When we tell our clients that the movers will come to them, they do not know whether to be happy or scared. Who-who? Movers? Let’s calm down right away that you definitely need to rejoice. After all, movers are not ordinary loaders. “Moving” is a tracing paper from the English word “moving” – moving. Which in turn is formed from the verb “move” – to move. Thus, “mover” is a person who organizes the move, literally – moves all things. “Moving company” – a moving company – a moving service where you can order a turnkey move.
In order to understand the differences between a moving and a regular move, we will tell you in more detail what it is, what moving companies do, and what is the responsibility of a mover. After this article, you will have no questions and doubts that it is the movers that are needed for a quick and high-quality move to a new place of residence.
Why moving is not just a move
There are different situations in life when we need to move. Sometimes it’s summer vacation with my grandmother and for a couple of months you need to take all the necessary things, sometimes it’s a long business trip, and sometimes it’s moving to another country.
Moving differs from moving in that at the same time this word also means a set of services and actions that need to be performed in order to move. That is, these services are provided to a person by professional movers. That is why we are not used to this word: the fact is that, until recently, moving was a personal matter. Someone asked friends to help, someone hired a car and looked for loaders, who, in turn, did not really want to do extra work. But with the growing need, more and more new services appear that make life easier for a person. Just as we can order takeaway meals or cleaning services, we can also order relocation. This means that a whole team will take care of your move, which will solve all the issues for you, packing things, dismantling furniture and everything else.

Moving in the USA and its popularity
Moving appeared in America and is still one of the most popular services there. Since the country consists of many states that are quite far from each other, people who change jobs or move for family reasons needed a comprehensive moving service – in simple terms, so that they could literally move a whole house. There, people constantly move from one district to another, since the infrastructure is distributed approximately the same – people constantly move for work, study, or, for example, change their place of residence after a wedding. This is how companies appeared that are ready to organize a large-scale move with all the furniture and property.
Now the popularity of moving is also very high – as everyone knows, in the USA and Europe, most often there is no furniture and equipment in rented housing. Therefore, if you rent an apartment or, conversely, leave it, then you should take everything with you, including built-in appliances and furniture. To do this, you just need big trucks, a team of strong guys and, most importantly, a comprehensive service where they will help you pack everything and load it.
Moving in the UK
Moving as a service began to appear in our country only in the 90s. And then it was not a clear list of services, but rather a car with loaders who could refuse to disassemble your furniture. The service was not so popular, people did not move too often, and if there was a need, they tried to do it on their own – people could not even afford to even think about buying such a luxurious service for money.
Now the situation has changed: service has appeared in many areas, and moving is no exception. Everything influenced: digitalization – mobile applications for moving have appeared, the growth of infrastructure in large cities – many people move to London to work, but the main thing that has entered our lives is delegation. Compared to the 90s of the last century, the standard of living has increased markedly: now we can afford ready-made food to order, and buying clothes directly at home, and cleaning, and moving. It is more profitable for a person to pay money for the service, and spend the freed time on work, personal affairs or chatting with friends. And now even a small move, for example, to study in another city, people delegate to professionals.
Packing items in boxes before moving
Why do we need moving services
Moving services will help you free up a few weeks of time – which you would have taken up preparing for the move. What you would have to do (but you won’t have to do if you order a turnkey move): look for packaging, buy packaging materials and drag them home, pack all things, disassemble furniture, dismantle appliances, pack large household appliances and load it all into a car. Also, when moving on your own, you need to take into account that the weight of some things is very large and it will be possible to drag many things and furniture only with the help of friends. In no case do not risk your health and do not lift weights alone!
What is the qualitative difference between the movers and the services of ordinary Gazelles with loaders
To answer this question, let’s take an illustrative example. Ordinary loaders are people who are ready to drag the sofa to the Gazelle, but are not ready to pack it. They can drag the refrigerator, but they may not know that it cannot be tilted below 40°. Also, in an ordinary company, you can be provided with a car that does not fit everything you need, will be of the old year of manufacture and can fail at a crucial moment.
We have moving development trends and market potential
In London, moving services will become more and more popular. Companies are changing offices, people are moving to new apartments and buying country houses. The pace of life is gaining frantic pace and if we sometimes do not have time to cook food, then what can we say about preparing for the move! Therefore, moving is a popular and profitable business, which is especially popular in large cities. The more comprehensive and complete the moving service, the better. What exactly is included in the list of services of a moving company – read on.

Try moving – you will like it
If you are planning a move, then it is better to entrust all the worries and its organization to real professional movers who will do everything in a turnkey format. Self-Storage is one of the very first to start offering moving services in London on a turnkey basis – we have been working since 2018 and organize all types of moving: country, home, apartment, office.
What is included in the move
15 types of packaging materials for all kinds of things, furniture and appliances.
Packing: Movers put things into boxes themselves and do it neatly and quickly.
Dismantling furniture.
Furniture packaging.
Packaging and proper transportation of household appliances.
Loading all things into the car.
Transportation.
Unloading things, furniture and household appliances from the car.

Assistance with accommodation in a new place.
It usually takes a month for all these actions when moving on your own – in addition to the day of the move itself, you need to look for packing materials in advance, negotiate with movers, disassemble, sort and pack things. The most difficult thing is, of course, the furniture, which can be very large and heavy. It is definitely better not to deal with transportation of furniture, a refrigerator, a washing machine on your own, but to entrust the transportation to professionals so as not to risk your health and not damage the equipment.
