RG Man and Van Moving Advice Reading Berkshire

Moving from one house to another is certainly a very hectic task and requires a lot of pre-planning to execute it successfully. The most common mistake that people make during moving House, is that they don’t plan, rather they just start packing and sorting things out from different points, every single time. Lack of pre-planning results in your items being packed in an un organised manner which causes problems for you while unpacking and transporting.

The first step in making your house moving preparations is obviously, to plan it well in advance. Finding the alternative house, visiting it in advance, and earmarking the rooms as per your family members and making a mental map of where to place the stuff that you move from your old house or apartment.

• Next step is to analyze the packing that needs to be done. Pitch the task at hand with the number of days that you have before your move day to your new house. Make a backward calculation of the number of days and prepare your daily packing plan. Start your packing with non essentials and leave the essential items for the last few days in order of importance that they have in your daily life (like your refrigerator and microwave oven should be the last to be packed).


• Make an assessment, that you would need some outside help or you are in a position to pack up your item's with the help of your family members. It would depend upon the time available to you, 
• Make a list of items that are too fragile to be transported without proper packing (crystal pieces in your living room etc). Such items would need proper packing material for safe transportation.
• Make sure that you have adequate amount of packing material available to suffice the volume and size of your belongings that need proper packing of wich we can supply.
• Don’t leave out things for the last minute; there will already be a lot to do on the last day- packing shouldn't be one of them. Start packing things at least two weeks before the final Moving date or let us as we provide a full package service.
• Find a house removal company in Reading which can assist you with moving your items. You can get in touch with RG Man and Van for hiring man power and a luton van to assist you with your house removals and Moving of items, if you’re Reading based.
• Get durable Boxes from your nearby store or we do sell boxes and packaging item's . The Boxes should be of all sizes, ranging from extra small ones to extra-large ones for the fridge and oven type things. You’ll also need bubble wrap, permanent markers, tapes, etc. Don’t forget to buy speciality containers for delicate dishes or jewellery, we do provide packaging items
• Keep similar items in a single Boxes, for example, crockery in one carton and makeup items in another.
• Write down the names of the things inside the carton on the top of the carton with a dark colour marker so that during unpacking, you don’t have to go through every single box to find something specific.
• Do a change of address and notify important parties about your move, such as, banks, magazines and newspapers you've subscribed to, credit card and utility companies. Also, ask your old neighbours to keep a lookout for your mail after you've moved out.
• Make sure you take the moving day off from work so that you can fully pay attention to moving out stuff from your old to new home.
• Defrost the Deep freezer and the fridge 24 hours before the moving day. Empty and clean it properly before moving it along with you, and once at your new home leave 24 hours before turning back on, to let the refrigerant gases to settle back down.
• Contact the house moving company you've hired, the day before moving, to confirm their arrival time and other such details.
• Your kids may be too young to help you or even understand the complexity of your situation. You would need to look after their needs while going through the Moving of your house. On the day of your move, please make sure that you have at least one meal prepared and packed to be carried to your new house, or find a local Takeaway's prior to the move in your new area, You would be absolutely in no condition to trigger your kitchen in the new house soon after Moving.
