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.
