A free Hints and Tips guide to help you prepare, so you have a pleasant hassle free move!

Pack ahead. Anything you can pack ahead will save you time on moving day. Use this as an opportunity to de-clutter your belongings, if you have the time, attend a car boot sale to sell the stuff you don’t use anymore. The money that you make can go towards your removal!

Valuables & Important documents It's a good idea to keep valuables and important
documents with you. Your list of "important" documents might include: birth certificates,
passports, recent bank records, current bills, etc.

Books, CD’s and Records. These are deceptively heavy, so please make use of the
smaller boxes or, alternatively, half fill the larger boxes with lighter items on top and
avoid putting too many items into a box. Clearly label all boxes with their contents and
the room from which they came.

Use your luggage. Luggage and duffle bags are ideal to fill with clothing, sheets,
towels, and paper goods.

Mirrors and Framed Pictures. For protection large mirrors, paintings and other artwork should be wrapped in bubble wrap which can be supplied by us.

Chests of Drawers. These can be left filled with clothes as long as they are not too heavy. Fragile or valuable items should be packed separately and drawers in divan beds should also be emptied.

Clothes Wardrobes. Boxes can be provided on the day for the contents of your wardrobes, but please make sure that all hangers are packed the same way round as this makes re-hanging easier.

Lamp Shades. These should be packed separately into boxes.

Plants. Pack 4 or 5 smaller plants into a box with some packing material between the pots so they won't fall over, seal the box with the flaps up to give extra protection. Leave larger plants for us to deal with. Whilst we will take every care of your plants they are not covered by insurance.

problems with access that have not been communicated to us beforehand you may incur additional charges. If you are moving from or to a city centre apartment please notify the concierge so that they can arrange lift keys and access through barriers where required.

Children. We ask that children are supervised and kept at a safe distance from the van and the crew whilst they are removing heavy items.

Final Checks. Before leaving, make sure everything has been loaded - check all rooms, particularly fitted wardrobes, lofts, airing cupboards, garages and sheds. Only then should you decide to vacate the premises.
