Packing & Moving Tips

With the right approach, your can be efficient and stress-free. Here are essential tips to help you stay organised and protect your belongings:

• Start Early:  Begin packing well in advance to avoid last-minute stress. Tackle one room at a time.
• Declutter First:  Sort through your belongings to donate, sell or discard items you no longer need. This reduces the number of things to pack.
• Use Quality  Packing Supplies:  Invest in sturdy boxes, bubble wrap, packing tape and labels to ensure your items are protected.
• Label Everything:  Clearly mark boxes with their contents and the room they belong to. This makes unpacking easier.
• Pack Fragile Items Carefully:  Wrap breakables individually and use plenty of cushioning to prevent damage during transit.
• Pack an Essentials Box:  Include toiletries, medications, chargers and a change of clothes for quick access on moving day.
• Plan for Kids & Pets:  Arrange for childcare or pet care to keep them safe during the move.
