Moving out: Before the removal men arrive, be clear in what they are contracted to do and what you are expected to do. If in doubt, ask your dedicated Move Manager or a member of the administration team.  

Garage & Shed: Tie together garden tools, and prepare items to be lifted straight onto the vehicle.

Washing machines & Dishwashers: Please ensue you secure your washing machine drum, and disconnect from water supply and electrical before the removal team arrive.

China & glass: Wrap each item individually in packing paper or bubble wrap, packing the heavier items first with lighter pieces on top. Remember that plates and dishes are packed vertically and not laid flat.

Moving in: 

Make sure that you (or some other responsible person) is on hand to admit the removal men. If no-one is there and a reasonable waiting time expires, you could find yourself landed with storage and re-delivery charges. Enquire how long the vehicle will wait should you be inadvertently delayed on the way. It can also save time and confusion if you stand at the entrance and specify the location of each item as it is carried in.
