As Winter begins to close in, night’s get longer and the weather gets worse. Despite this, you may still be moving house during this time and are eager to ensure it all goes without a hitch. There is no doubt that moving home over Winter does have its own specific challenges to plan for. The good news is that with the right preparation, it should all go smoothly. If you need a few tips to help, the below should come in handy…
Wrap up warm
This may sound an obvious tip but is essential for your whole family when moving over the cold Winter months. Make sure that you are all well wrapped up with jumpers and coats to keep any chills at bay. Layering is also advised so you can remove any if you get warm when moving things about inside.
Safety first
Moving homes over Winter requires more thought to be put into the safety side of things. You should definitely clear any ice or snow from paths at your old and new house as a top priority. This will mean they are safe to walk on for both you and any removals company you hire. Many people will put temporary sheeting down in their new home to protect carpets from mud or snow being walked in. If you do this, make sure none of it presents a trip hazard to people.
Make sure your belongings are well packed
If it is raining or snowing heavily outside on your move day, you do not want any belongings exposed to the weather. This means that it is key to pack all your items up properly in sturdy boxes. If they cannot be boxed for some reason, you still need to wrap them in a protective layer like bubble wrap to keep the weather off them.
