Removals
  1. Confirm date of move with your removal company. If the date changes - which can happen, particularly where a chain is involved - remember to let your removal company know as soon as possible
  2. Clearly label items NOT to be packed. Otherwise you might find them boxed up when you need them.
  3. Purchase packing materials such as boxes and tape from your removal company, if required.
  4. If you’re not using a packing service make sure that everything is packed securely and clearly marked. This will make unpacking at the other end much quicker.
Change of address
Don’t forget to inform all relevant organisations about your change of address. These may include:
  1. Car: DVLA
  2. Utilities: Inform gas, water and electricity companies of your new address and provide final meter readings
  3. Financial: Banks, building societies, credit card/store card companies, premium bonds, share companies, pensions/insurance policies
  4. Benefit agencies: DSS, Child Benefits, Pensions
Burglar alarm
  1. Leave instructions for new owners
  2. Ensure owners of your new home leave operating instructions of the alarm for you
Cleaning
  1. Arrange to have any carpets cleaned
  2. Check cupboards and draws are empty
  3. Arrange for cleaning company to do a final clean
Documents
  1. Assemble all documents that you will need during and shortly after the move
  2. Make sure to have passports and driving license in your possession
  3. It’s always helpful - and appreciated - to leave a folder of relevant documents behind for new home owners, such as warranties for white goods you are leaving, operating instructions etc.
Pets
  1. Arrange with family and friends or a local kennels or cattery to look after your pets on removal day to avoid causing them any stress
  2. Purchase pet carries if required
Post
Inform Royal Mail you are moving and set up re-direction of post to new address
Internet
Advise your internet or broadband company of your change of address. Will you need to install broadband in your new home and is broadband with your existing company available in your new home?

Collected family items that had been stored for over 10 years by Lyons. Staff could not have been more helpful. They moved items and crate from the rear of the store in preparation for my visit. My husband and I were planning to load our van by ourselves but staff set to and loaded for us which was such a relief and a lovely surprise. This meant that after the long drive from Devon we were on our way again so much quicker than expected. Thank you so much.

I can't say enough about how pleased i am with the level of service. From initial enquiries with Liz she was great and couldn't do enough to help giving me the confidence to choose Lyons. Then the team turned up bang on time this morning, they were professional, polite and extremely helpful and diligent with the removal. If you are looking at moving and don't want any stress, use these guys, you won't regret it.

Our experience with Lyons removals and storage was a very positive one. They came to our rescue at the last minute when our house move became urgent and we needed to store our possessions in two different locations and then later move again to our new house. Right from the start, when we contacted Liz in the office everyone was very responsive, professional, polite and had very pleasant manners throughout our dealing with them, to the eventual successful completion of the job. We have no hesitation in recommending Lyons Removals and we have done so to several friends who are planning to move. Special thank you to Liz for her expert and calm advice which helped to lessen the inevitable stress of moving house.

Fantastic service from everyone at Lyons Removals, excellent communication right from the start, competitive price and everyone worked so well to deliver exactly what we needed to make our move from Warrington to Cornwall as stress free as possible. We would throughly recommend Lyons Removals and would have no hesitation in using them again. Thanks so much xx Tony & Val Wood

Fantastic service from start to finish. Liz was so helpful, friendly and approachable accommodating our needs at short notice, moved mountains and earth for us. Richard and the lads were so attentive with removal and delivery and worked so hard at both ends of the move. Would so highly recommend this company to anyone. Thank you.
