📦 Moving House? Here’s How to Pack Smart & Be Ready for Removal Day! 🚚
Tips from ANDY VAN MAN REMOVALS
A smooth move starts with good preparation. Whether you’re moving a flat or a full house, these handy packing tips will save you time, money, and stress on removal day.
✅ Start Early
Don’t leave packing until the last minute. Begin with items you don’t use every day (seasonal clothes, books, decorations) and work your way forward.
📦 Use the Right Boxes
Use strong, good-quality boxes
Small boxes for heavy items (books, tools)
Larger boxes for lighter items (bedding, pillows)
Don’t overfill — boxes should be easy to lift
🏷️ Label Everything
Clearly label each box with:
The room it belongs in
A brief description of contents
“FRAGILE” where needed
This helps us place boxes in the right rooms and speeds everything up.
🍽️ Protect Fragile Items
Wrap breakables individually using bubble wrap, paper, or towels. Plates should be packed upright (like records), not flat.
🛋️ Prepare Furniture
Empty drawers and cupboards
Dismantle beds and large furniture if possible
Keep screws and fittings in a labelled bag taped to the item
📁 Keep Essentials Separate
Pack a small “moving day box” with:
Important documents
Phone chargers
Kettle, mugs, tea/coffee
Snacks and toiletries
You’ll be glad you did!
🚪 Clear Access on the Day
Make sure hallways, stairs, and doorways are clear and parking is arranged if possible. This helps us load quickly and safely.
