While moving can be stressful for you, consider how your pets must feel when they have no idea of what is happening to them. This is particularly true for fish and birds, that can’t take comfort from sitting on your lap and being petted. Even the tamest bird that sits on your shoulder at home will fly away if you step outside with them; more so if there are noisy trucks and people trundling in and out of the home carrying furniture. So here are some tips for moving with fish and/or birds. Read More
If you run or manage a business, you probably already know how damaging downtime can be to your daily operations and income. It’s therefore essential to minimize downtime as much as possible when moving to a new location. The best way to do this is by using a professional removals company who specialises in business relocations.
Although there are plenty of options to consider, our team at Brilliance Removals has you covered. In the rest of this article, we’ve outlined a few strategies that you could consider to minimize downtime when moving your business.
Move on a Weekend if Possible
If it’s possible, we always recommend moving your business on a weekend - especially if you usually work Monday through Friday. Moving on the weekend will reduce the impact on your daily operations.
Fortunately, our team at Brilliance Removals is willing to work weekends for your convenience. Working alongside our removals manager you can develop a clear plan to move your business fast and efficiently.
Prioritise IT and Other Essential Equipment
At the same time, it can be difficult to move an entire business in the space of one weekend, especially if your business is larger than average. Because of this, it’s important to prioritise the essentials, including IT equipment and everything else you need for everyday operations. Read More
Moving is an exciting time, if somewhat stressful. Anyone who has moved will tell you that it takes a lot of time to pack up the house and organise the move. There are a myriad of details to attend to, from notifying everyone of your new address to ensuring the utilities are switched off when you go – and switched on at your new home when you arrive. Being pregnant adds even more challenge into the mix.
You might be wondering whether it is better to move before the baby is born or afterwards. Other mothers will tell you it’s easier to move without a new little person to care for, even if you don’t feel all that well during the pregnancy. Caring for a baby takes up a lot of time and energy and you’ll lose a lot of sleep in the first several weeks, making you feel like a zombie unless you have lots of help. Read More
After months of weeks of organisation the day for your big move finally dawns and the removalists truck is heading down the street to your gate. You’d be delighted except for one thing. The rain is belting down with evil intensity, bent on destroying your well-laid plans for getting all your worldly goods onto – or off - the truck in good time. So what do you do?
Calling the whole thing off and going back to bed is not an option, even though it sounds like a sensible plan. What you have to do is work out a way to protect your precious stuff from the rain while its being loaded or unloaded. Of course, if your home has a covered outdoor area with a high roof joined to the house, the truck can park under that while it’s being loaded. Most people are not so lucky. Some may not even have a cement path for the removalists to walk on. Why does this matter? They have boots, right? Read More
Many people get a great deal of joy from their soft and cuddly cat and since they don’t have to be taken for walks they are ideal pets for people who find walking difficult. But when you have to move house, it is important to ensure your moggie survives the move without any trauma – or at least, not too much.
While cats and dogs love their people it is in their nature to bond to their environment as well. Cats will often return to an old address months after they moved, unless you take care to ensure they bond to the new one. It is not always enough just to keep them inside the house for a day or two.
Most cat-owners know that their pet will disappear under the bed or to some other private place when they have visitors, especially if those visitors are strangers. They don’t like people rushing around making loud noises unless they’ve grown up in such an environment. What does all this mean for you when you are moving?
For a start, your cat will be likely to run and hide when the moving truck arrives, so you’ll need to pop him into pet carrier before that happens. Read More
