Furniture Removals

When planning your move, consider:

• Professionals removalists or amateurs? Decide whether you're to be moved by professional removalists or with the help of family and friends.

• Advise organisations of your change of address.

Packing Up

Plan ahead. Get rid of as much junk as possible through charity bins or garage sales.

• Start to use all the food in your freezer to prevent wasting it when you move
• Start your packing early - see Packing.
• Complete an inventory of all items packed
• Check your insurance policy.
• Make a list of items you'll need available for the moving day, so that you don't pack something essential
