Moving Advice

  • 1

    Dismantle beds (and/or any other furniture you can)

  • 2

    Place packed cartons in one room away from furniture (preferably near the front of the house)

  • 3

    Don’t defrost fridge for local moves, keep it running until we are ready to move to avoid any leaks

  • 4

    You can leave clothes in drawers, but NOT breakables. Do not load up drawers with extra clothing

  • 5

    We suggest that you move any delicate, valuable or extremely fragile smaller items yourself and do not leave such items in drawers etc. as they can be inverted in the loading process, causing items to fall out

  • 6

    Ensure that the area that the truck will be using to load and unload is clear. Your time starts from when the vehicle arrives in front of your house so you don't want to waste it moving the car

  • 7

    Trim trees to enable easy passage for our staff and vehicle. Our staff are instructed not to force the vehicle through trees etc., as this will damage the vehicle

  • 8

    Moving house can be quite boring and stressful for children. Consider arranging for them to stay with a relative/friend during the move

  • 9

    You are welcome to provide your own workers to help us load and unload, at their own risk. Please be aware however that our insurance only covers damage caused by our staff

  • 10

    Please do not water your potted plants for two days prior to the move

  • 11

    If you live in a block of flats or apartments, please let the other residents know you're moving and what time the truck is expected, so that they can move their vehicles. This can save a lot of time as we don't have to move our vehicle several times during the job
