FAQs - Burglary Prevention and Home Removals


In what follows below, an expert in the removals industry will offer some responses to questions relating to burglary prevention when moving home.

Why are the subjects of home removals and burglary linked?

In many respects, they are not!

Burglary is unfortunately an ever-present risk for almost every householder and that's the case whether you have been living in a property for years or are in the course of moving home.

However, there may be times when burglary can be linked to home removals. That might happen in situations where you own or are renting a property but are unable to immediately move into it for one reason or another.

As burglars typically prefer unoccupied properties, the risks may be higher in such circumstances.

Don’t Economise On Cartons


It is sometimes the case that when we arrive for Christchurch removals where the owners have done their own packing, we immediately become concerned about the quality of the cardboard cartons they have used.

Although we have touched on this one before in our blogs, it’s so important we’ve decided to revisit the subject.

The cartons you pack your household goods in serve two purposes:

  • to keep your goods inside and easily transportable;
  • to stop their contents being crushed by other cartons or household materials stacked on top of  them.

Obviously, nobody wants their precious items rolling about loose in the back of a removals van.  So, it’s important that the cartons are strong enough to prevent even sometimes relatively heavy items falling through the bottom of them.
