Local & Regional (Andalucia) Removals
 

Introduction
We regularly carry out household removals along the Costa del Sol from Sotogrande to Nerja and also throughout the rest of Andalucia(Granada, Jaen, Cadiz, Sevilla, Cordoba, Almeria and Huelva). We only use Spanish registered vehicles with legal transport licenses, modern handling equipment and full-time experienced staff on contract.

Our rates for local and regional moves
Because the circumstances on every move are different we offer our clients two different options:

• All inclusive rate:
  This will be stipulated clearly in the quotation. However long our staff take to complete the removal the price remains the same, unless the circumstances change (lift not working for example). If a packing service is required then all necessary packing materials are included.

• Hourly rate (only available on local moves):
  Typically for 3 men and a removal van with all packing materials charged separately. The client can choose to pack all or some of their belongings before the moving day or can sit back and allow our crew to do everything. Obviously the more packing done by the client, the more time this will save us and this will be reflected in the final invoice. This option is used on last minute moves, very small removals or when it hasn't been possible to carry out a premove survey.

Our moving guide
This informative guide explains all the necessary steps we take to successfully carry out local, regional and national moves.
 
1. Arrive: Once the parking has been sorted our uniformed and trained staff will accompany the customer through every room to make sure they know what is to be moved. If the client cannot be at the address on the moving day we suggest an intermediary be present to supervise. If this isn't possible then the client can supply us with a detailed list.
 
2. Prepare: Any furniture that needs to be disassembled like wardrobes, bed frames and wall units will be reassembled for you at the other end if included in the quotation. We always carry a full set of tools with us for this purpose. Our staff can take down curtains and remove light fittings. If specialist services are required this can also be arranged.
 
3. Pack: Furniture is generally blanket wrapped in the van unless special arrangements have been agreed to in writing. If you've items of high value you may want these to be packed in bubble wrap for extra protection. Boxes packed by our staff will be clearly marked, indicating the contents and room. We can also supply wardrobe cartons for your clothes.
 
4. Load: Once the packing has been done it's time to load the goods onto the removal van. We provide modern handling equipment for this purpose including sack trucks and dollies. Our larger vehicles are equipped with loading ramps to make loading easier. If the removal is from/to an apartment the use of a furniture lift may be worthwhile(this is an optional extra).

5. Stow: To ensure all your goods arrive safely in your new home these must be stowed correctly in the van, placing the heavier items below and the lighter ones above, taking care that everything is well protected with van blankets and securing items to the van rails if necessary to prevent them from moving. Stowing is an important part of the move.
 
6. Drive: Most of our local moves are between Nerja and Sotogrande and typically the collection and delivery points are within two hour's drive. If the removal cannot be completed in a day for whatever reason this isn't a problem, we can pack and load on day one and unload on day two. On local moves travelling time is charged at the normal rate.
 
7. Unload: The unloading process can be made very simple if the removal crew know where to place the items in the new house, this is achieved when the customer is readily available to explain what goes where. A useful system is colour coding the items(i.e. put a red dot on a box of kitchenware and place a red dot on the kitchen door), simple but effective.
 
8. Site: Our staff will site the goods where instructed and all packing debris will be taken away. We can also provide you with a full unpacking service(optional), this includes unpacking all of the cartons and placing the contents where they belong. If you require an electrician or a general handyman we can supply you with reputable contacts.
