Move-out 2/3 November, storage until move-in 5 December 2020.
In general, the teams worked hard and completed the work on schedule. DAY-1 of the move out was efficient and not pressured. DAY-2 was more hectic and rushed as they seemed to want to finish shortly after mid-day. Consequently, they did not remove a few items - the downstairs cloakroom was never checked; a draw-full of cutlery was left in the kitchen; plus several oven dishes and trays left in the oven. They also left a large number of sheets of packing paper on the kitchen table. So, it was a poor finish to a job that had otherwise been done well. On 30 November I was finally given a Completion date of 4 December and when I called G A Lomer they said 16 December was their first available date. They do not have the flexibility to change teams to take-on more work, probably because of their limited size, but they were able to offer me a Saturday move if I was willing to pay an additional “overtime” fee. I was happy that they could provide this solution, but I hope that all the additional money I paid went to the workers. The team of 4 worked hard and completed a lot of heavy lifting in about 4 hours. In general, they did a good job, but everything came into the house too rapidly, so I was not able to give directions for many boxes and some items. They unpacked most of the boxes they had packed but not all of them and a few items in wrong places. So, basically, a good team of hard-workers, but it felt a bit hectic and pressurised.
