Pre-Move Preparation: Save Time Before the Movers Arrive
Preparation can help keep the move organised. Any effect on time or price depends on the job and quote terms.
If packing or disconnecting items is unfinished when the crew arrives, this may affect the plan. Ask the provider what should be ready before moving day.
Allow time to pack, label boxes and confirm building, parking and access arrangements. The preparation time needed varies with the move.
- 1. Source Boxes: Compare new and second-hand boxes, checking that reused cartons are clean, dry and sturdy.
- 2. Pack Consistently: Use suitable boxes, secure their contents and label them by room.
- 3. Ask About Furniture Preparation: Confirm whether disassembly is needed and who will do it.
- 4. Prepare Drawers and Wardrobes: Ask the removalist which contents should be removed before moving.
Moving-Day Preparation
These checks can help keep access clear and make it easier to follow the agreed move plan:
- 5. Keep Access Clear: Agree on a safe loading route and keep walkways free of obstacles.
- 6. Confirm Parking: Check whether parking arrangements or approvals are needed; do not reserve public parking unlawfully.
- 7. Plan for Household Members and Pets: Arrange a safe place away from loading activity where practical.
- 8. Share Changes: Tell the removalist about any changed access or inventory before the move begins.
