How to Prepare Your Home for Professional Removalists

Professional movers can handle the heavy lifting, but homeowners can still make a major difference by preparing their property before the team arrives.

Good preparation can make loading and unloading more organised.

Finish Your Packing

Ideally, most household items should be packed before the removal team arrives.

Clearly label boxes according to the room they belong to.

Create Clear Walkways

Remove obstacles from hallways, entrances and pathways.

This gives the moving team easier access to furniture and boxes.

Separate Important Items

Keep passports, identification, jewellery, cash, important documents and other personal valuables separate from general household belongings.

Protect Children and Pets

Moving involves heavy lifting, open doors and moving vehicles. Arrange a safe area for children and pets away from the main activity.

Tell the Movers About Special Items

Make sure your removalist knows about:

• Pianos
• Pool tables
• Large safes
• Antiques
• Fragile artwork
• Heavy appliances
• Difficult access

Providing this information early helps the team prepare appropriately.

Arrange Parking

If possible, make sure there is suitable parking for the moving vehicle near the property.

If parking is limited, tell your removalist in advance.

Final Walk-Through

Before leaving your old property, inspect every room, cupboard and storage area.

A final check can prevent forgotten belongings.
