Moving Tips

Plan ahead

Give us a call and book your move four weeks ahead to start things running smoothly. We can also arrange storage for you at this point. Start gathering packing supplies such as boxes, tape and newspapers for wrapping.

 

Get packing

Pack non-essential items and clothing first. Remember to label boxes and packages to make unpacking easier later on. Arrange for disconnection of phone, electricity, internet and other services (make sure you give your providers the right date for the move) and set them up at your new place.

It’s also a good time to rope friends and family into helping with the move, packing or looking after children and pets. Start thinking about which items you need us to move, and which you’d like to handle yourself.

 

On the day
Make sure to set aside some essentials to get you through the first few hours in your new home – some snacks, drinks, cleaning materials, a kettle and some tea and coffee. Disconnect all appliances, strip the beds and make sure the house is clean; you can always hire a cleaner to reduce your workload.

Do one final check as we load your boxes. It’s a good idea to stay in the house until the last item is packed. Keep valuables, personal items and important papers with you at all times.

 

 

Insurance

Insurance will be offered as an option and charged separately. Insurance covers for any loss or damage of goods in transit.
