    \n
  • Disconnect your appliances<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Our staff are not authorised to disconnect such items as cookers and washing machines unless special arrangements are made with our estimator. We therefore recommend that you organise this with a plumber and the appropriate Gas and Electricity Board.<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Heavy items<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Secure the drum of your washing machine. Freezers need not be defrosted unless going into storage but it will be very useful if you could place all your frozen food into strong polythene bags which can be quickly removed and replaced when carrying the freezer.<\/p>\n

        \n
      • Fixtures<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Please ensure you remove all fixtures and fittings that you intend to take with you.<\/p>\n

          \n
        • Loft<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          You should normally clear out the loft yourself, unless otherwise previously arranged.<\/p>\n

            \n
          • Outbuildings<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

            All garden and garage tools should be prepared in such a way that they can be easily and quickly carried to the van.<\/p>\n

              \n
            • Garden<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

              Please let us know if any plants are to be moved. In this case they should be made secure and watertight. Swings and climbing frames should be dismantled in advance with all relevant bolts safely retained.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

              [\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”Packing”]<\/p>\n

              \n
                \n
              • Heavy items<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                When packing, give a thought to our poor staff! Books, for example, can be very heavy and should be evenly distributed and mixed with lighter items.<\/p>\n

                  \n
                • Labelling<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                  Mark each box with details of the contents. Please also clearly label anything that you will be taking with you in your own car and also anything that is to remain behind.<\/p>\n

                    \n
                  • Packing cartons<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                    These will be delivered to you in good time before your move following your discussions with our estimator. Please ensure when packed, both the top and bottom of the cartons are securely sealed with packing tape.<\/p>\n

                      \n
                    • Self-assembly<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                      We suggest that you dismantle self-assembly furniture as it tends to be not as strong as regular furniture unless previously arranged with our estimator.<\/p>\n

                        \n
                      • Delicate items<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                        Glass and china items should be individually wrapped in packing paper and lighter items should be placed on top of heavier items. Try to pack vertically, if possible. Tiny objects should be wrapped in tissue and kept in a specially marked box. Ensure liquids are in leak-proof containers and are not flammable.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

                        [\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”Who To Tell”]<\/p>\n

                          \n
                        • Electricity, gas and water<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                          Ensure the appropriate meter readings are taken and that disconnections and re-connections are made at the right time.<\/p>\n

                            \n
                          • Telephone<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                            Arrange for your account to be rendered on moving day and organise the relevant connections with the local telephone companies.<\/p>\n

                              \n
                            • Post Office<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                              To redirect your mail you should contact the Royal Mail at least one week before moving. TV licences should also be amended, as should pension books, if necessary.<\/p>\n

                                \n
                              • Property Tax<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                                Notify local authorities with regard to your property tax.<\/p>\n

                                • Libraries<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                                  Return all relevant books and cards.<\/p>\n

                                  • Schools<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                                    Advise all relevant authorities about your change of address.<\/p>\n

                                      \n
                                    • Medical<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                                      Your doctor, dentist, the DSS and possibly private health companies and hospital clinics all need to know you are moving.<\/p>\n

                                        \n
                                      • Insurance<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                                        Don\u2019t forget your contents and motor insurance.<\/p>\n

                                          • Income tax<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                                            Inform your Inland Revenue Department.<\/p>\n

                                              \n
                                            • Bank<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                                              Advise your bank and\/or your building society and amend your standing orders and direct debits. Don\u2019t forget to notify the relevant companies, too.<\/p>\n

                                                Ensure you advise your new address in writing.<\/p>\n

Younger children are best left with a neighbour or friend until it is time to go. Pets, cannot travel in our lorries and vans due to hygiene and health and safety.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
