Order your packing supplies
Pack in Advance
Awkward and delicate items such as mirrors, picture frames, Hi-Fi’s, standing lamps, etc. Ensure you bubble wrap them to avoid breakages.
Don’t overload your boxes
Please do not overload your boxes. If they are too heavy for you to lift, then try to redistribute the items between two boxes. This will avoid boxes breaking open.
Bagging items
If you are going to be bagging items (such as clothing and duvets). Please ensure you use top quality refuse bags, so that the bags don’t break open.
Flat Pack furniture and large sofas
Dismantle self-assembled furniture or sofas in advance (unless you are sure it can fit through doorways and stairwells). Remember to put all nuts and bolts in a jiffy bag and preferably tape it to the item it came from.
Fridge and Freezers
Remember to defrost and drain at least 48 hours before the move, appliances must be dry.
Access
It is also a good idea to ensure that all doors, stairs, lifts and hallways are clear of obstructions. This will create a steady flow from the house to the vehicle.
Ensure parking space is reserved according to the local parking regulations.
