Brentford Square, Victoria8 Short distance movers and packers near you

To become a professional mover, you must hold a CAP (vocational training certificate) for movers on light commercial vehicles. Accessible from the 3rd year of secondary school, this course offers: - Passing of the B licence in the first year; - Preparation for the E(B) licence in the second year; - The use of category 3 handling trucks. To work in a removal company, you must hold a C or E licence. You should know that drivers of heavy vehicles must have undergone compulsory minimum initial training (FIMO). A removal assistant does not need a diploma. They are usually trained on site. However, some training will be provided to new employees. If you want to take on more responsibility, a Bac Pro Transport or Bac Pro Logistics is highly recommended.

Movers do more than just flex their muscles and carry heavy loads. Depending on the contract with the customer, they may be required to manage all aspects of the move, from packing to assembling the furniture in the new home.

At first glance, short distance moving seems easy to do. But there are certain conditions that require the presence of removal professionals to ensure that everything goes smoothly. This is especially the case when you have to move a large volume. Making numerous trips back and forth while transporting objects is often complicated if you are not used to it. Difficult access conditions should also prompt you to hire a removal company. Moving a piano or a sofa through a narrow stairwell is no easy task! Also, difficult access requires the use of a furniture lift, which only a professional can use. There is also furniture that is considered heavy (refrigerator, safe, piano, etc.) or fragile. Moving them yourself could damage them or even injure you. Finally, using a removal service allows you to carry out your project with complete peace of mind. They will take care of your removal project quickly and efficiently.

If you are moving to a flat two floors up, it is of course more advantageous to move alone. But contacting a removal company, even for a short distance or for a small move, is a wise choice. If you have heavy objects such as a piano, or if your furniture does not fit in a lift or stairwell, you will need to use a furniture lift, which requires professional knowledge of moving. The same applies if the volume to be moved is large. The more experienced the movers are, the faster and more efficient they will be, so you will take fewer risks.

To find a removal company, you need to look for competition. This will ensure that you get a cheap move: you can save an average of €300. In addition, you can also compare services and benefits to find a package (economy package, standard package or all-inclusive package) that suits your needs. Use an online comparator such as Mon-demenagement.com, which will save you a long process before you get several removal quotes. Then ask about the seriousness of the company, for example by consulting online reviews or by calling the French Removal Federation. This way you will find a serious and competent removal company with a wide range of prices and services.

A short distance move costs around €1,000. Any move that is less than 100 kilometres from one location to another is considered a "short-haul move", as opposed to a long-haul move covering more than 100 kilometres, and sometimes even an international move. Generally speaking, the elements to consider when drawing up a short distance removal quote are: the volume of the move, the service and the accesses.

When looking for a removal company, it is important to make sure that you are not dealing with scams. To do this, follow these 5 tips: Tip 1: Choose a legal professional removal company. First make sure it is registered in the Transport Register. Certain standards, such as ISO 9001, are also quality assurances. Finally, there are two main unions of movers: the Fédération Française des Porteurs (FFD) and the Chambre Syndicale des Déménageurs (CSD). Choosing a company that is a member will be an advantage! Tip 2: Ask for a free, no-obligation moving quote. Take the time to check and read the General Terms and Conditions of Sale to get an idea of the rules relating to moving. Tip 3: Ask the movers' unions for information. These organisations represent the removal companies. The member removal company must meet all its legal obligations. Tip 4: Check the quality and service commitments. Tip 5: Check online reviews and ask around. Nothing evaluates the quality of a company better than word of mouth! Today, many Internet users use the Internet to evaluate a company's services. Online reviews allow you to find the company that offers the best value for money!
