Top Tips For Your Winter Move

Moving in winter is often not everybody’s first choice. The snow, ice, limited daylight hours and cold weather conditions are not the dream moving house scenario. The cold weather can cause delays, with icy roads and the risk of snow all potential factors to cause havoc on moving day. However, this also means a big reduction in waiting times and prices for removals companies at this time of year. If you are moving house in winter out of choice or circumstance, then we have provided some top tips to not let the move defeat you. Contact us on 0800 833 932 for more advice from our experts.

Find a reliable removal company

The most important factor for taking the stress out of your move is to hire a reliable removal company. Not only will they minimise stress, but they will also be fully trained to handle bad weather conditions. A company like AVM, which has lots of experience, will be able to understand and plan for the risks. We know that the weather can be unpredictable in the UK, so we will have unique procedures in place for your move to ensure it is as smooth as possible. Not much could be worse than having an unreliable removal company who abandon you on the day due to bad weather.
If you would like to book with AVM removals, we recommend booking as far in advance as possible, especially if your moval date is before Christmas because this is a peak time for customers wanting to be moved in before the celebrations. Please call us on 0800 833 932 or request a quote at the top of our site.

Allow Extra Time

We all know that the British weather can be unpredictable and if this winter is anything like last winter, the beast from the east is certainly capable of pushing plans back a few days. We recommend that when planning your winter move, you add extra time to each deadline to allow for common winter delays.

Monitor the weather conditions

In the days leading up to the move, we suggest you keep an eye on the weather forecast. This is so that you are prepared for what is in store. Strong winds, heavy rain, sleet or even snow are all a possibility for your winter moving day. It is also a good idea to keep out a list of the contact details of important people to your move such as your estate agent, solicitors, and removal company so that you can communicate any forced or chosen changed to your move day plans.

Removal Companies Oxford

Are you moving home and comparing removal companies in the Oxford area? If so then AVM is likely to be the best choice for you. Our comprehensive and unique service is second to none. Visit our removals Oxford page or contact us on 0800 833 932 for more information.

Why Use a Removal Company Oxford?

Moving house is a big change so can be a very stressful time especially if you have young children or a big family. There is the option to take care of the whole removal process yourself if you want to. You may think this will save you money and the hassle of finding a removal company you can trust. However, at AVM Storage and Shipping, we would urge you to think again. Moving by yourself can be time-consuming and cost more. Firstly, you will need lots of packaging materials like tape, boxes, bubble wrap and more. If you employ AVM to help with your removal, we can provide all the materials required and we recycle all of the waste.
You will also need a van. Even if you have easy access to a van (perhaps you or a friend owns one) it may not be big enough which can result in adding additional time to your move and higher petrol costs. You do not want to be driving back and forth from the property you are moving out of to your new home. At AVM, we have a range of different vehicle options for you to choose from so that your move can be as convenient as possible.

Some removals chains are not very straightforward at all with the time you need to leave your old property by not coordinating with a time that you can move into your new one. If there are a few hours between the time you have to move out, and the time you can move in, AVM can safely transport and station all your household goods in the van(s) outside your new house until you have

Storage Oxford | AVM Storage and Shipping


With the need for dedicated storage on the rise, whether for personal or business use, AVM Storage Oxford has the solution for all of your storage needs. Whether you need a lot of smaller items stored, or larger things such as furniture or even vehicles, our storage units can accommodate you.
If you are looking for safe and secure storage in Oxford or if you require storage units in Oxford, contact AVM storage and Shipping today www.avmstorage-shipping.co.uk or call 0800 833932.
There are a number of reasons as to why the need for storage might arise. The obvious reason would be to free up valuable space. You may need to accommodate a new baby and the spare room can no longer be used as the dumping ground for all the things that you no longer have a use for but are not ready to part with. With house prices at a premium, many are now choosing to downsize or stay put in an already full household. AVM Storage Oxford can assist you with keeping your possessions safe and secure with the option of accessing them whenever you need.
Many people have been inspired recently by the decluttering phenomenon, made popular by lifestyle guru Marie Kondo, clearing their spaces of items that are not needed or that do not ‘spark joy’. In practice this is often easier said than done, which is why storage is a great option. Hiring temporary storage to store those items you aren’t sure about can help you decide whether or not you really need them before choosing to either keep them or giving them away.
Students can take advantage of the cheap storage options, choosing to store all their worldly belongings during the summer holidays instead of the insecure and risky option of leaving it all behind in accommodation or hauling it all back to Mums & Dads only to drag it all back again in September. Similarly, a gap year will require a safe place to keep items until the need arises to use them again.
If you are thinking of starting or already own a small business, storage might be the perfect solution for storing stock if you have limited space at home or on your business premises. Our climate controlled storage units mean any stock will be safe from damp or mould, or even excess temperatures. You can even engage the assistance of one of our removal vans to help move your merchandise. At AVM Storage Oxford, we want to support small businesses and our storage facility is ideal for those starting out, with low costs for secure self storage.
