Sorting and packing all your items into cardboard boxes can be a stressful task. This is probably the reason why many people procrastinate and don’t do their packing until the very last minute when the house moving service van arrives on their doorstep. Check out these expert tips on how to efficiently and securely pack your fragile belongings when moving to a new home.
Group all fragile items together
Sort out all the items you are going to take to your new home. Separate breakable items, such as dishes, glassware, lamps and bulbs from the rest.
Get only quality packing materials for moving house
While you may have a stack of old cardboard boxes stored for years in the basement, it is not advisable to use them for your move because they are no longer sturdy and reliable. It is best to source your packing materials from a reliable company that specialises in house removals in London. For fragile items, you are going to need packing paper, bubble wrap, cardboard boxes, scissors and packing tape.
Wrap one by and one and store with smaller boxes
Wrap each item individually with bubble wrap. Instead of packing your fragile items into one big cardboard box, it is highly recommended that you get several smaller-sized boxes, which will have less room for items to shake against each other once the moving van hits the road.
Do not procrastinate
Packing your valuable and breakable items will be difficult when you are rushing to get things done. We highly recommend completing this task at least a week before your moving day. Hiring packers can be a timesaver for people on an extremely busy schedule. Removals specialists are trained to expertly pack and store delicate items safely and securely until they reach their new destination.
