Start with the right materials
Use sturdy boxes, suitable tape and protective wrapping. Keep heavy items in smaller boxes and do not overload them. Ask your provider about packing services or reusable crates.
Pack one room at a time
Label the top and side of each box with its destination room. Wrap fragile items separately and fill gaps so contents do not move. Keep furniture fixings in labelled bags.
Keep essentials with you
Carry medication, identity documents, keys, valuables, chargers and anything you will need on the first night yourself. Back up important electronic files before moving equipment.
Prepare awkward items
Check appliance instructions and discuss large items with your provider in advance. Never pack hazardous or prohibited materials without confirming what can be transported. Keep access routes clear on moving day.
