Removals to/from Bournemouth – save up to 60%

Moving to a new house is among the most common happenings we can experience in our days. And even though we move at least a few times before settling for good, removals are still some of the most stressful activities possible. Just working out the organization of shipping everything you have from one place to another is a very large job and when you add packing, unpacking and selecting the suitable transport provider to help you with removal, it seems truly huge and very nerve-wracking. Luckily there are couple of things you can do to make the move as efficient as possible and considerably less nerve-wracking.

Packing and securing your items for transportation

One crucial tip you need to remember while packing is that you should create a clear plan that you’ll have to abide by through the whole process. It is good to make a list of every item you want to ship. It will not only help you pack but also will allow you to check if all of your things were safely transported to its place of destination. Removal entails transporting a great deal of various items, including a lot of little things that are easily forgettable when packed in a hurry – an inventory will help you make sure they all made it to your new home safely. Another crucial step is tagging all the boxes as clearly as you are able to. One of the more useful ways of tagging boxes is by category. So all the kitchen accessories as well as appliances go into boxes labelled ‘kitchen’, all the duvets as well as jewellery in the box tagged ‘bedroom’ and so on. You’ll quickly find out how time-saving tagging can be once you get to the unpacking part. Don’t forget to tag both sides and the top of the box, so that you (as well as the transport provider) will be able to recognize which box goes where, regardless of how they will be stacked in the transporting vehicle.

Take special care with delicate things. Enclose them in thick layers of textiles as well as bubble wrap and tag them in an easily visible place (together with a “This way up” sign). You should also make sure that the hauler knows that he’ll be shipping fragile load as well as which boxes have to be handled with care.

When it comes to furniture, it’s important to empty them prior to the removal as well as transport all the things inside separately. Any loose items inside closets and drawers can harm your furniture during shipment. It’s also smart to close all the furniture doors as well as drawers using tape so that they won’t open during transportation. You can use ordinary Scotch tape for that. Another issue is the matter of putting the furniture inside the shipping car. Ahead of attempting to move your furniture from the house, be certain that they will fit through the front doors, stairways or into the elevator (if your old apartment has one). If they do, you’ll be able to transport them without disassembling (find at least 1 person to help you!). If they cannot, dismantling them is the sole method to move them without harm. Be cautious with that – be sure to store all the nails and bolts gathered like in a Ziploc bag and that you’ve secured delicate elements of the furniture sufficiently. Dismantling furniture is also a good idea when you need to fill the shipping vehicle to the maximum, because dismantled furniture will take a lot less place.  

Whenever securing smaller things, like books, kitchen appliances, cosmetics and much more, boxes will be the smartest choice. It’s very possible that you will need more boxes than you have – but there is a few ways to acquire some more.
