Moving day doesn’t have to be chaotic. With a little preparation and the right mindset, you can stay in control and even enjoy the process. Here are 10 expert tips from the Gold’s Removals team to help make your move smooth and stress-free:
1. Start Early
Begin planning at least 2–4 weeks in advance. Book your removals company, notify utilities, and start decluttering.
2. Label Everything Clearly
Use colour-coded labels or number your boxes by room. Mark fragile items visibly on all sides.
3. Pack a Moving Day Survival Kit
Include snacks, bottled water, a phone charger, important documents, and essential toiletries.
4. Don’t Overload Boxes
Keep heavy items like books in small boxes, and lighter items in larger ones. This makes lifting safer and easier.
5. Protect Your Valuables
Pack valuables and important documents separately and keep them with you.
6. Take Photos of Electronics Before Unplugging
A quick snapshot of the cable setup will make reassembly much easier.
7. Confirm the Move Details the Day Before
Double-check your booking time, addresses, and contact info with the removals company.
8. Keep Pets and Kids Occupied
Arrange for a friend or sitter so you can focus on the move.
9. Do a Final Sweep
Check every cupboard, drawer, and attic space before leaving the old place.
