Gather Packing Supplies

Before you can start packing your belongings, you’ll need supplies to keep them safe. Ask friends or relatives if they have spare boxes or use these resources:

• Bookstores – many bookstores will give away old boxes.
• Grocery stores – ask your local store beforehand.
• Department stores – check whether the store can provide cardboard boxes.
• Office supply stores - purchase various sizes of storage boxes.

You’ll also need packing materials such as bubble wrap, packing peanuts and tape. Once you’ve collected the necessary supplies, begin organizing each room so that packing is easier.

Pack Sensibly

Start by packing items that you won’t need over the next few days. Label all boxes clearly with contents and intended destination room. Make sure to leave enough time for packing before the Keep Moving man and van arrive. If possible, match heavy items to lighter ones in the same box such as books and knickknacks or kitchen gadgets.

Schedule Your Move Early

It may seem early, but scheduling your move with the Keep Moving man and van as soon as possible helps ensure smooth sailing on moving day. Give yourself several weeks or even months during peak moving times such as summer vacation so that you don’t experience any delays with unforeseen circumstances affecting availability. Our Plaistow man and van experts are always up for a challenge, so call us early to schedule your move!

Waiting For The Man And Van in Plaistow

When the Keep Moving man and van arrives on the morning of your move, there are still some last minute preparations you should consider:

• Check every room:
  Ensure that all furniture is dismantled and packed into boxes as much as possible.

• Make sure valuable items are packed:
  Always pack jewellery, money and other valuables into separate suitcases or containers before handing them over to our driver or team leader.

• Prepare refreshments for everyone involved:
  Provide drinks for everyone involved with the move such as our man and van drivers or any helpers from friends or family.

• Bring an emergency box:
  Put together an overnight bag with vital items such as toiletries, medications, phone chargers and other documents which can be easily accessed during the move.

• Clean up afterwards:
  The Keep Moving team will take great care of your property while transporting it, but sweep up any dust or debris before they get started.
