The Golden Rule of Home Removals!

The Golden Rule of home removals is to start preparation and planning as early as possible. We recommend giving yourself at least 4 weeks lead time, although appreciate that this is not always possible.

4 Weeks Before Move Day

Call Busy Chaps and get us booked in for the home removal. (We will order and deliver all your packing materials) Remember to book the time off work. Think about ordering carpets and curtains for the new home. Plan where you are going to want all your furniture and belongings to go. Start to declutter and clear out things you no longer need. (check our house clearance page for ways we can help)

Two weeks before moving day

You can now start to pack, begin with non-essentials Order a re-direct for your mail with the Post Office Let your utility companies know you are moving home (This is a great opportunity to check you are getting the best deals on your various utilities - check out Uswitch.com or comparethemarket.com) Let local council know you are moving as well as TV licensing

One week before moving day

Let your insurance companies know your new address Send friends and family change of address information Arrange child and/or pet care for moving day Dig up any plants you are taking and get them potted Let your doctor and dentist know you are moving and if necessary register with a new one

Two days before...

Everything should be packed now! Make up a box of moving day essentials, we have some ideas of what you might like to include here Defrost the freezer Un-plumb the washing machine and dishwasher Set aside anything you will be transporting yourself

MOVING DAY!

Label where you would like each box to go in your new home Strip all the beds Ensure access to your property and parking is clear Put down some sheeting to protect the floors Sit back and relax because everything is prepared and Busy Chaps are going to do the rest

Important!!

If we have long distance to travel to your new home please be aware that unforeseen circumstances (mainly UK traffic!) can lead to delays in getting there. If you need to meet anyone at your new property on moving day then we recommend giving them a 2 hour arrival window and then contact them again once we are 30 minutes out.
