5 Reasons to Hire a Local Man with a Van in West London

The coronavirus pandemic has seen a greater emphasis placed on ‘shopping local’ with consumers encouraged to make use of local shops, and establishments, staying close to home to limit the spread of the virus. That’s not the whole story, however, as there are a number of advantages for shopping local over buying from large corporations.

The same attitude can also be applied to services, and there are many reasons you might want to consider hiring a local man and van firm, rather than hiring a big-name company or hiring a van yourself. OnePlace2DSave is a family-firm based in London. Our services extend right across the capital and beyond. In this blog, we’ll outline some of the reasons you should hire a local man with a van in West London.

Convenience

You might be thinking, why should I not just hire a van and do the moving myself?

Well, there are many reasons, starting with convenience.

Hiring a van usually means you are then responsible for the vehicle for a minimum amount of time, including getting it from A to B, loading and unloading it, and finding somewhere to park each time.

At OnePlace2Save, we offer a range of appropriate vehicles, designed to help you move or clearout your office with the minimum of fuss.

You can hire up to 10 movers to help you get the job done in one trip, and they will safely and securely transport your goods and belongings to their chosen destination.

As a London-based company, we are also familiar with the best routes to take (and those to avoid) for maximum efficiency. A bigger national firm might offer a similar range of services, but they are unlikely to have our local knowledge.

Then there are the items that you don’t wish to keep hold off. If you are going it alone, you will need to organize disposal. This can be a major hassle, particularly if there are bulky or hazardous materials.

On the other hand, OnePlace2Save is fully licensed by the Environment Agency for the collection and disposal of domestic and commercial waste, meaning we can also deal with a large variety of materials from wood and metal, to paint and other solvents, as well as unwanted furniture and IT equipment.

This disposal meets the highest European and UK Environment Agency standards and Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) directives.

Our partner service also helps us to guarantee GDPR compliant disposal of computing and telephony equipment.

Cost

We pride ourselves on our value for money and provide a range of economical options to suit your budget.

This gives you a degree of control over what you pay, depending on your requirements.

Not only can you check our different rates depending on the appropriate transport needed for the job in question, but you can also get in touch for a free, no-obligation, personalized quote.

Just explain your requirements and we will be happy to draw up a quote based on our expert recommendations.

Everything is included, so you won’t end up extra for parking, petrol, or waste disposal.

Care

We’re a family business and customer care is at the heart of everything we do. From hiring the best drivers and movers to going the extra mile to try to reduce the stress which can be associated with a big job such as an office or house move, we are here to help.

From specifically designed packing materials to protect your belongings, to strapping your furniture, motorcycle, or piano into the appropriate van to prevent damage, we’ve got you covered.

Speaking of cover, we treat all your belongings with the utmost care and attention, but occasionally accidents can happen. In the unlikely event, something does get lost or damaged in our care, you are fully covered by our Public Liability Insurance, and our Goods in Transit Insurance, during the transportation phase of the job. This extra layer of protection is standard with every job we do for you, so you can rest easy knowing that, should something unfortunate happen, you won’t end up paying for it.

Confidence

With more than a decade’s experience under our belts, you can be confident that you are working with seasoned professionals. Over the years, we’ve learned a thing or two about the best way to get the job done, and we are consistently evaluating our processes to ensure you receive the best possible service, every time.

You can check out some of the positive reviews we’ve received from our happy customers, which have earned us a high Google rating of 4.1 at the time of writing.

A Continued Arrangement

Once you’ve trusted us with an important undertaking in your life, be it a house move, office clearance or another job entirely, It makes sense for you to trust us again in the future.

At OnePlace2Save, we are proud to do semi-regular business with a number of repeat customers, with whom we have developed a relationship.

Why Single Movers Should Hire a Man & Van in East London

Living alone can be wonderful, and moving into a new place is an exciting event in anyone’s life. 

However, particularly for those going it alone, it can be a complicated and stressful process. On the other hand, if you hire the right people for the job, it needn’t be such a hassle.

oneplacesave is a reputable removals company, based in London. In this blog, we’ll take you through some of the reasons a single mover might benefit from hiring a man with a van in East London.

Expertise

If you are living on your own everything is up to you, from the organisation to the execution of the move, the packing and unpacking, and disposal of any unwanted goods and furniture. This process can be overwhelming and exhausting.

Most people can rustle up a few friends or family members to help them move, but then you run the risk of someone injuring themselves carrying heavy furniture.

Our strong team of movers are happy to carry furniture up and downstairs, dissemble and reassemble and bring it into the correct rooms. We can remove and rehang doors to ensure they don’t get in the way of manoeuvring furniture and we may even be able to work with your window company (provided we have enough notice and they are amendable) if you need to remove a window in order to get a large piece of furniture in or out.

No Hidden Costs

Whether you are moving into your own home, or renting a new property, when you are single, there is no one to split the cost with and, therefore, you may need to budget all our costs carefully.

After the expense of deposits, rent or mortgage payments, and agency fees, it can be tempting to try to save money by trying to move without using a professional company.

However, this may be false economy and end up costing you more in the long run.

oneplace2save Man with a Van East London company will prepare a fully-costed personalised quote for you, including packing materials, collection, loading and unloading the van, and transportation to your chosen destination.

We’ll look at your requirements and allocate the most appropriate vehicle to complete the job with maximum efficiency.

Without the aid of a professional service, you may end up having to make multiple journeys, with petrol or van hire costs mounting up with each trip. You could also damage something in transit and ended up having to pay to fix or replace it. Any reputable man and van company will operate with both goods in transit and public liability insurance. This ensures that, in the unlikely event something does get damaged or lost in our care, you know that you are covered and won’t lose out financially.

We can also handle the responsible, eco-friendly disposal of any unwanted goods or furniture, so you don’t have to pay to have it collected, or account for transport and disposal at a later date.

Packing Materials

If you would prefer to pack up your goods yourself that’s absolutely fine, but did you know you can purchase specialised packing materials direct from our website? 

You may think bin bags and some boxes will do, but most people don’t realise how much stuff they actually own until they come to move and start packing.

In our shop you’ll find everything you needs to protect your belongings, furniture, and equipment. From bubble wrap and Sellotape to Furni-guard and different sized boxes, we’ve got you covered.

Wardrobe boxes even come fitted it a hanging bar so you can transport clothes such as shirts and jackets still on their hangers. This means you can easily remove them from their boxes and hang them straight up in your new wardrobe, with no need for ironing – one less to thing to worry about as you settle in your new home.

 

A Helping Hand

As mentioned above, our Man and Van East London team is happy to go the extra mile when it comes to helping you move. We don’t just leave you once the van is unloaded and drive off, far from it. As well as reassembling furniture for you, our team of movers can reconnect appliances such as washing machines or dishwashers. They will help you unpack, even suggesting storage solutions, based on years of experience, hang pictures for you, and even change lightbulbs. 

We really are here to help you complete your move with the minimum stress possible, so if you want us to stay and help you get settled in by providing these little extras, we are more than happy to do so. This means you don’t have to think about hiring a handyman, or persuading a tired family member to start doing bits of DIY, as soon as you move in.

Local Knowledge

We’ve been operating across London for more than a decade, so we know the best routes to take and the roads to avoid, in order to complete the job as quickly and safely as possible. If you are moving into a new area, you may not be familiar with things like parking restrictions and shortcuts to avoid rush hour traffic. As such, it may end up costing you time and money if you try to navigate them without help

.

We also have a network of local contractors, so we can recommend trusted companies for services that we are unable to offer personally.

So, there you have it, just a few of the reasons a single mover might want to hire a man with a van in East London. We operate across the whole of London and also take selected jobs in other parts of the UK and even Europe, so if you are based elsewhere, we may still be able to accommodate your request.
