Preparing Your Workspace

One reason people move is because they have outgrown their home. Everyone has items that they have not used in months or years that are taking up space.

Prior to your removal is an ideal time to start organising and discarding items you have not used and may not need to move. Unwanted clothing and furniture pieces can always be donated to shelters or religious and charitable organizations, some of who will even pick up the items at your home.

In preparing for your move, set aside important documents and items that may be needed during or immediately after the move, such as plane tickets, passports, medicine, etc.

Materials Checklist

We offer a comprehensive services that range from a removal of a few items to managing the entire removal process, including the supply of cartons (new or used) packing & unpacking, and re-distribution.

You may want to check that you have the following items or similar

• Appropriately-sized moving boxes
• Packing paper for padding interiors of moving boxes and wrapping items (white newspaper- sized sheets without the ink avoid messy stains and damage to your belongings)
• Sturdy moving-quality packing tape for sealing moving boxes
• Scissors for cutting packing tape (if you are unable to rip tape with your hands)
• Black permanent markers for labeling moving boxes

Selecting the proper cartons and packing material

Packing is much more convenient, and less tiring when you have a good work area. It is suggested that you clear the kitchen table and do your packing on the table.

Always cover the table with a furniture pad or old blanket before placing any paper or items on the exposed surface

Keep in mind that when you are packing fragile articles you should plan to pack the heaviest objects toward the bottom of the carton; more delicate articles should be packed closer to the top of the carton.

The first thing to do is to lay out flat on the table a sizable stack of packing paper.

Select a sturdy, medium sized carton. Line the bottom of the carton with several layers of packing paper for additional cushioning.
