Helpful Tips For Making Your Move Easier
Packing
Weight of boxes
When your packing. Remember if your having trouble lifting it. Then we'll have trouble too.
So, take some out and spread the weight to other boxes. The max weight in any box should be around 10kg.
Sealing boxes
Clearly mark fragile goods
It may sound strange, but one of the most frustrating things for people moving, is sealing boxes.
So Ive made a guide, just for you opposite.
Dont forget to label your boxes. the easiest is with a marker. Sticky labels on boxes come off.
Plastic boxes or crates
Clearly mark fragile goods
Most small items can be packed in sealed boxes or crates. They stack well and are best for dishes or cutlery. Which need to be clearly marked fragile
If your using these for breakable items then you,ll need lots of packing/ bubble wrap.
Electrical goods like sky boxes can be put in sealed boxes or crates.
Clothes
Clothes can be packed in sealed bin bag or boxes.
Other small objects can be put in sealed boxes
Waredrobes &
Chest of draws
When packing, all cupboards , draws and waredrobes will need emptying, before transport.
Draws will be removed as they will fall out while they are carried.
Waredrobes bigger than 2 door have usually been built upstairs. They do not fit round corners, in hallways, at the top of stairways or down stairways due to the size of them. Also their structure is not ment for transport. So they need to be dismantled before being transported.
Dining Tables
Dining tables need their legs removed before transport. They are too
wide to fit through doorways into hallways or out of front doors.
So just take the legs off. Its easier to move through the house and will then fit in any room without a problem. It will then take up less time, and less room in the van
Glass tables need their legs removed before transport. As any knock into the legs will shatter them
Glass and mirrors
