Fixtures & Fittings

All of these items should be taken down in advance, including Curtain poles, Pictures, Mirrors, large-screen TVs, and any other items fixed to walls and ceilings.

Self-Assembly / Kit Furniture

Dismantling and reassembling this kind of furniture where required is not covered in our standard quotation. Please ask for this to be included; otherwise, you or a qualified trade person should undertake it at your discretion.

White Goods / Gas / Electrical Appliances

A competent or qualified tradesperson should disconnect all of these items before the removal day and be re-connected when you arrive at your new home.

Transit Brackets or Fixing Bolts

These should be attached to washing machines by yourselves before being moved (please read your manufacturer’s instructions)

Packing of Personal / Fragile Items

Give yourself sufficient space when undertaking any form of packing. Start to pack at least three weeks before your move. Records, CDs, and plates should be placed on their end when packing. Book cartons should be about half full, and soft furnishings, towels, etc., should be placed on top to complete the box.

Safety Precautions

Never overfill a box with items sticking out of the top, and ensure the box is completely sealed. Also, ensure boxes are of a weight that can be easily moved.

Lofts

Unless your loft has adequate stair casing, lighting, and flooring (not ladders), any items should be taken down in advance and placed in an accessible room.

Storage

If you require storage during your removal process, please ensure that any perishable items or garden plants are catered for elsewhere and personal documents, such as your passport, driving license, and mortgage papers, are kept separately by yourself for quick and easy access.

Garage & Shed Contents 

These form an integral part of the move and are sometimes overlooked, so they should be packed accordingly. Please be aware that any gas cylinders, turps, paint, oil, petrol, or any other flammable or corrosive substances are your responsibility and must be transported or stored by you.
