Moving house is often quite the stressful endeavour, but there are ways that you can alleviate some of that stress. Some of the best ways to do this are to plan your move ahead of time and make use of a professional removals company. Packing is generally easy, but moving heavy furniture can be difficult. It's best to leave this to the people who have the know-how, so you can focus on prepping your flat or house with these simple tips and tricks. You'll save time and money and make the whole move something that is a lot less stressful.

Plan Ahead Packing

One of the best things you can do prior to the move is plan your packing. Weeks or even months before, you can gather old newspapers and packing materials. This will save you lots of money and help you to recycle whilst also limiting the number of trips you need to make. If you buy electrical goods, they often contain plastic packing which is great for scrunching up to buffer delicate objects, as well as bubble wrap, which is a mover's best friend. Save your old boxes too, as these will be good for delicate glassware which can then be placed into larger boxes for additional protection.

What Is Where?

Labelling your boxes will make it a lot easier for the removal company to drop them off into the right rooms. Likewise, it'll make it a lot easier for you to locate specific things once everything has been unloaded. Try to label each box with the room it belongs in, and attach a list of all the items inside. You can even write the items nearer the bottom of the box on the bottom of the list and vice versa, to make it even easier to find things.

Quick! Unload!

When you finally make it to your new place the last thing you want is for the unpacking of the boxes from the removals van to take forever. Before the van arrives, lay old sheets and strips of cardboard box down in the interior of the home. You'll stop the removal company from having to remove heavy boots whilst protecting the floor at the same time. Quite often stones and dirt will be dragged in which can stain carpets and scratch floors. This way you'll be able to just roll up the sheets and throw them away without having to do a second clean.
