Winter is here!

It's early July and the coldness of Winter has only just hit, but that didn't hinder the rain in any way last month. Although Winter is our quietest season of the year for families relocating, it is also a time where the stress of moving house in the rain brings about many last minute relocation bookings. What is planned to be an easy morning shift using a few trailers, followed by a few beers by lunchtime is no longer feasible. If you find that you are falling into this category, don't hesitate to give us a call on the day to see if we are available to help, whether it be the full houselot or just the heavy items that can't be moved in the rain like lounge suits or beds.

Also, here are a few moving tips for our Winter shifters...

• If it's been a good frost overnight, chances are there may be ice on the deck or footpath. This can dramatically slow things down as the surface becomes slippery. If you haven't packed away the hose yet (or it's not frozen), give it a good blast before the truck arrives to make it a safe environment for everyone.
• We are a supplier of all the packing supplies you'd need to complete a move. A good idea for moving in the rain is to purchase a set of bed bags, which also come big enough to wrap your sofa's in! That will keep your items nice and dry.
• Due to a delayed Winter, there is new growth on the tree's. Check driveways for branches that may cause damage to our trucks. If we can't get the truck up to the house without damage then the furniture needs to be carried down the driveway to the truck on the roadside. A quick trim could make the move go alot smoother for everyone.
