Packing Hints

• A few weeks before the move gradually start reducing stockpiles of frozen, tinned and packaged goods. These are notorious for spoiling, spilling or simply taking up space and packing time.

• Take the time to choose the right packing boxes for the job.

• Begin packing a few days before the move. Start in areas such as the dining room or study where items are not in constant use.

• Resist packing breakables or liquids such as ornaments, perfumes or sauce bottles, in drawers. Do not overload drawers with linen or clothing as too much weight may damage furniture.

• When packing items from the garden, shed or workshop, don’t forget to drain the fuel from heater, lamps, lawn mowers or outboard motors.

• One way of making the task of unpacking much easier - even for children - is to colour code each room. Packed boxes can be marked with their room’s colour, as well as a short description of their contents.

• Another of the less obvious points to be considered in advance of the move is whether your driveway can take the weight of a fully laden van.
