Fill those boxes... Sensibly...
Remember fill your largest boxes with the lightest items and the smaller boxes with heavier items (such as books). This will ensure that your house contents can be moved easily and quickly.
Ensure that all boxes and securely taped and make sure there are no protruding items sticking out. Any fragile or upright items should be marked clearly on the outside of the box too.
Mark up
Don't forget to mark up your boxes in clear writing, usually 1 side and the top will be perfect. Once at your new home it may be worth marking up the doors of each room with a piece of paper (please don't use heavy duty tape and pull off the paint!), A little bit of blue-tac will usually be fine.
DIY
As standard removal companies will not dismantle or erect flat pack furniture unless previously agreed, so please ensure this is taken down before your removal team arrives.
Ensure you keep all smaller items (screws etc.) in a bag and attached it to the pieces to make sure you can put it all back up!
Don't forget we can dismantle and erect furniture with prior agreement; just ask our team well in advance of your move.
Lofts and Attics
Please be aware that removal staff are not legally allowed to enter loft space and all items should be removed from the loft, placed in a room and packed before the arrival of movers.
Electronic Goods
We advise placing all electronic goods in their original boxes before transportation. If this is not possible anti-static packing materials are recommended and available.
I hope some of these tips help, i will provide more in the future so stay tuned.
