Moving Tips

Here are a few tips to help ensure your house or office move goes smoothly on the day:

Heavy Items

• Heavy items such as books should be packed in smaller boxes if possible to reduce the weight
• Place heavier items at the bottom of the box
• Never make boxes so heavy that they cannot be lifted safely
• If a partly-filled box is already heavy, add something light on top to fill it such as a pillow or cushion

Boxes

• Make sure you use boxes that are strong enough for the job (we do supply free boxes so don’t hesitate to ask for them)
• To make boxes easier to stack, always fill them to the top but do not overfill

Other

• You can safely leave items in drawers as long as the drawer unit can be lifted by two people
• Large bin bags are excellent for soft, light items such as bedding, pillows and cushions
• Use your existing suitcases and bags to fill with lighter items for moving
