On Moving Day, there is so much to think about and it is why we sit our clients down and discuss the plan in detail beforehand.

However, with over 200 house moves under our belt, here are the 3 essential things you must have on Moving Day:

📦Essentials Moving Box

It should have everything you need right up to the last minute in the house and everything you’ll need when you first arrive in your new home. Things like:

• Loo paper
• Kettle
• Tea/coffee/sugar/fresh milk
• Chocolate biscuits / snacks (we always have grapes and cherry tomatoes!)
• 6 coffee mugs (these double up as water glasses and wine glasses!)
• Teaspoons
• Washing up liquid
• Tea towel
• All-purpose cleaner and cloths
• Scissors/penknife to open the boxes
• Basic toolkit
• Emergency first aid kit
• Torch
• Radio/smart speaker to entertain you during the boring unpacking!
• Food for an evening meal or the menu from your local takeaway.
• A bottle of wine/beer and bottle opener
• Cash tip for the removers
• TV aerial and connectors
• Phone chargers

🎒An Overnight Bag

This should have everything you might need for your first night. This should cover all scenarios including a delayed completion or if the keys are late being released and you’re too exhausted to start unpacking.

💼Your Confidential Bag

This has your important paperwork and documentation for the move, contact numbers, your passports, jewellery, watches, and anything of high emotional value that if you lost or got damaged would be a catastrophe. Ideally, leave this with a trusted friend of family member close by.

These 3 essential Must Have’s should be transported in your own car. If, for some reason, the Essentials Moving Box doesn’t fit – make sure it is last on and first off the removers lorry. Never entrust your confidential items to the removers – their insurance won’t cover its contents.
