Award for Yes Removals
Yes Removals are proud to have recently received a certificate of outstanding contribution from Green life UK. The award is for making a real difference in one of the poorest countries in the world and was presented to us as a result of our ongoing donations towards the development of a primary healthcare project in Malawi ‘the warm heart of Africa.Did you know that it is possible to get help with the cost of your removal and also storage charges if you need to move home and your local authority are unable to move you?
Help with moving costs for people on a low income.
To be eligible you must be already getting Income Support, income-related Employment and Support Allowance, income-based Jobseeker's Allowance, Pension Credit, or payment on account of one of these benefits or if you are likely to start getting one of these benefits within the next six weeks because you're moving out of care.
The benefit is called a community care grant and doesn’t have to be paid back. Visit the Directgov website to see if you are eligible.
Help towards the cost of a removal for people with disabilities
If you've applied for a Disabled Facilities Grant to make adaptations to your current home, and your local social services department has decided that your home is not suitable for adaptation, your local council may offer a relocation grant to help towards the cost of moving house. Not all councils offer relocation grants. They may set their own individual maximum grant amounts and rules about who is eligible and whether you can use the grant to move out of the borough. It is best to speak to someone from social services before planning a move.
Beware of Removal Scams! In today's credit crunch environment making sure you hire the right removal company is more crucial than ever. Whether you are moving house, moving flat or re-locating office make sure you look out for the warning signs!
The Hostage Scam
- Does the removal company ask you any details about your move before giving you a price? Be wary of any company that gives you a quote without asking any questions.The way removals are priced is based on unseen things only you the customer has the answer to; what floor are you on?, how much stuff are you moving?, how far are you moving?, what is access like? – all these factors add up to let us know how much time, effort and manpower any given job will involve. Any company that gives you a quote without finding these things out first will likely give you a low quote and then argue for double or triple the money once they have your precious pieces of furniture safely locked inside their vehicle. Some companies even have the audacity to drive off and not return until you call and pay the extra money they want to extort from you!
At Yes Removals we like to gain as much information about your move beforehand as possible so that we can give you a fair quote that - most importantly, is agreed upon by yourself prior to your move. This way you know exactly what you will pay and what kind of service you will expect to receive. We can plan the move thoroughly and you will have an accurate timescale to work around.
Grandad and Van
– Not so much a scam as a get what you pay for situation. You think you are hiring a professional removal company, you get a white van man who moonlights as a man and van at the weekend.Whenever you book a removal the company should tell you as standard procedure what size vehicle you will require and how many porters will attend to carry out your move. If they don't - then ask! There's nothing worse than watching a tatty, paint pot filled transit van turn up outside your pristine 3 bedroom house. One doddery old guy gets out and you envisage the next 10 hours of sheer horror as he attempts to drag things into the back of his already junk filled van, making trip after agonising trip until you begin to wish you had never decided to move home in the first place!
Yes Removals is an established full service removal company, our staff are full time, trained, professional removal porters. When we assess your requirements we send the right size vehicle and the right size removal team to carry out your move as seamlessly as possible.
The non-existant Removal Company
Beware of any mover that demands a huge deposit up front.Whilst a small deposit is nothing to be alarmed about, never give a very large cash deposit to a removal company that operates from a mobile telephone number. This is a well known scam whereby your deposit is taken and when the day arrives the removal company doesn’t turn up and the telephone number they have given you is no longer in service. Or even worse someone turns up in a self-hire or unmarked van, removes your goods and is never seen again – Scary! A few simple checks can eliminate the possibility of this ever happening to you. Yes Removals runs from an office and our office address is clearly stated on our website along with our landline telephone number. We prefer card payments, this gives you added protection and peace of mind. We have high profile account customers who use our services regularly. We move high value artwork and fragile exhibits for Saatchi and Saatchi and The Science Museum to name a few of our valued customers.
Environment
Yes Removals is delighted to have been accepted as a Green Achiever Business. This prestigious title was given to us in recognition of our efforts to reduce our carbon footprint.We have made significant progress in shortening the amount of time our vehicles spend on the road by fitting all of our vehicles with Satellite Navigation Systems and careful planning of our journeys in advance. This means that we no longer have vehicles criss-crossing London unnecessarily. All of our boxes are recyclable and we run a paperless office where possible. This means less waste of resources and less hassle for you - the customer, as all paperwork is completed easily and quickly online.
Where possible we pass unwanted items of usable furniture on to charities that provide people on low incomes with an affordable way to furnish their homes. Any furniture not fit for reuse is recycled.
