Your Moving Questions Answered
Find helpful tips, expert advice, and answers to common questions to make your move as smooth and stress-free as possible. From packing to logistics, we’re here to guide you every step of the way.
What’s the typical timing and schedule for my move?
If you opt for our packing service, we typically arrive 1-2 days before your move to pack your belongings. On moving day, we’ll arrive early and organise our team and vehicles based on your specific needs.
How should I prepare my Grandfather clock for the move?
Allow your grandfather clock to unwind completely before moving day to protect its delicate mechanisms. If you need help, ask us during your quote, and we’ll guide you on the best way to prepare it.
How do you handle large or fragile items?
For large or fragile items like grand pianos or antiques, we use special protective covers and blankets to ensure they’re safe during transit. Our team is experienced in handling delicate belongings with care.
Should I empty my chest of drawers before the move?
You can leave lightweight items like clothing in your chest of drawers, as long as the drawers are secured. Avoid leaving anything heavy or breakable inside. Not sure? Ask us during your quote, and we’ll advise you!
How should I move my plants?
Avoid watering your plants 1-2 days before your move to reduce mess and make transportation easier. Dry soil is lighter and safer for your plants during transit!
What’s the best way to label my boxes?
Label each box clearly using tape or labels, with the room it belongs to and a brief idea of its contents. This will make unpacking easier and help our team place everything in the right room!
Can I pack myself, or do I need to hire your packing service?
You can choose to pack yourself or let us take care of it. We’re happy to offer quotes for both options, and our experienced packers will ensure your items are packed safely, especially fragile or valuable belongings.
What packing materials and boxes do I need?
When you book with us, we’ll provide all the boxes and packing materials you’ll need. You can start packing at your own pace and arrange for us to collect the materials once you’re done. We also provide wardrobe boxes on the day for your hanging clothes!
What should I have ready for moving day?
Pack an Essentials Box with must-haves like a kettle, mugs, tea, coffee, biscuits, toilet roll, cleaning supplies, phone chargers, and important documents to stay prepared and stress-free.
HOW CAN I PREPARE FOR MY MOVE?
Declutter before your move to save time, space, and stress. Sorting your items into keep, recycle, sell, or donate will help reduce what you need to pack and give you a fresh start in your new home!
