The Process of Moving House
Plan your removal well beforehand, don't leave it until
it's too late to get someone when you really need them.
Get in touch with ACHAREMOVAL.
We'll quote you a price for your move and keep you right
from the start of the process.
If necessary, one of our staff will call on you to look
at your house, availability of access and the items
you need to move.
We'll remind you of things like your garden shed or
any other items you may have forgotten about.
When we have the required information you will be given
a price for the removal and a provisional date and time
for the move may be booked.
Packing for a House Removal
Some of these may seem obvious but you would be surprised
how many people forget them when they have so many other
things related to the move on their mind.
Make Lists and Label your Boxes
Make up a list to help you to record what's in each
box or container. Devise your own system but keep it
simple and ensure that it will allow you to easily identify
where everything is packed. For example you could use
numbered labels and cross refer these to a list or notebook.
In other words you could have a box numbered "1"
and a reference to this in your notebook listing the
contents of box number "1".
Don't
Overfill!
Please ensure that you do not overfill your boxes and
cartons, remember that they have to be lifted. Your furniture
removal men are fully trained but they are not supermen.
Also, boxes that are overfilled may break under the strain.
Don't
Underfill!
This may seem stupid after the previous tip but partially
filled boxes may collapse if heavy items are placed on
top of them. Try to distribute your things evenly in the
available boxes.
Beware
of Newsprint!
When packing your valuable and fragile possessions please
remember that newsprint will rub off. Use plain paper
where this may be a problem. Your ornaments, glassware
and other delicate items can first be wrapped in kitchen
roll before using newspaper. The containers holding these
items should be clearly marked as "fragile".
Ensure
that you have Sufficient Packing Material
It is essential that you have plenty of paper, bubble
wrap, cartons and containers. You will also need lots
of string and adhesive tape.
