We offer full or part packing services, but if you prefer to do it yourself, our room-by-room checklist will help you stay organised and in control. Start early and tackle one area at a time to avoid last-minute stress.
Don’t forget these key tasks:
Update your address with your GP, bank, utilities, and any subscriptions.
Schedule disconnections and reconnections for water, electricity, and internet.
Declutter before packing- donate or dispose of anything you don’t need.
If you’re packing yourself, prepare a packing basket with all the essentials, so everything is always in one place:
Eco-friendly paper parcel tape
Boxes
Scissors, box cutter
Markers and colour-coded dots (use a different colour for each room)
Label tape
Old magazines or newspapers for padding
Strong bin liners and tote bags for clothes and last-minute items
You don’t need to break the bank to get essential packing supplies. For cheap or even free materials, start by checking Facebook Marketplace, where people often give away moving boxes and materials after their own moves.
Local supermarkets are another great option; just ask at the customer service desk if they have spare boxes; they may ask you to come back the next day. Pound shops and discount stores often sell tape, labels, and bin liners at lower prices than major retailers.
You can also reuse magazines, newspapers, and even washed clothes for wrapping and packing, making your move more affordable and eco-friendly.
Wrap fragile items like mugs and plates in clean clothes to reduce waste.
Clearly label boxes containing fragile items and use “FRAGILE” tape where needed.
For expensive dinnerware, use quilted moving boxes, then place those in sturdy boxes for extra protection. Some of our favourites are linked below.
While our vans come equipped with protective blankets, please ensure your belongings are packed securely. Any damage resulting from poor packing is not covered by our liability policy. Our drivers may assess and inform you of any risks they spot during loading.
