THE MOVING GUIDE
A little preparation.
A much calmer moving day.
Your practical checklist for getting from packed boxes to settled in.
01 / A FEW WEEKS BEFORE YOUR MOVE
Start with a clear plan
- Make a room-by-room inventory, including items in lofts, sheds and storage.
- Measure large furniture and check doorways, staircases and lifts at both ends.
- Tell your moving team about parking restrictions and building access.
- Keep your date flexible until keys and access are confirmed.
02 / MAKE UNPACKING EASIER
Pack for the other end
- Label each box with its destination room and a short list of contents.
- Keep heavy items in smaller boxes and cushion fragile pieces separately.
- Photograph cable connections and keep furniture fixings in labelled bags.
- Pack a first-night bag with chargers, medicines, toiletries and essential documents.
03 / SMALL CHOICES BEFORE MOVING DAY
Make a little less waste
- Pass on usable furniture and household items you no longer need.
- Reuse sturdy boxes and keep them dry; avoid boxes that are damaged or weak.
- Use suitable towels or blankets to protect non-delicate items where practical.
- Separate waste types and confirm the correct arrangements for anything being cleared.
04 / BEFORE THE VEHICLE ARRIVES
Leave room for a calm moving day
- Keep walkways clear and set aside anything that should travel with you.
- Have keys, contact numbers and access instructions ready for both properties.
- Check every room before leaving and note any items that need particular care.
- At the destination, use your room labels to guide where boxes should go.
