Packing Tips For Moving House.

We recommend that plates, dishes etc. be packed on their sides as opposed to flat, this minimises breakages during transportation.

Soft items, i.e. bedding, towels, soft toys etc. can be placed into strong polythene bags as opposed to cartons.

Pictures and mirrors are safest when wrapped in bubble wrap, unless small enough to be wrapped and placed into cartons.

When transporting garden tools, we suggest that you bundle a few together with strong brown tape, this makes for easier handling.

If you choose to pack yourselves, we can supply a large range of packing materials to assist you in the safe transport of your belongings.
