Will movers work in the rain?

With the weather not knowing if it wants to bring out the sun, rain or hail and the weather sometimes changing on an hourly basis, it can become stressful not knowing how a moving day will unfold.

Every moving company will operate slightly and will work and stop when the weather reaches a certain condition.

For example Ignite Removals will operate in all conditions even torrential rain but as soon as hail or lightning in close proximity starts then the move is held off until the weather conditions improve.

If your move is scheduled on a day that is predicted to be heavy rain, and you have the ability to reschedule then it is always best. Rain will cause the move to take longer as extra care is needed as surfaces can become slippery.

If there isn’t the option to reschedule then there are some things you could use to get you through the moving day.

Things That Can Assist In Poor Weather

  • Tents
  • Tarps
  • Undercover structures
  • Vans/enclosed utes

When speaking with a moving company, it is always best to ask what fees could be or added to the bill if the worst situation arises. This way you can be fully prepared and not hit with any unexpected fees or charges.

Extra Fees:

  • Cancellation fee
  • Rescheduling fee
  • Extra amount extra protective materials or equipment
