Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do to prepare for moving day?
Preparing for a house move involves more than just packing boxes. Start by decluttering each room to reduce what needs to be moved. Create a checklist of tasks, such as notifying utility companies, updating your address, and arranging childcare or pet care if needed. Label boxes clearly and keep essentials like toiletries, chargers and a change of clothes separate for easy access. Disassemble large furniture in advance if possible, and ensure access points are clear on both ends. Planning ahead helps reduce stress and keeps everything on track, especially if there are time constraints or multiple parties involved in the move.
What items should I not pack on the truck?
There are a few things that should not be packed with your general household items. These include important documents, jewellery, passports, medications and anything you may need during the move. It’s also recommended not to pack perishable food or items that could leak or spill. Hazardous materials such as paint, fuel, cleaning products or flammable substances are often restricted or not allowed. Keep a personal bag or box for valuables and essentials, and transport these yourself where possible. This ensures you’ll have access to important items when needed and reduces the risk of loss or damage during transit.
How can I make unpacking easier after the move?
Unpacking is easier when boxes are clearly labelled by room and contents. Unpack one room at a time, starting with the essentials like your kitchen, bathroom and bedroom. Flatten boxes as you go to keep the space tidy, and keep a bin nearby for packing materials. Try to avoid rushing the process. Instead, focus on setting up one area completely before moving to the next. Have a basic toolkit ready for assembling furniture and installing appliances. Keeping an “essentials” box on hand with things like scissors, chargers and cleaning supplies will help you settle in more quickly.
