GENERAL PACKING GUIDELINES WHEN MOVING HOUSE CONTENTS:
- Pack the least used items first
- Do not overload boxes and ensure the lids close flat
- Pack heavy items such as books in smaller boxes
- Label the box with the contents and where they are to go in the new property
- If the contents are fragile mark accordingly on all sides of the box
Packing tips for moving house:
- China and glass – use plenty of paper to pad out, plates should be packed upright with heavy items at the bottom
- Lampshades – remove from lamps and pack in a suitable sized box
- Records – stand upright, use smaller boxes because of the weight
- Books – use the smaller boxes because of the weight
- Electronic goods – use the original boxes if you have them, if not, use suitable sized boxes for smaller items, leave large items for us to deal with on the removal day
- Toys – remember to leave one or two favourites out!
- Customer to strip beds & pack bedding – mattress protectors can remain in place if required
- Clothes and linen can be packed in large boxes
- Clothes in drawers can be left in situ if the drawers are removable
- If wardrobes are available at the new property, clothes already on hangers can be left in place for transfer onto hanging rails within the van and then into the wardrobe at the new property
- We can also supply cardboard Robe Boxes for items on hangers
- Garden equipment – have sheds, playhouses, climbing frames, slides etc. dismantled ready for the moving day
- Wood and tools – e.g. spades, rakes etc. Tie or tape lengths into bundles
- Freestanding ovens/ranges to be fully disconnected
- Fridges and Freezers must be disconnected, emptied, defrosted and drained
- Freezer (upright and small chest) – leave for us to deal with
- Washing Machines and Dishwashers must be disconnected, emptied and drained
- Self-assembly furniture – please note that some self-assembly furniture, particularly if made of chipboard, is inherently fragile. Check with us if they require dismantling prior to the removal day
- Large pictures and mirrors – leave on the walls for us to deal with on the removal day
- Loose Rugs to be rolled up and secured with tape
- Young children and pets – for their own safety it is better for young children and pets to be elsewhere while the loading and unloading takes place
