Packing Tips & Checklist

Packing Tips for Moving House

Moving house can feel overwhelming, but a little preparation can make the process much smoother. Here are some helpful packing tips from our team.

• Start packing early and tackle one room at a time.

• Declutter before you pack by donating, selling, or disposing of items you no longer need.

• Use sturdy moving boxes and quality packing materials to protect your belongings.

• Label every box with its contents and the room it belongs in.

• Pack heavier items in smaller boxes and lighter items in larger boxes.

• Wrap fragile items individually using packing paper or bubble wrap.

• Fill empty spaces in boxes to prevent items from shifting during transit.

• Keep important documents, valuables, medications, and chargers with you rather than in the moving truck.

• Pack an essentials box containing items you'll need on your first night, such as toiletries, clothing, phone chargers, and basic kitchen supplies.

• Seal all boxes securely with strong packing tape.

• Take photos of electronic setups before disconnecting cables to make reassembly easier.

• Clearly mark boxes containing fragile items so they can be handled with extra care.

• Avoid over-packing boxes to reduce the risk of damage and make lifting safer.

• Disassemble furniture where possible and keep screws and fittings in labelled bags.

• Ensure pathways and access points are clear on moving day to help the move run efficiently.
