As the helpful and experienced team at Easy Move Furniture Removals say, “the trick with packing is to be ORGANISED” and, to this end, they are full of great ideas on how to make moving day just that much easier. For example, one of their first tips is for people to make sure there’s enough packing material to do the job and to mark ‘fragile’ on boxes that have breakables so the furniture movers will take extra care with them.

It is also very important that people prepare a ‘priority’ carton to go on last, then first off the truck. This should include essentials from the kitchen and bathroom and any other items needed for quick and easy access. Then they recommend starting room by room, marking each box clearly as to which room they will go into at their new home. They also have lots of advice regarding moving furniture. Beds should be dismantled before the move, and when taking the bed apart the frames should be taped together, and the legs popped into a drawer so they don’t get lost.

As professional furniture movers they also advise people to take any fragile or heavy items out of drawers, but clothing is fine to be left in. Similarly, if they need to lift beds over a balcony, their experienced movers are trained to do this safely and professionally. People should cover tables with blankets, removing the legs and wrapping the nuts and bolts in a plastic bag which can be tied to a leg. Carpets should be rolled up and secured with string, and bedside lamps are better to be taken in the car, or dismantled and protected.

They also recommend having all electrical items packed back into their original boxes if possible, with their wiring and remotes in the same box for easy assembling at the other end. Freezers, fridges and dishwashers should be thoroughly cleaned and dried inside and out and paintings and photo frames should be protected with bubble wrap. Fridges or freezers need to sit for at least half an hour after being moved so the gas can settle down. Finally, they recommend trying not to leave packing until the last minute as time may tick up on the bill at the end of the job.
