Over the years, the image of the man and van has somehow been really tarnished by various factors.

Follow the instructions in this article to ensure you build the right atmosphere around your house move.

House removals can be very stressful, not only for the person having to move their belongings over to their new address but also for the removal company coming to help move the belongings over.

Both parties have a big part to play to ensure the move is successful. All these steps will make the move much less stressful for everyone including the removal company.

The first that is rather important is to tackle all that is to do with parking. All removal companies will take parking issues very seriously as it could make or break your house move.

When a man and a van get to the moving address, the first thing he gets to notice is the parking distance between the customer's door or building block and the van.

Parking issue has to be addressed when booking your van. You should mention everything you think will be of importance such as the fact that there are additional set of stairs outside the building. In case your door number is on a main road, it would be a good thing to tell the removal services crew as it will enable them to plan their journey accordingly. You could also give the removal company some more detailed information such as door numbers and gate shape as informations you get from GPS are very limited.

You could find yourself with a fine or penalty from a removal company if they realise the wrong amount of people were sent on the job based on the information you provided. Booking a removal company in Essex for your house move is a very safe option in London. You should also try to be considerate when booking for one person only as some man and van could decide to not move your belongings if they feel you have not booked the right manpower.

Try to put yourself in their shoes. Because of the affordable price charged for house moves, the only way a man and van can make ends meet is by conducting about 3 to 4 moves a day. Doing a job that required more manpower does not only makes the person doing it more tired but also does not enables him to carry out other jobs and meet other engagements.

People should separate themselves from the thoughts that booking for a man and a van instead of two will make them save any money.

Basing yourself on the assumption that a job that would normally that a man three hours will only take two men one hour.

Considering the way most man and van in London charge, it will cost customers around £90 for one man but only £80 for two men.

That is a very outcome for both parties as the removal company could get done with the job quickly, keep the customer happy but also organise their day more efficiently.

So how do you know whether to book for one man or more?

The most common thing is the amount of belongings you have in the house or flat. There is only so much one man can carry: moving a studio can be handle without major problem but everything ranging from one bedroom will cause trouble to one man even if there are no furnitures. Most of us move into a new place with very little belongings but manage to amass a whole lot over the years. Furnitures are not the only worry, account for all the bags and boxes that emerge from your house.

Another clue that could give an idea on whether you need a man and van or two is the amount of levels in your property or the floor your flat is located on. Whether there is a lift or not, think of the amount of trips the man and van will have to go through, back and forth to get all your bags and boxes down to the van.

Moving house could be very stressful so it is very important to ensure it is conducted in the most stress free manner. Always bear in mind that you are not always saving money by going for the cheapest option when booking for one man and van only. Most removal companies have instructions on how to arrange for parking restriction at your local, ensure it is done.
