Tips - Ideas - Hints - Advice
You may be moving for the first time or moving yourself, or your last move did not quite go as planned.
This is why we have set up a 'Tips' page for you. Over the years of helping people move, we have found that there are lots of ways to make things easier. This page has been set up to share these ideas with you.
If you have any ideas of your own that you have found useful in the past, why not tell us about them so we can share your knowledge with others.

Try to get things not used often i.e. attic things and garage or garden things packed up in advance of anyone viewing as this makes it easier for the surveyor to estimate accurately and will lead to a cheaper quotation.

- Call friends and family to make removal an event not a task.
- Sort through your belongings a few weeks before removal to donate unwanted items to charity - the Sue Ryder Foundation in Cheltenham can be contacted on 01242 252 513, or visit their web site for more information.
- Create a portable kit consisiting of marker pens, plasters, tea kit, phone numbers, tools, labels, keys, toileteries, a good take away telephone number and other essentials not to be packed - don't forget to mark the kit 'not to be packed!'
- Always pack boxes level, and seal them so that they can be stacked, and mark which room they are to go in.
- Stack plates on their sides, not flat, and try to layer china with the odd tea towel or other padding.
- Keep boxes to a sensible weight.
- Try not to leave hollow spaces in boxes - use pillows or cushions where necessary.
- Loose clothes, jackets and bedding etc. can go into binliners.
- Garden tools and other loose items can be taped together into bundles.
- Some items can stay in chests of drawers and bedside cabinets provided they are not fragile.
- Don't water plants before the removal - should they tip over they will make a mess.
- Don't pack any flammables.
