But the most important argument for choosing a professional removal company is safety, something Sarah Dockx says is still too often neglected. “Try getting a heavy cabinet down from the fourth floor. You hold one side, and, say, your sixteen-year-old son holds the other. When that cabinet tilts to one side, all that weight comes bearing down on the poor person securing it. You probably get the picture. Our people, however, have experience with this. They all wear safety clothing and safety shoes, they bring cones and barricade tape and so on. We’ve heard about people suffering crushed feet and fractures because they didn’t wear safety shoes, and customers getting their thumb or hand caught between the tailgate lift and the truck. Then there are those who are dead tired after six hours of moving and absent-mindedly drive their removal van into something. When moving home, you always have to keep a cool head. Most people have little or no experience of moving: on average, we only move seven times in a lifetime, too little to become an expert.”
