Whether you’re considering house removals or have a workspace which needs clearing for some reason, cost is almost always a consideration when planning how to complete your removal project. One of the ways in which many people choose to cut costs is to do their own packing. If you’re considering going down the DIY packing route, consider the following points before making a decision:
Some items may require dismantling as well as packing
Larger furniture pieces such as beds, couches, dining tables and shelving may need to be fully or partially dismantled in order to be successfully moved. Do you have the relevant skills to do the job properly? Remember that you’ll need to reassemble the pieces at the other end.
Do you have the skill to pack awkward or delicate items?
Packing crockery or other valuables is a skilled task! If you have delicate possessions that are of value (either sentimental value and/or financial worth), you may wish to consider a professional packing service.
How much time do you have available?
Packing takes time: if it’s the first time you’ve packed or you have a large property to clear, it can take a very long time. Do you have that sort of time available to get the job done properly? Bearing the above in mind, many people decide to either leave their packing to the professionals (which can often work out more economical once you consider the time it would take if you did it), or hire porters for some of the heavier lifting or disassembling.
