They say that moving house is one of the most stressful things you’ll ever do, but it certainly doesn’t have to be.
Throughout your life, you’ll find yourself moving house in many different circumstances – from moving out of your parents’ house for the first time, or moving in with your partner, upsizing your house to prepare for starting a family, or downsizing when your children have flown the nest.
All of these moving circumstances can be difficult if you don’t have the right people around you, but we can help – no matter what stage of life you’re at. Working with a professional company like Ballards can help you stay on top of your to-do list and make the job as easy and stress-free as possible.
The stages of life and how we can assist
At the earliest stage, we can offer packing and removals for younger people looking to leave the nest of their parents’ house for the first time. Whether you need help moving into university halls or need smaller scale removals as a first-time renter, we can help to eliminate any external fears around what is already a significant milestone in your life.
As for couples looking to move in together for the first time, our team can advise on the best ways to combine two households and deal with any excess belongings, such as duplicated furniture items or maybe belongings of sentimental value that you aren’t quite ready to part ways with yet. This is an exciting time in your life and we want it to be kept that way, rather than the moment of moving in with your partner being drowned out by the chaos of a house move. We carry the stress, while you focus on the important details.
When the time comes to start a family, not only can we help with a move to a bigger, more practical home if needed, but we also assist with short and long term storage solutions. This is ideal if you need to clear up space for children’s toys, or convert your spare room into a nursery, but don’t have the extra storage space at home.
Later on in life, when you are preparing to downsize and enjoy your retirement, we can help make the tough decisions on heirlooms and belongings that won’t be needed on a daily basis, providing storage solutions so that your cherished items remain protected and secure. Or if you’re taking the leap and moving abroad for your retirement, we’re on hand to help with both European and international removals. Our experience means you can leave the painstaking planning to us, allowing you to focus on your new life in the sunshine.
And it’s not just removals and storage that we offer – we can also help with house clearance services which are often needed when dealing with the property of a deceased relative. We understand how difficult it is to say goodbye to a loved one, so you can be assured that we will treat you and your loved one’s belongings with the utmost sensitivity, sincerity and empathy.
Our experienced clearing team can help you pack, store or rehome belongings, giving you the time and space you need. We try to reduce waste wherever possible, so we will always make sure unwanted items are rehomed or reused, but we also hold a waste disposal licence to get rid of anything you decide to part ways with.
A full-service approach
In the case of moving house, we offer flexible options depending on the level of service you require from us. You can either opt for more all-encompassing assistance, where our dedicated team of professionals can help pack, remove, transport and unload your belongings, or a more stripped-back service of simply offering packing materials and advice, depending on your budget and capabilities.
If you don’t have enough room for all your belongings in your new house, or you need a secure location for prized and cherished belongings, our storage facilities are the perfect option. Situated just off the A1 at Markham Moor, our purpose-built warehouse has numerous secure storage spaces that are catered to your needs, from long-term storage to easy access 24-hour self-storage units. Our round-the-clock security and CCTV systems link directly to the police and emergency services, meaning you can rest assured that your belongings are being kept safe and secure by our team and facilities.
And of course, we also offer cleaning and clearance services to make sure your previous home is in mint condition when you leave it. You can either opt for a complete house clearance, disposal of specific items or household waste removals – we’re here to help whatever you need.
