Man and Van Moving Home Advice
Moving House Tips & Advice
If your moving house, flat or a student just moving bags and boxes, from London to Manchester or where ever here’s a few tips to help things move more smoothly!
First things first
Weeks before the move, start using up perishables in your refrigerator and freezer and try to use up cleaning supplies. Also, start packing things that you won’t be needing in the next month.
Start selling or giving away household items or houseplants you’re not moving. You might want to plan a car boot sale or set aside items for charity. Or book our rubbish removal service for unwanted bulky items.
Take an inventory of everything you are moving.
Number and identify all your boxes; include the total number of boxes you have after you’ve finished. Packing by room will make unpacking easier once you arrive at your destination. Keep a list of the number and description of the contents in each box.
Pack a box of essential items you will need during and right after the trip. For example: first-aid kit, medicines, toiletries, coffee and coffee pot, small tool set, a can opener, paper plates, cups and utensils, a couple of pans, and paper towels. Pack the box in the moving van or in your car last so it will be easy to get to.
| The date: Book your removal as soon as you can confirm dates and times. | |
| Let’s face it. It’s physically and emotionally exhausting to pack one’s life into a bunch of boxes and move to a new place – even if it is only streets away. That’s why it helps to do some careful planning to make things go smoothly before, during and after the big move… | |
First to get started: | |

| Flat Pack self assembly furniture this can be difficult! In theory you are supposed to be able to dismantle and re-assemble most self assembly furniture. In practice, it never goes together again so well and can’t be covered by insurance. You can move it complete but joints may loosen | |
| |
After arrival | |
| When the removals arrive at your new home or apartment, make sure that the furniture and boxes are placed in the right rooms and that all your boxes have been delivered. | |
| Don’t forget to give your new address to…… | |
|
|
Unloaded | |
| At this point you’ll probably feel the urge to tackle everything at once. You don’t have to unpack everything in one day – or even in one week. Start by unloading the van and placing boxes and furniture in their designated rooms. Wonder where to start unpacking? Plan on taking things one room at a time, starting with the kitchen. Set up the microwave and coffeemaker and stock the fridge with easy-to-prepare meals. Once your basic kitchen items are in order, you can focus on other areas of the house knowing that you have somewhere to go for a cup of coffee or a quick snack. Next focus on the bathrooms. Make toiletries and paper accessible and pull out a few towels. Once your new kitchen and baths are functioning, you can focus on the rest of the house at a more relaxed pace. Where you go from here is a matter of personal preference – take your time! | |
