Moving doesn’t have to be stressful. Here are some tips to help your moving run smoothly:
Plan ahead. Once your moving day has been set, book in your removalists and start packing.
Declutter before you move. Donating things that you no longer need will be a blessing for others. There will also be less to move and more storage space in your new house.
Start by packing the least used rooms/items. The spare bedroom and garage are usually the easiest place to start.
Categorise heavy, smaller and fragile items within the household. Pack them in separate boxes and have them clearly labelled. Labelling comes in very handy as it reduces confusion when you are unpacking.
Make full use of bubble wraps, newspapers, and towels by wrapping them around fragile items before boxing them.
Empty all drawers, cupboards, wardrobe and refrigerator to save time during moving day.
If possible, dismantle any large furniture, such as beds and shelving units. Our removalists are also more than happy to assist with dismantling (and assembling) on the day of moving with no extra charge.
Pack a bag of essentials such as medicine, toiletries, change of clothes, and phone chargers for the next day or two at your new home.
If possible, please ensure your driveway and entrance are clear for access so our removalists can park the truck close to your front door. Not only will the removalists be able to help you move efficiently, but they will also help you save costs as good access will always help to speed things up.
