Tips To Ensure That House Removals Are Not A Pain

The sale and purchase of a house is stressful enough. You do not need to add to this the further discomfort of not being prepared for the move come the big day. Take these simple tips on board to ensure your house removals are plain sailing.

Most removal companies will provide boxes, but why not obtain your own and get on with packing well in advance of the move date. Retail outlets will provide these and will not charge for doing so. Also, ask friends if they have any large boxes they do not need.

For many of us, flat pack furniture rules the roost in the furniture farm, and therefore we have to think about dis-assembly at the appropriate time. A good range of Allen keys will usually be required for this. When all the bolts and screws have been removed, place them in a strong plastic bag and stick the bag with electrical insulation tape to a part of the de-constructed furniture which is not normally exposed to view. This way the parts will be easily found for construction in the new house.

The freezer will need to be removed but not with a ton of ice and frozen food inside. Plan to use up all your food supplies and if you can’t, ask friends to take the more expensive joints of meat to store temporarily. If you know well in advance that you are moving, perhaps hold a little food party to assist in the process of decanting the contents of the freezer.

Getting rid of any unneeded item is beneficial before moving. Take the opportunity to make some money by selling unwanted belongings or by making the charity shops the chief beneficiaries of your generosity. It will also reduce the cost of the move in terms of how much stuff that has to be transported.

Delicate items need to be packed carefully with newspaper or plastic. Also consider the way in which you fill your boxes, making sure that lighter items are placed on heavier ones. Let common sense prevail at all times.

Keep all boxes out of the way in a room separate from the normal day to day activities of the household. That way you will have free movement and not be stressed by a constant reminder of the move ahead.

Removal vehicles are big beasts and will not always be easy to get close to a house. Check at the destination what this situation is, comparing at like times of the day for parking issues. Make enquiries as to what kind of permit may be required and try to reserve a space close to the house.

It helps to keep items in the same box within the same category according to room or type. They should then be identified with a sticker on top saying what the contents are and what room they are to be located in. This can save hours in the long run.

House removals will require a multitude of tasks, therefore have a small tool box filled with essential items at the ready. A hammer, torch, spanner and screwdrivers will all come in useful, you will be surprised. And don’t forget the kettle, mugs and biscuits which should be the first items for unpacking in any new house.
