Moving day expectations

You may have mixed emotions about your moving day, and this is completely normal. Having organised everything with your moving company, you will have less to worry about than you may think.

Depending on the time you have arranged your moving company to arrive, you may have time for a quick look around and make sure you haven’t missed anything.

When your removal company arrives

Your moving company will have a look around your home to make sure everything is in order. This will allow you to discuss a few things with them. You may want to inform them of anything that you may not be taking with you, any fragile items you may have, and more. By making sure that you make your moving company aware of these things, you can prevent any issues from occurring.

Ensuring that your goods are prepared for transport will be carried out. This can occur in a variety of ways, from wrapping sofas to mattresses and more. Depending on the nature of your goods, they will have to be protected so they arrive at your new home in the same condition.

All of your goods will be covered with moving blankets, to ensure that they will be protected in transit. It is important that this occurs, so that furniture will not be marked, scratched, or damaged in any way. Furthermore, your clothes may be transferred into wardrobe boxes. This will prevent them from being creased, and will make for easier transportation. By hanging clothes in these boxes, it is ensured that boxes won’t be too heavy from overpacking.

Travelling to your new house on moving day

Depending on the timing, you may have to go straight to your new home or you might have some spare time. Of course, you will have discussed this with your moving company already. Furthermore, you may either have to go and unlock your new home. Or, you may have given the keys to your moving company to do so. This can differ depending on the type of service(s) that you have opted for.

For example, if you are being provided with an unloading and unpacking service, you may leave the moving company to it. In comparison, you might want to be present to inform the staff of where everything needs to go.

If you have some spare time between leaving your old home and arriving at your new one, you may stop somewhere to get breakfast or lunch. Or, you may go and visit a family member to kill some time.

When you arrive at your new house on moving day

Your moving team will go through everything with you once your goods are in the property. They will accompany you throughout your home to ensure everything is to your standard. Furthermore, they will check with you that all of your goods are in the correct places. If you require further help, they will be able to advise you, and can make arrangements at their availability.

Things to help you settle in easier

We recommend that when moving house, you prepare a box or bag with some essential items in. These can be things which can make you more comfortable in your home on your first night, and help you settle in. We would suggest things like a kettle for a cup of tea, some toiletries, blankets, bedding etc. These things can all help you to make your house more homely in an instant.

By ensuring that you have a few bits to make you feel more at home, you can also make the transition easier for your family. Children and pets can very easily get stressed, and some normality can do them a world of good. Therefore, we would also recommend packing some toys and treats for your pets, and some toys and home comforts for your children. This may help greatly in settling them into their new home, and keeping stress levels to a minimum.

Additional services to help your moving day

These services can come in very handy, and can make your move so much easier. We offer services such as packing, unpacking, storage, and more. These can provide a bit of relief when you are unsure of how to proceed with your move. For storage, this can help you to free up some space in your new home, to give you more room to breathe.

As for packing and unpacking, this can be useful if you do not have the time to do this yourself. We understand that in these situations, sometimes you may need a bit of help. This is applicable when you also may not have friends and family available to help you with these tasks.
