Welcome to Diamond Movers.
We offer man and van hire services to anyone who needs a removals company in Edinburgh, Glasgow or Dundee and their surrounding areas.
Man and Van versus Van Hire
If you've moved home before, then you may have had some experience of DIY removals, or maybe you had a big removals company from the yellow pages. When we started up, these were the two scenarios which scared the life out of people.
The DIY route is definitely the cheapest option for moving house. You hire a van and get on with it basically, but usually what happens is the army of friends who said they would help, suddenly have other commitments on the morning of your move. Then you realise you've got way more stuff than you thought, and you've got no idea how to get the sofa out of the house, and it's taking 15 trips back and forth and divorce is looming. (Sound familiar?)
The other option was that big national removals and relocations company, but they wanted shares in your house, or at least that's what it seemed like when you saw the removals quote.
That's where we thought it was a good idea to offer a removals service in between. A bit more than basic van hire, but not quite the full blown royal treatment.
Single Item Deliveries To 3 Bedroom House Removals
Single item deliveries - If you need a boxed item or a piece of furniture picked up and brought to your house or office.
Mini moves - A few boxes and suitcases moved between your old flat and your new flat.
Single room removal - Moving between halls, or new accommodation in town or across the country.
House and flat removals - We cater for home owners with up to three bedrooms. The biggest van we use is the Luton furniture van. We can fit the contents of most two bedroom properties in there in one trip depending on how heavily furnished your property is.
The Moving Day Plan
Every removal is different, but here's how we usually do it. Most but not all of our movers prefer to pack their own boxes. We will be happy to do it for you, but obviously it costs a good bit more.
We then have the job of removing everything from your old home to your new home. We'll have a starting time agreed in advance, so you'll know when we're coming.
When we arrive, we have a quick tour to see where everything is, and explain what the plan of action is. We lift out all of the boxes and small items first, packing everything securely into the van and strapping it in as we go.
Once that's done, we'll remove all of your furniture piece by piece. We wrap up all of your soft furnishings, so your sofa and armchairs, bed bases and mattresses are all cocooned in polythene and blankets before being positioned carefully in the van and strapped in for the trip. Hard furniture is lifted straight into the van and blanketed then strapped.
Once it's all in, you do a final check before we depart to meet up with you at the new home. Then you tell us where you want each item placed and we carry on until it's all done. It doesn't need to be complicated. It's honest hard work, and it goes smoothly if you're ready on the day.
Top 10 Removals Tips and Checklist
These are just a few tips and pieces of advice where we find movers could make life easier for us all.
1. Get solid confirmation of the moving date.
2. Notify every-one of your moving date and new address.
3. Set up mail redirect.
4. Book phones, broadband, satellite/cable. (Do this well in advance.)
5. Use up the food and freezer contents.
6. Clear out your junk. (No point paying for rubbish to be moved.)
7. Book kennels/cattery. Movers can't have animals running around.
8. Arrange child minder
9. Order boxes and packing materials. Always get more than you think you need.
10. Pack non essential items straight away. This will greatly reduce your stress levels.
Congratulations. If you get all that done, then the week leading up to your move will be filled with excitement instead of stress. You can now pack the everyday items up on moving day and you and your removals company will have a very moving experience.
Removals Insurance
Diamond Movers have removals and public liability insurance through the top removers insurance company in the UK. That means from the moment we enter your house and lift the first box, until the time when we place the last item of furniture into position in your new home, you and your goods are covered against harm. Terms and conditions apply.
