Moving
Les Maîtres Déménageurs Auvergnats offers a top quality and professional removal service
There are four stages to moving home :
- Estimation of the volume of items to be moved and how
- Preparation
- Moving out of your property
- Moving in to your new home
ESTIMATION OF THE VOLUME
OF ITEMS TO BE MOVED AND HOW
A TECHNICAL VISIT OF YOUR HOME
Depending on our possibilities, we can organize a technical visit of your home by one of our removal specialists.
> This visit will enable us to assess first hand the difficulties there may be to access your home.
We will also estimate the volume of items to move and answer all your questions.
A DETAILED INVENTORY
In any event, you will be requested to fill in a detailed inventory and to indicate the value of your possessions and then to return it to us.
> The study of this inventory will enable us to calculate the volume of furniture that you need to move, as well as the technical material and the number of removal team members required for the move.
On the inventory you will also be required to mark down details concerning the access to your home (number of floors, access to a lift, possibility for a large removal van to park in your street, …).
On the inventory you will also list in as much detail as possible all the items of furniture and personal possessions that need to be moved.
In addition, this document will be used by our insurance company as the reference document.
Preparation
So that everything goes as smoothly as possible on the day that you move home, it is essential that everything is prepared very thoroughly. In most cases, it is simply a « standard » removal service that is required.
BOXING AND PACKING
We provide you with all the cardboard boxes and cello tape that you will need and this material can be collected from your removal company premises.
If you live far away from the removal company, we can deliver or ship this material by courier service to your home address.
MOVING OUT OF YOUR PROPERTY
IT’S THE BIG DAY !
It is essential that you are present on the day that you move home. If however you are unable to be present, we ask you to choose someone who can replace you on the day of your move. Please let the removal company know about this.
Your main contact on the day of your move will be with the removal company team manager. It is important that you provide him with all the necessary information and details linked to your move. The team manager will intervene as the specialist and you should let this person deal with everything.
It will be easier for the team to load the removal van if you can take the team manager on a guided tour of your home before beginning loading so that he can get a general idea of the work to be done.
ONCE EVERYTHING HAS BEEN LOADED
Once everything has been loaded in the removal van, we advise that you take a thorough look around your home with the team manager to make sure that you haven’t forgotten anything. You will also be able to check that everything for the move has been done correctly and that you are totally satisfied with the services provided.
PRESENTATION OF THE DOCUMENTS
Once everything has been loaded into the removal van, the team manager will hand you the following documents :
The packing list with the loading copy - Exemplaire chargement> For you to sign and keep.
MOVING IN TO YOUR NEW HOME
When the removal van arrives at your new home, it is up to you to show the team manager where exactly you would like the furniture to be put in the different rooms.
For this we advise you to prepare a plan beforehand as this will be essential if you are not present when the furniture is moved in to your home.
