We can help your move on the day go smoothly but below are some tips to help.
MAKE A LIST
Make a list of what you have to do, work through it at your pace. Make sure you start packing and getting organised at least four weeks before moving day. Make a list of priority jobs for example, clearing out the attic and disposing of items you no longer use.
LABEL BOXES
It sounds obvious but so many people forget. Put the labels on more than one side so you can see what’s what when they are piled high.
​
If you’re really organised, make an inventory of what is in each box, especially if some items are going into storage.
CREATE A 'ROOM PLAN' FOR YOUR NEW HOME
Draw up a sketch of where furniture will be placed in each room.
​
You can always move it again but it saves time deliberating on the day. Label furniture according to your room plan. Print out and hand out copies of your room plan to the removers.
PACK AN 'ESSENTIALS' BOX
Pack the kettle, tea, coffee and milk last, so you can unpack these first. You will deserve a cuppa by the time the boxes are in!
​
Keep remote controls, phones, phone chargers and any other essential items you are likely to lose in the same ‘bits box’ so you know for sure where they are.
Keep real valuables and important papers separately somewhere safe.
