With many parts of the country having experienced disruptive snowfall this week, and with high winds, heavy rain and icy conditions added into the mix, it may not seem like the best time to be moving home.
Which is why your choice of removal company is so important.
Because even if 'the weather outside is frightful', when you choose a mover that is a member of the British Association of Removers (BAR), you can rest assured in the knowledge that you - and your possessions - will be in safe hands (even if they are gloved for the conditions!).
As well as choosing a professional, competent mover that adheres to a Trading Standards-approved Code of Practice, is externally audited every year and offers advanced payment protection on your move, BAR Members have the know-how and equipment to ensure the safety of your belongings, the properties and themselves during the move.
They will monitor the weather in advance of the move so that:
- Their selected routes are still viable and safe, with others chosen if not
- The crews are kitted out with the right clothing and footwear
- 'Bad weather' equipment is stowed onboard the removal vehicle(s)
- They have enough protective floor coverings and blankets to keep everything clean and dry
And with a network of hundreds of other professional movers to call on if need be, what your BAR Member won't do, even if the worst happens, is to leave you or your possessions 'out in the cold'.
