Damage on moving day is rarely mysterious. It follows loose packing, tight stairs in Hexthorpe terraces, or glass sent unwrapped because you ran out of time.
Pack for the stair, not the room
If a box cannot survive being tilted on a landing, repack it. Do not overfill cartons, books need small boxes. Mark fragile on two sides.
Professional packing is the straightforward fix when work runs to completion week.
Furniture that needs planning
Remove glass from tables where possible. Corner sofas may need dismantling, photograph fixings in a labelled bag taped to the frame. Tell us about pianos or large mirrors before quote day.
Our furniture removals team wraps pieces we carry; your job is to say what is awkward.
Loading order
Heavy, stable items go against the van walls; fragile cartons sit where nothing can crush them. Crews do this daily, you help by not adding mystery boxes without labels.
Items that travel with you
Jewellery, laptops, passports and sentimental smalls belong in your car, not the lorry. Our terms list goods that should not be submitted without agreement.
Check at delivery
Walk through with the crew before they leave. Note issues immediately, claim time limits are in our terms and conditions.
