Moving house is a daunting task, no one seems to enjoy it as, let’s face it, it’s a lot of work! Once you say the word removals people start to freak out. But you can make life easier for yourself by ensuring you pack all your belongings in an organised and careful manner to make the unpacking part a lot less painful.

If you write on all your boxes what’s inside you will have no worries at the other end when you’re looking for certain items. Imagine if you wanted to unpack the kitchen goods but you couldn’t find them and you kept having to open every single box until you found one with some pots and pans in it? It would take forever and would certainly get on your nerves. So, first things first, label all your boxes.

Secondly, ensure you have packed your items safely, especially breakables. You don’t want to arrrive at your new house with all broken glassware and china. Especially if they were wedding gifts of items that belonged to your grandparents once upon a time. So ensure you use adequate amounts of bubble wrap and cushioning to avoid disaster.

Next, you need to ensure things are packed neatly, not just thrown into random boxes. This will help with organisation and safety of your goods. If things are packed well you be able to find them easily and there is less chance of breakage.

You could even pack some sweaters in with your glassware for extra padding, just make sure you write on the box that you’ve done that or you may find yourself wondering what happened to your glassware, when in fact it was simply covered by your sweaters.

Big Removals first removals packing tip is all about preparation.

Wise Packing

Spend some time to prepare, taking into consideration how you are going to pack your property. Books are straightforward but weighty, valuables need particular care when wrapping and will take time, and certain furniture may need to be dismantled.

Pack a room at a time, labeling each box with details of its contents and where it should be placed in your new home e.g. kitchen, bathroom, garage. It is also an idea to tape a sign in rooms of your new house, with names corresponding to the boxes, so they can be placed directly in these rooms.

Visibly mark “Fragile” on the outer surface of cartons and try to be as accurate as possible. Don’t mark all boxes with fragile but only those which actually have breakable items inside. Be as detailed as you can as it will make unpacking a good deal easier.

Keep the load of your boxes sensible to avoid any back injuries, putting heavy objects in small boxes to make them easier to carry. Place lighter items in bigger boxes.
