Carpenters / Joiners and Moving Home

Most domestic removal customers typically don’t put “find a carpenter or joiner” at the top of their ‘things to do’ list when planning their move.

Yet there are times when they might be either highly advisable or even essential.

That’s typically the case in two sets of circumstances:

• When you need to remove doors, windows, paneling or other wooden features in order to get large items out of your home or into your new one
• In situations where an item needs to be dismantled before removal – something that may or may not be easier than removing doors and windows.

As part of our household removals service, we may well be able to help in certain situations here and if so, you won’t need a specialist. Clearly, if a piece of furniture is self-assembly then you can easily dismantle it yourself.  If doors can be just lifted off their hinges then we can perhaps help there.

One of our proudest boasts is that we can cope with anything that you need to have moved from ‘A’ to ‘B’ when relocating your offices.

In some instances though, we may need to bring with us (or help you to rent) some special equipment. That can arise in situations where you have something that is unusually heavy, large or awkward to shift as part of your office removal.

Here are just a few things where special attention may be required.

• Safes. Some of these are so heavy that they’re impossible to lift without mechanical lifting gear and wheeled transport. Note also that even if the safe is ‘yours’, it may require special dismantling if secured into the floors and walls. A tip here also relating to fixed safes and sales contracts – remember that if you’re selling office premises you own then a safe may be seen as a fixture and fitting and may need to be left in place, unless you have explicitly mentioned it in your sales contract.

• Printing or other machines.  Although technology has hugely reduced the size of such devices in the last 20 years, some large-volume specialist printing machines are too heavy and big to move by hand and again, lifting equipment may be required.

Top Tips for Finding Treasures When Moving House

There is an issue there about responsibilities because professional furniture removals companies aren't also waste disposal specialists but there's an even bigger question to be asked: Do you know what you're throwing away?

In the last 10-15 years, the arrival of online selling and the huge growth in antique programmes on TV has raised awareness about the value of ordinary household items yet people are still just throwing them out.What looks like junk to you just could have some value.For more details view -

MOVING LARGE PLANTS IN POTS

We are perfectly happy to take on the removal of plants in pots. Nothing is too much of a challenge for Total Care Removals!

Even so, this is a category of item that can, at times, cause some unexpected problems for home furniture removals. So, here are a few of our best tips.

1. Make sure you can legally remove them.  Plants in pots are usually considered to be movable and therefore not a problem but there can be grey areas, such as plants in pots that are secured in place by screws or cement etc.  If in doubt, take legal advice.

2. Please let us know if the pots they’re in are very large and heavy – such as very big solid stone or concrete troughs.  We made need some lifting equipment to help. For more details visit http://www.totalcareremovals.co.nz/moving-large-plants-in-pots/
