The benefits of video surveys
As well as the convenience and efficient time-saving aspect of connecting virtually, it’s a great way for us as a company to reduce our carbon footprint. Reducing the use of cars reduces our CO2 emissions. And you can be sure that the service we provide is of the same quality whether via video or face-to-face.

How does it work?
All you need is a fully charged smart phone or tablet with WhatsApp or Facetime installed, along with a good wi-fi connection. We’ll call you up and our experienced video surveyor will have a chat and explain what you need to do. If you have any queries, you can ask them on the call. The surveyor will then ask you to move around your home or office pointing your device at all relevant items and will consult with you as you go. Examples of areas you could be asked to film are:

• External areas: to show the access and parking, along with the contents of the garden, shed and garage which are to be moved.
• Internal areas: to show the contents and furniture in each room (including the attic) which are to be moved.

Both face-to-face and video surveys are part of our free, no obligation quoting service so there’s no charge.

What happens after the survey?
Once the survey has been completed, our surveyor will prepare a written quotation to send over to you.
Quick and easy process
Video surveys can provide the same comprehensive and accurate information as a face-to-face survey and are a great way to speed up the moving process, whether the move is domestic or commercial. Contact us for further details on 0800 211 8030.

Redecoration and renovation
Most new homes need some work, and usually it’s impossible to do this prior to moving. It’s going to be way easier to redecorate or knock down that wall without all your furniture and possessions in the way.

Between moves
To avoid being in a chain, it could be that you decide to sell your house first and then rent before you find your new home. If this is your chosen option, then the house you rent may be smaller or full or part furnished, and so may not have enough room for all your furniture and possessions.

Unforeseen problems
It could be that you’ve sold your home and suddenly the chain falls through at the last minute.

Moving abroad or for work
Your move may be temporary, or you may need to store some furniture and belongings before you find a new property.

Container Storage
Whatever the reason, sometimes the moving process is more complicated than you’d like it to be! So, what do you do with all your possessions? Perry’s temporary container storage is the answer. It’s a really convenient way of storing household goods if you don’t need access to them in between moves.

Note: Many people who consider longer term storage for their belongings opt for self-storage for the benefit of access. Not only is this a more expensive option, but research also shows that most people who pay for this convenience rarely visit their chosen facility, so ask us about how much you can save with container storage.

Once your items have been wrapped and packed at your house, they are loaded into wooden ‘breathable’ storage containers held inside a purpose-built removal van (pantechnicon). The containers are then sealed and transported to our depot where they are stored in our secure warehouse until you are ready to have them delivered to your new home.

Each container is meticulously inventoried before it’s sealed, and your goods can be held for the short or long term. Larger or more awkward items can be held on shelves and racking and insurance can be obtained at the time of booking.
If you need temporary storage, then give us a call on 0800 211 8030.
