By The weekend is the most popular time for moving house in the UK. It is the time when you are off work and have a few days to settle into your new place. However, a weekend move can also feel very rushed. Between packing boxes and coordinating with family, the hardest part is always the heavy lifting.
If you are planning to move this weekend, you don’t have to do it alone. Ecorid is here to take the weight off your shoulders. Our professional home moving service is designed to handle the toughest parts of your move so you can enjoy your new home.
In this blog, we will discuss why “heavy lifting” is best left to the pros at Ecorid and how we can make your weekend move a total success.
The Danger of “DIY” Heavy Lifting
Many people try to save money by moving everything themselves. They ask friends for help and try to carry heavy wardrobes or sofas. While this sounds like a good idea, it often leads to problems:
- Risk of Injury: Lifting heavy boxes or furniture without the right technique can cause serious back, neck, or knee injuries.
- Damaged Items: If a heavy table or fridge is dropped, it can break. Worse, it can scratch the walls and floors of your house.
- Stress and Fatigue: By the time you finish loading the van, you are too tired to enjoy your new home.
Ecorid provides a professional man and van service that eliminates these risks. We have the strength and the experience to move anything safely.
Why Ecorid is the Master of Heavy Lifting
When we say “heavy lifting,” we mean everything that is too big or too heavy for one person to carry. Here is how Ecorid handles it:
1. Specialized Equipment
We don’t just use our hands. Ecorid teams come equipped with tools like furniture dollies, heavy-duty straps, and ramps. These tools allow us to move large appliances—like washing machines and American-style fridges—without scratching your floors.
2. Expert Furniture Handling
Our team knows how to navigate narrow stairs and tight corners. Whether it is a large king-size bed or a heavy oak dining table, we know the best angles to move them safely. We also offer basic furniture disassembly if an item is too large to fit through the door.
3. Loading the Van Correctly
The “heavy lifting” doesn’t end at the van door. It is very important to pack the van correctly so that heavy items don’t crush lighter boxes during the drive. Ecorid professionals know how to stack items securely using protective blankets and straps to keep everything in place.
Beyond Moving: A Complete Weekend Solution
A weekend move often uncovers two other big needs: Cleaning and Rubbish Removal. Because Ecorid is a multi-service company, we can handle these at the same time!
Clear the Junk with Ecorid
While you are moving out, you might realize you have an old sofa or broken boxes that you don’t want to take with you. Instead of leaving them behind or making multiple trips to the tip, use Ecorid’s rubbish removal service. We are a licensed waste carrier, so we can take away your unwanted items on the same day.
Leave it Clean with Ecorid
If you are moving out of a rental, you need to leave it spotless to get your deposit back. Our house cleaning service can follow right behind the movers. While the van takes your furniture to the new house, our cleaners can stay behind to ensure the old house is perfectly clean.
Tips for a Successful Weekend Move with Ecorid
To make sure your weekend move with Ecorid goes as fast as possible, follow these simple tips:
- Prepare an “Essentials” Box: Pack a box with things you will need immediately (kettle, tea, snacks, chargers) and have us load it last so it comes out first.
- Clear the Path: Make sure there is a clear path from the house to the van. This makes the heavy lifting much faster and safer.
- Communicate Early: If you have something extra heavy, like a piano or a massive wardrobe, let us know when you book. This helps us bring the right number of people and equipment.
- Parking Space: Try to save a parking spot for our van as close to your door as possible. This reduces the distance we have to carry heavy items.
