Moving hints and suggestions

• When packing use appropriate packing boxes i.e. tea chest, wine and book cartons
• If you over pack a box you risk damaging its contents
• Stuff socks, tea towels, pillow cases and other small fabric items in holes and crevices in boxes
• Keep all screws, bolts and other loose items in bags, taped to underside of furniture
• Pot plants – prune and do not water prior to packing
• Ensure children and pets are safe and out of harm’s way
• Remove all trip hazards from floor
• Consume your supplies of frozen and perishable items
• If box contains breakable items clearly mark fragile
• If chest of draws/tall boys aren’t too heavy leave clothes inside and securely tape draws shut
• Disconnect all electrical items
• Where possible dismantle beds as this is time consuming and will save on the cost of the removal.
