Moving Long Distance: What You Need to Know
Moving locally can be stressful - but moving long distance introduces additional planning and logistics.
Whether you're relocating for work, family, or lifestyle reasons, a long-distance move requires careful organisation.
At Jay's Removals & Storage, we regularly handle moves across the UK. Here's what you need to know.
Plan Well in Advance
Long-distance moves require:
- Early booking
- Accurate property surveys
- Detailed inventory planning
- Travel coordination
Booking early ensures availability, particularly during busy summer months.
Consider Travel Time
Longer distances mean:
- Extended transport time
- Potential overnight stays
- Traffic planning
- Fuel cost considerations
Professional removals companies plan routes carefully to ensure efficient, timely delivery.
Insurance Is Even More Important
The longer your belongings are in transit, the more important insurance becomes.
Always confirm:
- Goods in transit cover
- Insurance limits
- Claims procedures
Jay's Removals & Storage provides clear insurance details for peace of mind.
Secure Packing Is Essential
Items must be packed to withstand longer journeys.
Our team ensures:
- Proper box reinforcement
- Secure loading
- Furniture protection wrapping
- Stable weight distribution
This reduces shifting and prevents damage during transport.
Communication Is Key
Clear communication avoids confusion.
A professional removals company should:
- Confirm delivery times
- Provide contact numbers
- Update you on progress
- Coordinate access at both properties
Long-distance moves require trust - choose a team that communicates clearly.
Moving to a New Area
Relocating long distance often means adapting to a new environment.
Consider:
- Local parking restrictions
- Access limitations
- Lift access in flats
- Rural property access
Professional movers assess these factors before moving day.
