Top Tips

• Start packing as early as possible!
• Start with rooms you least need - start by packing all the items that you do not use on a daily basis. Some things are seasonal such as your gardening tools you know you won’t be needing them in winter.
• Only pack one room at a time - a simple tip, however, it is very important. It will help you stay organised, label each box as you go. This will help the movers know which room to unload the boxes in. 
• Label the boxes - it is best to write the contents of each box on the side of the box. Which will make it visible if the boxes are stacked on top of each other. 
• Don’t overload the boxes - otherwise, the boxes will break! It is best to pack the light items in the larger boxes and the heavy items in the smaller boxes. 
• Secure your items - you can use old newspapers or bubble wrap to make sure your items don’t get damaged on the way to your new house.

Moving House How to Pack Clothes

Your clothes should be the last thing you pack as you always need them! Keep some essential outfits you may need in between moving in a suitcase. Remember to label the suitcase!

• Wardrobe boxes are ideal for packing clothes. You can leave your clothes on the hangers and put them in the box - simple as that. 
• Suitcases are great for shoes, accessories and for clothes that you are happy to fold.
• Vacuum Bags - are great if you want to save space and fit lot’s of clothes in!

Shoes and Accessories

Pack your shoes and accessories separately from your clothes. Wrap each shoe in a plastic bag before packing them and put the boots or heavier shoes at the bottom of the box. So accessories do not get damaged pack them in smaller boxes or travel storage for accessories.
