What to Expect on Moving Day: A Step-by-Step Guide

Read our 8 step guide on how to make moving day a smoother experience.

When moving day rolls around it can be a very stressful day, but it doesn't have to be. Here are our top 8 tips on how to make it a smoother experience for everyone:

1. Early Start

Have breakfast and be ready for the movers to arrive at the arranged time.

2. Final Checks

Ensure everything is packed and boxes are properly labeled.

3. Meet the Removal Team

Walk them through your home and point out fragile items.

4. Supervise Loading

Oversee the loading process to ensure items are handled carefully. We here at Johnson’s Removals encourage you to ask questions and be involved in what we are doing, your satisfaction in our work is important!

5. Keep Essentials Separate

Have a bag with documents, chargers, and essential items. KEEP THE KETTLE OUT haha!

6. Final Walkthrough

Do a last check before leaving your old home. Ensure nothing is left behind that you need to bring with you!

7. Unloading at Your New Home

Direct movers to place boxes in the correct rooms. We prefer to know that your move is going smoothly than you be too shy to tell us what needs to go where!

8. Unpack Essentials First

Set up important items like bedding and toiletries first. And have you really just moved house if you don’t order a takeaway on the first night?
