MOVING TIPS

Moving is the perfect time to look around and see what you do not use or do not need. You can donate everything that is in a usable condition and just throw the rest away.

If you decide to pack on your own give yourself enough time by packing early. A couple of boxes after work leading up to the move will save you panicking nearer the time! Start by packing items you do not need that often and leave the everyday accessories at the end.

Use small boxes for your books, CDs, DVDs or files. Filling up a big box would just make it hard to lift. To save money on boxes asks in your local supermarket if they will be happy to give you some.

 When packing fragile items use sturdy boxes.  Again, do not make them too heavy because they will have to stay on top of something when loaded in the lorry. Wrap every fragile item individually in packing paper, newspaper or bubble wrap. Make sure nothing in the box shakes and fill up the empty spaces. For your breakables, we suggest buying the boxes from a removal company. Every professional removal company must be able to provide you with quality boxes and packing supplies.

 Personal and sentimental values items such as jewellery, watches, precious stones, money, and important paper should be your possession at all time.
