It’s been an eventful few months for Mardan and we recently joined the BAR​. No cause for concern – this doesn’t mean the whole team has been decamping to the local and sampling the Bath ales!

BAR stands for the ‘British Association of Removers’ – an organisation that for over 100 years has dedicated itself to promoting professional excellence in the removals Industry – and we are delighted to be a part of such a prestigious body. Joining the BAR was the natural progression for Mardan, providing customers with reassurance that the service we provide is inspected and standards are rigorously maintained.

As you would expect, BAR is at the forefront of developing and maintaining professional standards and services for the benefit of its members and their customers. Whether you are moving in the UK, to Europe or Overseas, choosing a BAR Member will ensure your move goes smoothly, having the peace of mind that comes from using a reputable, professional and safe remover.

The BAR philosophy is closely aligned to those of Mardan, as we are dedicated to providing our customers with the ultimate moving experience.

Home movers are protected by the BAR, offering the UK public access to quality assured, professional removal companies and giving them the peace of mind that comes from using a reputable, professional and safe remover, and in the unlikely event that something goes wrong, you’ve got someone to turn to.

Its members employ highly trained staff who will help you plan and execute your move, provide full packing services, handle specialist items of furniture, and even store your goods in purpose built facilities, if required.

Mardan is clearly focused on providing the ultimate moving experiences for the home and for businesses and our membership of the BAR underlines our ongoing commitment to excellence for our customers.

​If you are moving house over the Christmas and New year holidays it pays to be prepared. A surprisingly high amount of people do choose to move at this time of year due to extended holiday periods and there are things you can bear in mind in order to make the experience a smooth one.
 
Bad weather is highly likely. You may be lucky on the day but it’s best to plan for wind, rain, sleet or maybe even snow. So keep some grit to hand to make sure your paths, driveway and steps are protected against ice. We always provide floor and furniture protection for our customers, but do bear in mind that not all removal companies allow for this and hang on to any old newspapers to cut down muddy footprints and slipping inside. Make sure you don’t pack warm and waterproof clothes away as you may very well need them.​ Keep them to hand.
​One side effect of winter moving is the early onset of darkness in the afternoons. If you can, make sure that you are settled in your new home before night draws in and if this isn’t possible, then do make sure the lighting in the new house is all in working order. Take some spare light bulbs with you just in case. ​Crashing about in the dark is no fun on moving day.
Mardan Bath Christmas Holiday Removals 
Keep warm. If you can get information in advance from the agents/previous owner about the heating system, then do it. Fiddling about with unfamiliar controls whilst freezing is a stressful business. Cold fingers don’t do well with manuals on boilers and thermostats. It won’t be much fun to be cold on your first night in your new home.
 
Local shop opening times over the Christmas holidays should be noted in advance. You’re bound to need some essentials during and after the move.
 
Try and find a warm and safe home for your children and/or pets to stay whilst you get the worst of the move out of the way. People are often very optimistic about how their little loved ones will cope during a move, which is pretty stressful for adults – so will definitely unsettle your children and furry friends. Far better for them to come to the new home once some semblance of order has been found.
 
​And finally, don’t forget to keep the sherry and mince pies in a separate box for when you finally put your feet up.

 

The thing that often worries our prospective customers the most about a house or office move is how their larger objects will fare in the process. They feel concerned that the removal company won’t be up to the job and that on the day, promises about being adept at handling these huge items will be well and truly broken.

We pride ourselves on being problem solvers, as well as an excellent removal company. Our packers have been doing this for years and they know their stuff. There are no objects, big or small, that we cannot deal with. One of our vehicle’s tail lifts will lift 4 tonnes.

We have moved boats, hot tubs, a 27ft long table – the top of which weighed ¾ tonne – shipping containers, motorbikes, machinery, chandeliers, stoves, large and heavy statues…and on one occasion we even moved a horse! The list is endless. The photo on the left below shows us moving heavy boxes of floodlights, which isn’t the first thing that springs to mind when you think of the items usually on a removal company’s list. On the right is a Mercedes getting the Mardan treatment – is one of the many cars we’ve transported over the years. We often get asked to take care of people’s prized classic car collections and transport them during the moving process.

Mardan works closely with a number of hotels in Bath. One memorable job was the need to move an industrial oven into the Abbey Hotel. This was an exciting project, which necessitated the hire of a crane company to assist the move into the basement of the hotel. We now regularly use this company, most recently to move several hot tubs.

Even the Georgian town houses of Bath don’t phase us. We can negotiate most items (many being grand pianos) down narrow stairways, corners and banisters. We love a challenge.

So call us if you have been agonising over moving any tricky and/or large objects and your problem will be solved. We will endeavour to do this with care and professionalism. We’ll tell you exactly how we plan to move your treasured possessions so there are no surprises on the day. And we’d be happy to provide references from other happy customers to put your mind completely at rest.
