Do last minute laundry. If you plan to store for an extended period, keep back clothes for the opposite season.

Ensure that the keys for your new home are going to be available. Two days before Empty, defrost and dry out your fridge /freezer if you are planning to store for any period of time.

Food stuffs cannot be moved into storage.If we have quoted to move your freezer with contents (over a short distance), place the contents in polythene bags so that they can be lifted out quickly to facilitate the movement of the freezer. Make sure any packets, bottles or jars are sealed with tape to prevent spillage. Pack valuables and documents and put in a safe place. Resolve parking problems. Sort out lift access if you live in flats.

One day to go Arrange for refreshments for the next day, bearing in mind that your cooker may be disconnected. Moving is hungry work, so pack a carton of tea and coffee, UHT milk, juice cartons, biscuits, fruit, cheese, and something easy and filling like cornish pasties. Also include plates, cups, serviettes, cutlery and sharp knife. Don't forget the kettle, a saucepan and a frying pan.

Plan the evening meal for move day. It may be easier to eat out.

Prepare plants for travel.

Get a good nights sleep.

Moving day Settle the children with their carer. If they are staying with you , organise a room with their toys and a few treats. Older children may want specific tasks, like packing their own personal box. The team leader will introduce himself and his crew to you. Show the team leader around the house. Keep the kettle boiling and the biscuits flowing so that everyone is refreshed.

Strip the beds. Keep the linen in a box that travels with you so you can pull it out for the first night. Once the van is loaded, walk around the house with the team leader to ensure all items to be moved have been placed in the vehicle. At your new home everything is unloaded and placed in the appropriate rooms and if quoted for, unpacked and unwrapped by the moving team.
