Check List for Removals

Moving can be a stressful time, so make sure everything goes smoothly by planning well in advance. Our easy-to-follow guide will help:

Talk to us about booking your removal
Buy your packing and storage supplies from here
Start sorting out your loft and garage. It’s a great way to get rid of things you don’t need – why not donate unwanted good condition old toys / books / CDs to charity?
Put important documents into archive boxes and label them clearly, you may need them when you get to your new home
Do you need kennels or a cattery for the move? Book it in advance.
Think about putting items of excess furniture into storage until you’ve settled into your new home – talk to the experts and find out how inexpensive it could be!

One month to go…

If you’re moving a long way, get your car service and tyres checked well before the journey
Register with local doctors, dentists, etc if you are moving to a new area
Confirm your moving arrangements with Larbert Carriers
Start putting items you don’t use every day into boxes
Could some of those items go into longer term storage to free up more room in your new home? Talk to us!

Contact the gas, electric, water, phone / TV / cable companies to arrange supplies for your new home
Let people know about your change of address – not just friends, but also companies (online shops, mail order, magazine subscriptions)
Organise your mail to be re-directed for at least three months

Put everything practical you’ll need to one side in a clearly marked box: tape measure, extension lead, step ladder etc
Get a box of the essentials together – loo roll, kettle, tea, coffee, mugs biscuits – and keep out any paperwork you may need tomorrow…
