Can rain prevent your moving day from going ahead?

Everyone wants their home day to be sunny and dry. However, it rains in Liverpool around 190 days per year, so if you are moving to this region, be prepared for rain.

A reliable Liverpool removal service will have plans for rainy days so that your belongings arrive at the new home dry and secure. They may wear protective clothing that keeps them warm and dry on stormy days.

Furniture, mattresses and electrical appliances should be carefully packed in protective covers so that they are not water damaged. You can ask us to pack for you to make sure everything is kept dry.

If there is a heavy downpour, loading or unloading the removal van can be paused until the rain has stopped or is lighter. Be prepared for moving to take a little longer if heavy rain is forecast, but it shouldn’t prevent the move from going ahead.

If you are moving on a rainy day, trim overgrown hedges and make sure there are clear pathways to minimise water and mud. Bring extra towels and blankets to wipe down damp items. Be sure to take a flask of tea or coffee so that everyone can have a warm drink, and bring some dry shoes with you to change into at the new home.

Check the weather forecasts and if there are severe weather warnings, you may want to talk to the removals service about delaying the move until the storm has passed.

A bit of rain does not have to spoil moving day as long as you are prepared for it. For year-round removals, speak to our team at Merseyside Movers today.
