Some moves are not a single trip from one front door to the next. A family may send part of the house to the new address and part to a garage, a relative’s house, or a facility they have booked themselves. Pro Removals Harrogate will transport those items. We do not operate a store, and we do not offer climate-controlled rooms of our own.
Decide what is actually going aside
Walk the house and split things into three groups: coming to the new home now, going to the other address, and leaving the house for good. The third group should not be packed into our van. Charity, the tip and a clear-out are your jobs before the day.
Be strict about the second group. Loft items that have not been opened in years are a common reason a quote grows on the morning. If they are travelling, they need to be on the list. If they are not, they should be gone before we arrive.
Pack for the time they will sit
Boxes that will sit for months need to be closed, dry and liftable. Books and papers should be packed so the box does not split. Clothes should be clean and dry. Soft furnishings that are damp will not improve in a closed box. Do not pack paints, fuels, open liquids or anything that leaks.
Label each box with your name, the room it belongs to, and whether it is for the new house or the other address. A simple written list, with box numbers, saves an argument later about what was collected. Photograph anything valuable before it is wrapped.
If the other address is a facility you have rented, follow that site’s own rules on what they accept. Any temperature or humidity control is their service, not ours. We deliver to the door or bay they allow, at the time you have arranged with them.
Tell the crew about two destinations
A second drop-off changes the day. Put both addresses on the quote, and mark boxes so they are loaded in an order that can be separated. Our packing service can box the fragile rooms. The move itself, if it is a whole home, is a house removal.
We collect across Bilton, Oatlands and Pannal. Send both addresses and the split of the list when you get a free quote.
