From Rainhill Removals & Storage Ltd

Moving is a stressful time so to make things easier for you we've put together some useful hints and tips. This should help your move be quicker, less stressful and more enjoyable.

*Label each box with what room they belong to they can be taken straight there when delivered to the new property.

*Each package should also state if it is heavy or fragile.

*Spread the weight of heavy items over different boxes this makes the boxes easier to carry.

*Don't under fill your boxes as when packed they may collapse under the weight of heavier boxes.

*Make sure fragile items such as glass are wrapped in bubble wrap to prevent breakages.

*Unplug and drain items such as dishwashers and washing machines in advance, don't leave till the day you move.

*Defrost freezers in advance and make sure they are fully defrosted.

*Start packing non essential items in advance, don't leave everything to the last minute.

*Flat pack furniture should be dismantled before moving, place all screws and fixings in a plastic bag and tape to the furniture, this will help when re-assembling at the other end.

*If possible avoid using bin bags to pack as they tend to tear and are difficult to stack.

*Before you leave check your loft, cupboards, and all outbuildings such as sheds, storerooms and garages.

*On the day of your move make sure all entrances, paths, stairs, walkways and passages are clear so that the removals firm have plenty of space to park and load up.

*If you have children or pets you may want to consider leaving them with a sitter during the move.

*As you are leaving make a note of all your meter readings and contact your utility companies as soon as you can with the details of your new property.
