How many movers will you need when hiring a removal company?
Posted on 07/08/2014
When it comes to moving home there are many factors that a removal company considers, such as when the removal needs to take place, how large the home is and the services that they will be providing to the client are. All of these factors help removal companies determine how many movers will need to be allocated to the job. The average move takes two men and most of the time two men are quite enough for the average home removal, with everything considered.
There are some cases though more men are needed for a home removal such as when there are many large items in the home. Removal companies always try to allocate enough men, so that the job can be done safely, on time and efficiently. Large homes also require more than the average two men allocation. When a removal company has a large home to pack and haul they make sure that they allocate the proper amount of manpower necessary to complete the job within a 4 hour window. This helps keep the cost low for the client and the schedule open for other clients.
On the other side of things, there are also cases where clients do not need more than one mover to help them with their removal and in these situations there is a service just for them. A Man and Van service was thought up just for these types of removals. Man an Van service lets a client have a mover that can help with the job, they basically pack and load a small moving van together. Having someone just to help out and provide the truck to haul a client’s belongings to the new location is a perfect service for those with small removals or just a few items to move.
Removal companies are quite good at knowing just how many people will be needed for any specific job that needs to be carried out, so there is really no need to think about the amount of people that will be needed to carry out the removal. Questions to help removal companies figure this out have been developed through years of experience. Dealing with a removal company that has been in the market for a while, at least five years, will be able to give their clients an almost precise quote on how many men the job will take and how long the job will likely take.
One thing that needs to be considered about removal quotes is that timing may not always be exact or necessarily precise and this is because all of the outside variables that affect arrival and departure from jobs. For example if the job takes place in a downtown area or in a big city traffic can make the removal team late and in turn affecting arrival at any other jobs behind schedule. Good removal companies will always call their clients and make sure to let them know of any delays that may occur. Good communication is a sign that you are working with a good removal company.
