Top Packing Tips From Removal Companies
You’ve put the offer in on the house, or the deposit down on the flat, and its all systems go for moving.
Now, you’ve got to think about packing up all of your belongings so that they are ready for the big day. It can feel like an insurmountable task, but if you plan ahead, you can get it done easily.
Here are some of the best packing tips from Swindon removal companies, so you can get everything ready for the move.
Get The Supplies In Order First
Make sure you have plenty of boxes of different sizes, so that you can get everything packed away neatly. As well as this, you’ll need packing tape, bubble wrap, old newspaper, marker pens, and labels. Having these all to hand can help you get started right away.
Start Packing Early
It’s a good idea to start packing as soon as you can. The sooner, the better. This will take a lot of pressure off you as the moving dates draws closer, and you’ll feel much more ready for the move.
Start with items that you won’t need soon, such as ornaments and decorations. Having these items packed right away means you’ll have less to do later on.
Declutter Your Home
Now’s the best time to have a good clear out of your home. After all, it’s much better to have a clear out now rather than move all the unneeded items to your new home; where you’ll just get rid of them there!
You’ll find that you have less to move, so removal companies Swindon based may be able to quote you less to move your belongings, too.
Pack Carefully
You don’t want to pack your items, only to get to your new home and find that they’ve been damaged in transit. If you pack your items carefully, though, this won’t happen.
Make sure you’re putting heavier items on the bottom, and that each box doesn’t exceed 30 lbs. As well as this, pack up any empty spaces with old newspaper to keep items secure.
Label Your Boxes
Finally, you need to ensure that you’re labelling your boxes. This serves two functions. First of all, it’ll help the removal companies Swindon based, who are helping you move, as they’ll know where the items need to go in your new home.
Secondly, it’ll make life a lot easier when you’re looking for a particular item once you’re moved in. Mark each box by what’s in it and what room it needs to go in, and consider using different colours too.
