The Ultimate Guide to Packing for a Stress-Free Move

Read our advice on how to make your next house move a stress-free one.

1. Start Early

Begin packing at least a month before moving day. The last thing you want is for a removal company to be booked and have nothing to move or have to come out on multiple occasions!

2. Declutter First

Sort and get rid of unwanted items before packing. We tend to say if you haven't seen it or used it in the last 6 months 9 times out of 10 you can get rid! However please don't dispose of anything sentimental just because you think you need too!

3. Gather Quality Packing Supplies

Use sturdy boxes and protective materials. If you aren't too fussed about how much you are spending getting the best packing materials is always recommended!

4. Pack Room by Room

Stay organised by focusing on one area at a time. Its a good method of controlling the chaos that is moving home!

5. Label Everything Clearly

Use detailed labels for easy unpacking.

6. Use Protective Wrapping for Fragile Items

Wrap delicate items carefully. We use specific covers to wrap larger items such as sofas, tvs etc etc however your glasses, plates and mugs etc are difficult for us to wrap unless we are doing the packing for you!

7. Pack an Essentials Box

Include must-have items for your first night.

8. Seal Boxes Securely

Tape all boxes well to prevent damage. Please do not cheap out on buying good tape and using it! The last thing we want is to pick a box up and the bottom fall out on us!
