How to choose a removals company Oxfordshire

by Tom C. Self Employed, Content Writer
Moving home is said to be one of life's most stressful events but a lot of pressure can be taken off those moving by choosing a good quality removal firm.

The first thing to look for is whether they are a member of the British Association of Removers (BAR) who will go to great lengths to minimise the amount of stress and risk in the move itself.

The main reason for choosing a removal firm Oxfordshire who is a member of BAR is that they are committed to abiding by a code of conduct and this includes only using licensed and legal vehicles and having a scheme to protect the customer's deposit.
BAR also run a free conciliation and arbitration service should anything go wrong in the move itself.

It's this provision for dealing with complaints should anything go wrong, and it's unlikely to with a firm that is a member of BAR, that really sets the standard for dealing with a removals firm Reading that cares.

One such firm is Five Oceans Moving which have an excellent reputation for removals Oxfordshire – which includes removals Oxford and removals Reading.

This Witney-based removals Oxfordshire firm is dedicated to carrying out a stress-free removal and can do so around the world. They are experienced and have an excellent list of client testimonials.

Questions to ask a removal company
Customers should not be shy about asking particular and direct questions of the firm which is being trusted to remove their belongings between properties.

For instance, it is crucial that the customer establishes whether the removal company is a member of the British Association of Removers. The question to ask if they aren't, is why not?

Non-members of BAR may well be cheaper but they will not be delivering the same level of service and, should something go wrong in the house move, then the customer has fewer options to resolve their complaint.

The other important issue for people moving home is that the removal firm’s vehicle is properly licensed and insured. If there is an incident which sees a customer's belongings damaged in transit or loading, then they may not be covered by insurance if the vehicle is not legal or roadworthy.

It's also important to ask the removal company what type of insurance cover they are offering and whether they can supply suitable references. The fact that the firm would be willing to offer references is a good sign because they care about their reputation.

Customers should also establish how long the firm has been trading for and how the move will actually be carried out which means the customer will need to know how many days the firm will need, when they will arrive and how many people will make up the crew.

If the move between properties is a long one, it might entail an overnight stay in which case the customer will need to establish exactly what level of insurance cover is provided for this situation.

Essentially, anyone looking to hire a removals company Oxfordshire should use common-sense and because this is such an important undertaking they should visit the firm concerned and see what condition the vehicles are in and whether the staff are smartly dressed.

It's always a good idea to ask around several removal firms to get a range of the costs involved and pick up some knowledge along the way to help determine which removals firm Oxfordshire is the best one for you and your belongings.

Good luck!
