Whether you’re moving down the street or across the country, there are some things that every homeowner should know about home removals. If you’re looking for professional assistance, consider our home removals service to ensure a smooth and efficient move. Here are 10 moving house tips for a stress-free removal!
What Our Customers Are Saying
1. Give Yourself Plenty of Time to Pack and Plan
It is important to give yourself plenty of time for packing and planning before your removal day. For professional packing help, our packing and moving service can ensure that everything is packed securely and ready for transport.
This will help with the stress that typically comes along with moving, rather than being rushed at the last minute when everything has been completed haphazardly or not packed well enough in advance as some people might do just so there’s enough time left on their original deadline date without having committed themselves fully into finishing up all necessary tasks associated within getting ready physically, mentally, and emotionally
2. Make a List of What Needs to be Done on Moving Day – This Includes Organising Utilities and Broadband etc.
The moving day should be a fun and stress-free experience for all of those involved. Think about what will need to happen before, during, or after the actual move itself so that it goes off without any hiccups!
A list is essential when preparing your home for packing and moving in order not to leave anything out on this very important occasion — don’t forget the changing of utilities like electricity and gas as well broadband internet access. This will avoid any last minute headaches that could have been prevented with just a little bit of foresight!
3. Make a Plan For Children and Pets – Who Will Care For Them While You’re Gone and Where They’ll Stay?
When you’re preparing to move, make sure that children and pets in your life are taken care of.
Ask family members or friends if they’ll be able to handle looking after these loved ones on moving day so there aren’t any snags at the last minute!
4. Pack a Bag With All The Essentials You Need For a Few Days.
One of the most important things to do when moving home is packing your bag with all your essentials.
You’ll need clothes that include a few outfits for different weather conditions such as rain or sunshine but also be sure not forget accessories like toiletries and other small items which can make life easier on yourself while away from home.
5. Get Some Help – Friends, Family Members and Professional Movers Are Always Good Options.
Look for people who can help out with the heavy lifting- friends, family members and professional movers are always good options.
A friend or relative might be able to lend a hand when it comes time for packing up your belongings; while hiring an experienced moving company will ensure that every detail has been thought through from start (planning) all the way through wrapping everything in blankets before loading onto removal vans.
6. Get Rid of Clutter Around The House, Including Old Clothes, Shoes, and Books.
It’s easy to forget how much clutter you have when things are clean and orderly.
Take some time before your home removal day to get rid of old clothes, shoes (or any other clothing that may be cluttering up your space), and books so there isn’t anything in the way for the removal team during this process! If you need help clearing out your home, our house clearance services can make the process easier and stress-free.
7. Sort Items Into Piles – Keep, Give Away, Sell, Trash.
Organize your home before you move in order to make the process as easy and efficient for yourself.
Make sure that all of those items are organized into piles: Keep, Give Away, Sell ,Trash. This will help reduce the amount of items you need moving and create less work when you come to unpack.
8. Label Boxes With Both The Room They Belong in as Well as Their Contents
When packing for your removal, label boxes with both the room they belong in as well as their contents.
This will make it easier to find later on and avoid any confusion about which box goes where when you get unpacked!
9. Make Sure You Have Enough Boxes and Packing Materials.
Packing for your home removal should start with the basics – enough boxes and packing materials. It’s a good idea to go into each room an estimate how many boxes are required for each room.
You do not want to keep running out of boxes and making numerous trips to get more packing materials. It’s better to have more than not enough. Did you know once you have completed your move if you do not want your boxes anymore you can re-sell them on eBay or Facebook marketplace. People are always looking to buy removal boxes.
10. Pack Clothes Into Suitcases or Plastic Containers so They’re Easy to Carry Around.
We always recommend to pack clothes into suitcases or plastic containers as oppose to getting wardrobe boxes. Wardrobe boxes take up a lot of space and are expensive.
Suitcases and plastic containers do the same job and clothes can be folded up and will not get damaged or creased.
