our guidance & tips
Have a look through our helpful advice, on the best ways of packing your items ready for your move.
Strong Boxes (*We can supply)
Fill the boxes to the top to prevent collapsing when loading and stacking for transport.
Clear Labelling
Clearly mark and label each box with it’s contents & which room to go in. Special care boxes are ideal for fragile items, including “This Way Up” markings.
Heavy Items
If you would like us to transport heavier items, we recommend smaller boxes to keep the maximum weight to a minimum.
Do Not Overpack
Be sure to tape your boxes shut, and not to overpack as this could damage it’s contents before it’s even moved.
Bubble Wrap (*We can supply)
Use bubble wrap to protect delicate items and prevent scratching. You can also use packing paper as an alternative. (We can supply)
Plants
It is best to wrap plants from the base up, using a plastic bag, then secure with tape & place in a large box.
Breakables
Breakables such as mirrors, glasses, paintings etc, are best wrapped in cardboard & bubble wrap to ensure a safe move.
*Please note: No responsibility is taken for items or boxes that are incorrectly packed.
