Top tips
Hiring a rubbish clearance, without the regret.
Four moves that separate a smooth job from a nightmare.
Weight Overloads
A van might look half-empty but be at its legal weight limit if filled with rubble; professionals will stop loading for safety.
Property Damage
Scuffed walls and chipped door frames are common when moving heavy furniture; always check the firm’s insurance policy.
Hidden Surcharges
Some firms quote low but add "tipping fees" or "heavy weight" supplements at the end—always get an "all-in" price.
Inaccessible Parking
If the van is blocked or has to park 100 yards away, the job will take twice as long and cost more in labour.
