Most removal companies used would be UK based and very few local removal companies available to help. With the distances involved you may feel completely alone.
There are several worrying issues when moving from France and are you getting value for money?
We are based here in France. We speak both English and French.
Our service is simple but very effective. It takes the strain and the worry out of your move by using a straight forward procedure and we offer various packages to suit your individual move be it a DIY hire van or a professional removal service.
Here is an example of one of our services:
REMOVAL VOLUME AND ACCESS
SURVEY You receive a personal
visit to your French property at a time and date to suit you and we
conduct a volume and access survey. A volume survey is essential
to calculate the size/volume of removal truck or space required and provide the
necessary information upon which to base a professional
removal quotation, or alternatively determining the size of self-hire removal van, and/or a quotation
for storage.
An access survey is required to determine accessibility issues for removal vans and lorries and/or the need for any extra equipment necessary for your move. In addition, if required, we can assess packing needs, end of move cleaning and refuse removal.
REMOVAL QUOTATIONS
(Optional extra to the above) Based on the data from the removal and
access surveys completed at your home we then offer to discuss your
individual needs in full confidence without disclosing your name and
address with up to 5 suitable professional removal companies and
provide you with 3 quotations for you to select from.
Services such as volume and access survey, removal quotations, currency transfer to the UK, removal boxes and removal cartons, packing, porters to assist with your move, storage solutions in the UK, house clean after the removal, collection, removal and disposal of certain surplus items are all offered individually.
Our service is based on a 'shopping list', a pick n mix, of your requirements. You choose which options. For a detailed list please click here List of services or use the Move-Aid Service links on any page.
Move-aid does not conduct removals. Move-aid offers a surrounding service to the mover.
