Moving home can often signify an important life event, and for our recent client, their move from their large family home in Wantage, Oxfordshire to a smaller property closer to family in Chichester, West Sussex, marked the beginning of their retirement. Luckily for them, the Cirencester GB Liners branch were on hand to make this milestone move smooth, stress-free, and ensure a positive start in the next chapter of their life, making use of our comprehensive packing services so they could focus on their excitement for their fresh start.
Full Moving and Packing Services
This particular move required meticulous planning and expert handling, as it involved several unique challenges – including a short notice period. Despite booking the move fairly close to the day, our team were still able to accommodate their move, which took place over a four day period, and provide the same high-quality service and care that we offer to all our clients.
The first step was packing. Our team provided a full packing service, carefully preparing the client’s belongings for safe transit. This included several objects that needed special attention, including a high-value picture from the dining room that required a bespoke wooden crate to transport, a grandfather clock, and fragile glass from glass-topped furniture, which required handling with care. Additionally, we were required to transport an upright piano to the client’s new home, dismantle and reassemble beds, and pack a large number of paintings, including delicate oil pieces.
One challenge of this move was restricted access to the family home. Our team was required to tranship items, which involved using a smaller vehicle to transfer belongings from the home to a larger removal vehicle waiting nearby. Spread over three floors, it was no small task to pack the contents of the collection address, however, this was a task our team handled with speed, efficiency and care.
The Outcome of The Move
As first-time users of GB Liners, our client’s were delighted with the professionalism and care provided by our team throughout the move. We arrived ahead of schedule, despite the short notice, and with no extra adjustments required, the outcome was a success.
On behalf of all at GB Liners, it was a pleasure to support our client’s during this transition to retirement, and we wish them all the best in their new home!
