By Expert Removals – We lift more than boxes. We lift burdens.
“I was just moving house… and then I blacked out in the bubble wrap aisle.”
Sound familiar? If you’re Googling movers and packers Dublin while slowly rocking in the corner surrounded by half-taped boxes and suspiciously missing your kettle – then breathe. You’re not alone, you’re not broken, and no, you haven’t lost your mind. You’re just moving.
And moving, as it turns out, is the third most stressful life event after death and divorce. (And honestly, we’re not convinced it’s not in first place.)
Why Is Moving So Emotionally Draining?
Because it’s not just about stuff. It’s about leaving memories, changing routines, saying goodbye to neighbours who knew your name (or your Wi-Fi password), and staring blankly at 47 charger cables you can’t identify anymore.
It’s an emotional rollercoaster trapped in a cardboard box.
- 65% of people say moving affects their mental health.
- 62% of Irish movers admit they underestimated how hard it would be.
- And 84% wish they’d hired professional help sooner.
Moving is a cocktail of nostalgia, chaos, and sudden urges to alphabetise your spice rack. That’s why we, at Expert Removals, don’t just move homes – we move people through their stress into a new start.
Once Upon a Move… A True (and Mildly Tragic) Story
Meet Dave. Nice bloke. Works in IT. One-bedroom apartment in Rathmines. Thought he’d save money by doing the move himself. Rented a van, bought packing tape, watched two YouTube videos, and thought, “How hard can it be?”
Five hours later, his fridge was wedged in a stairwell, he’d popped his shoulder trying to lift a sofa solo, and a drawer full of his partner’s mugs had mysteriously “shifted in transit.”
Dave then did what most sensible people do when faced with defeat: he called his mammy… and then called Expert Removals.
The “Aha!” Moment: You Don’t Have to Do This Alone
Here’s the twist: Dave’s story isn’t rare. In fact, 72% of people who DIY their move say they wouldn’t do it again. The internet may sell “hacks” and “tips,” but guess what? There’s no life hack for lifting a piano down three flights of stairs.
Our realisation (and business model) was born out of this simple truth:
You don’t need a van. You need a van with people who know what they’re doing.
That’s where we come in – Expert Removals. Not just movers. Not just packers. We’re a shoulder to cry on when your box of “miscellaneous cords” collapses. We’re calm in the chaos. We’re Dublin’s seasoned moving therapists – with trolleys.
