A smoother move starts with accurate information about the route, access, items and timing. Use this guide to prepare the details your moving team needs before the day.

01

Decide what needs dismantling

Beds, tables, desks and modular shelving may be easier and safer to move in parts. Tell the team what you have so they can allow for dismantling and reassembly.

02

Clear the path

Remove loose items from hallways and entrances, keep children and pets away from loading areas, and make sure doors, lifts and parking are available.

03

Protect fragile surfaces

Furniture blankets, padding and wrap help protect timber, glass and upholstered items. Floors, corners and doorways should also be considered.

04

Explain anything unusual

Custom furniture, restricted access and heavy pieces change how a move should be approached. Accurate details lead to safer planning and a clearer quote.
