photographed before disassembly to help reassemble them accurately.
Protecting Furniture
- Fragile furniture parts, like antique fittings or glass panels, are removed and individually wrapped in protective materials before they are packed.
- Drawers and shelves are often packed separately to reduce the risk of scratching or other damage.
Moving Office Equipment and Electrical Belongings
During commercial moves, Perth furniture removal companies use techniques to ensure everything arrives in good condition and business downtime is minimised.
Electronics and Appliances
- Electronic devices, such as printers, monitors and computers, can be wrapped with anti-static material to help reduce the risk of exposure to moisture or static damage whilst being moved.
- Detachable parts like cables and items such as ink cartridges and batteries are removed during relocation.
- Purpose-made, or sturdy, crates ensure items are unable to move during transportation.
Office Machinery or Tech
- Experienced furniture removalists in Perth WA will check the weight, shape and potential risks of damage for each piece of expensive machinery to identify the best method for packing and transport.
- Meet with IT department experts to ensure equipment is safely shut down and restarted, to help protect business data.
Safe Transport for Cables and Small Devices
- Carefully label each cable or other detached items, to identify relevant devices so reinstalling them can be completed quickly.
- Use bags and cable ties to prevent loss and tangling.
