Here are some tips to help your moving day run smoothly:
- Plan ahead. Book in your removalist and start packing well in advance.
- Declutter if you can – there will be less to move and the charities will thank you for it.
- Empty out your drawers and cupboards, fridge and freezer prior to the move.
- Place heavy items in smaller boxes or spread the heavy items over several boxes.
- Wrap fragile items in towels, bubble wrap or newspaper.
- Have all your items in boxes and labelled on the top and side.
- Disassemble large furniture items such as beds or shelving units.
- Ensure boxes are filled to the brim, the lids are closed and sealed for easy stacking.
- Pack a bag of essentials for the first 1-2 nights at your new home.
- Ensure there is parking or access for a removalist van to speed things up on the day.
