Top moving tips to help your moves go as smoothly as possible:
Up to one month ahead of the removal
  • Secure and confirm your removal date as far in advance as possible.
  • Prepare a list of fixtures you are leaving.
  • Decide if you would like to use our useful packing services.
Up to three weeks ahead of the move

Up to two weeks ahead of moving
  • Dismantle self-assembly furniture, unless we have agreed to do this for you.
  • Arrange for professional disconnection of kitchen appliances, including the washing machine to ensure securing of the drum.
  • Have the gas, electricity, telephone and water meters read.
  • Start running down freezers. Manufacturers and the Trade Association advise against moving freezers in a full or frozen state. If, however, you require that yours be moved with food inside, wrap contents in newspapers, boxes or trays to facilitate handling. Please note freezers in this condition will be moved at your own risk.
  • Clear the loft unless we have agreed to do so.
  • Dismantle sheds, greenhouses etc., unless we have agreed to do this for you.
  • Drain fuel from lawnmowers/motor cycles.
  • Remove any fixtures you are taking.
  • If appropriate, make arrangements for children to be looked after.
  • Fabrics that you are placing into store should be given anti-moth treatment.
  • If you are moving home in or out of a block of flats, organise to have use of the manual override key or priority use of the lift.
The day before the removal
  • Have TV aerials or satellite dishes taken down if they are part of the move.
  • Disconnect any light fittings you are taking
  • Seal packets and tighten jars of food.
  • Defrost refrigerator and deep freeze. If you do not intend to empty the freezer, please read our earlier advice.
  • Prepare plants for transit.
  • Chest of drawers may be left full depending on the make of the furniture
  • Set aside an area marked 'Do Not Move' for coats, handbags, kettle, snacks, tools and cleaning materials.
  • Set up separate transportation for any dangerous substances.
On the day of your move
  • Lock your valuables somewhere safe and carry them personally to your new home for added peace of mind.
  • If your possessions are being stored, remember to retain important items - passport, driving licence, etc. Do not put perishable or flammable items in storage.
  • Before the van departs, check nothing has been forgotten. Responsibility is yours to see nothing is moved in error.
