Whether you’re moving locally or across town, we’re here to ensure your move is organised, safe, and completely worry-free.
1.Start planning your home removals in advance
- Create a moving checklist 2–3 weeks before your move.
- Book your local Man & Van service early to secure your ideal date.
- Notify your landlord, utility suppliers, and internet company about your move-out date.
A clear plan means less chaos when moving day arrives.
2. Declutter Before You Pack
- Moving is the perfect time to get rid of things you don’t need.
- Sort items by keep, donate (Find your local donation centre using charities such as the British Heart Foundation, The Salvation Army, or St Rocco’s Hospice by visiting their official websites.), sell, or recycle.
- The fewer things you move, the faster and cheaper your relocation will be.
3. Get Quality Packing Materials
Don’t rely on old boxes — sturdy materials protect your valuables.
- Use strong boxes, bubble wrap, and packing tape.
- Label each box with the room name and contents.
- Pack heavy items in small boxes and lighter items in larger ones.
4. Pack Smart
- Start with non-essential items like books or seasonal clothes.
- Keep a “first-night box” with essentials — toiletries, chargers, snacks, and a change of clothes.
- Wrap fragile items carefully and mark boxes as FRAGILE.
5. Prepare Furniture and Appliances
- Disassemble large furniture if possible (bed frames, tables).
- Defrost your fridge/freezer 24 hours before moving.
- Protect furniture with blankets or padding.
Your movers will appreciate the preparation — it saves time and reduces the risk of damage.
6. Confirm Details with Your Moving Team
- Double-check your booking date, time, and addresses.
- Make sure there’s parking space for the van at both locations.
- Share any special instructions (stairs, fragile items, restricted access).
At Take & Care Logistics, we confirm every booking personally — so you know exactly when and who to expect on moving day.
7. On Moving Day
- Keep valuables, documents, and keys with you.
- Do a final check of every room before leaving.
- Stay calm — our friendly movers will handle the heavy lifting.
