Have an antique or extremely heavy furniture?

It is important when booking the service of a house mover to provide full detail of the access, difficult entrances, or steps. This is important information for the moving company, so they can plan ahead and guide the client on what is needed.

Neglecting or omitting important information about entrance or stairs can be quite critical to have items transported safely.

You should always tell your house moving company about:

• Steps 
• Flights of stairs
• Lift
• Ramp
• Slope
• Distance to your entrance to the drop off of the items
• Narrow entrance
• Corners

Having these details clear from the start will lay the responsibility of any damage on the moving company. Surely, movers will be more prepared and will have enough staff for the job ahead.

Moving House Packing Tips

It is never easy to move houses. There is no doubt that stress, lack of time and money plays an important role. You will need to save some time to start packing, maybe buy or hire boxes, and you may also need to donate or throw some things away. 

Here are a few tips on the packing process:

• Kitchen utensils such as plates, mugs, cutlery and all glass or porcelain items are advisable to be wrapped in paper or bubble wrap;

• Delicate items should be put aside and labelled so the movers can take it carefully;

• Small boxes should be fitted with heavy items making them easy to carry and to fit into the truck;

• Big boxes should have light items;

• Empty food out of cabinets, fridge, racks, etc as it is definitely easy to transport and may avoid any possible damage of items inside units;

• If possible, remove the drawers so it can be transported separately;

• Label items that will go where, for example, master bedroom, kitchen, living room, etc. This way making it easier when unpacking and it is a directive for the movers
