Warrington Van Hire Home Packing Tips
Don’t leave it till the last minute. Well before you move, think about what you don’t need any more, and what will need to be packed carefully. Sift through your belongings and have a good clear-out. You could have a box for charity or have a car boot sale to raise some money.
Planning your packing
Work out how many boxes you need and get them well in advance. You will also need:
- strong tape
- bubble wrap
- self-sealing bags for keeping furniture nuts and bolts together.
- old newspapers to line boxes.
Use sturdy boxes for heavier items but make sure large boxes are not too heavy to move. Put any hazardous materials like paint, bleach or aerosols into a separate box and keep them away from the other boxes.
Pack an ‘essentials’ box for your first night in your new home: put in coffee, tea, snacks, some cups and the kettle, some plates, utensils and a cloth to clean the kitchen surfaces. Also, prepare an overnight bag for the family and ensure that there is a supply of toilet paper and toiletries. Other useful are a torch, a first-aid kit, a pen and paper, and a small tool kit. When loading the van, make sure boxes of items you need the least are loaded in first.
