To ensure that your removal and storage process goes as smoothly as possible, we have compiled a list of helpful hints. These tips will help you stay organised, save time, and avoid common pitfalls. Let’s dive in!
Plan Ahead
Start planning your move well in advance to avoid any last-minute stress.
Create a detailed checklist to keep track of all the tasks that need to be completed.
Contact your removal and storage company early to secure your preferred dates.
Declutter and Donate
Before packing, go through your belongings and get rid of items you no longer need.
Consider donating usable items to local charities or organising a car boot sale to lighten your load.
Pack Smart
Use sturdy, labeled boxes to pack your belongings. Clearly mark fragile items.
Keep a separate “essentials” box with items you’ll need immediately upon arrival.
Disassemble large furniture and keep screws and bolts in labeled bags for easy reassembly.
Label Everything
Label each box with the contents and the room it belongs to. This will help during unpacking.
Use color-coded labels for different rooms to make it easier for the movers to know where to place boxes.
Notify Important Parties
Inform your utility providers, banks, insurance companies, and other relevant parties about your move.
Update your address with the Royal Mail to ensure your mail gets forwarded to your new location.
Take Care of Valuables
Keep important documents, jewellery, and valuable items with you during the move.
Consider purchasing appropriate insurance coverage to protect your valuable possessions.
Communicate with Your Movers
Maintain open communication with your removal company throughout the process.
Provide them with any special instructions or considerations for fragile or valuable items.
Arrange Parking
If parking is limited at your new residence, make arrangements with your removal company and local authorities for a parking permit or loading zone.
Utilise Storage Services
If you require temporary storage during your move, consider utilising our secure storage facilities.
Label and organise your items for storage to make retrieval easier when needed.
Stay Calm and Flexible
Moving can be unpredictable, so it’s important to remain flexible and adapt to unexpected situations.
Keep a positive mindset, and remember that the process will eventually come to an end.
