Ten Terrific Things To Do Before Your Removalists Arrive

It’s time to go, so let’s get this show started! To make sure everything runs smoothly on the big day, there are a few things you can do backstage before the main performance before The Removalist shows up there. You will have to take care of business at your previous residence as well as create an environment at your new residence. We’ll guide you through both to make sure everyone is thrilled about your move.

Your Former Residence

The first piece of good news is that you have made a wise choice by using Town and Country removalists to help you leave your current location. Most likely, you will hire movers to pack your belongings, transport them to your new residence, and then drop them off.

Although movers are fantastic people (okay, we’re a little biased!), they can’t handle everything, so it’s not all that simple. In addition to packing quicker, if you help them with their planning, they’ll be able to get the job done better and faster, and your money will go up.

1. Remove all rubbish and unwanted furniture

It’s a good idea to give the removers as little work as possible before they arrive. In other words, the less they have to move, the more time they have to focus on the items you want them to bring with you.

You don’t want your wonderful new home to be cluttered with all the unnecessary items that were in your old home. Therefore, you need to start as early as possible with what we call the “mover’s mantra”. It’s as easy as selling, throwing away, recycling or giving away.

2. Separate Large Items

Your furniture may or may not be disassembled for you by your removalist, depending on the agreement you have with them. You should do this before the removalist arrives if it’s not already part of the package because you don’t want to be messing around with screwdrivers as they try to vacuum your house. Anything that slows down work should be avoided, especially if you’re paying by the hour.

3. Empty the Refrigerator

Start emptying your fridge and freezer a week before you leave because if you wait until the morning of the removals to arrive, it can be difficult to get everything done. The day before you leave you should have most of what you need for breakfast the next morning. Before your movers arrive, turn it off and take everything out, including the ice tray.

4. Tape Door Frames

If you’ve tried door tape on your furniture, refrigerator, and anything else with doors and drawers, your movers will really appreciate it. You will also be relieved that your fridge door doesn’t open the wrong way and neither damages your wall or damages the fridge door itself.

5. Eliminate the kids

Moving day goes more smoothly when you don’t have to worry about kids or dogs wandering around, running out the front door, getting hurt, or getting bored and out of control. Find a babysitter in advance and spend the day with them somewhere fun so you can focus on your work.

6. Label each item.

Make sure each box, bag or container you use is clearly labeled when packing. Labeling your things has a variety of beneficial benefits. This makes it easier for you to navigate between your things if you need to find something you’ve already packed. When being unloaded from a moving truck, the labels instruct the removalist where to place each item. The labels can also tell you whether the contents of a box are fragile and require special handling.

Your New Home

If you’re lucky, your new home may be in perfect shape and completely ready for you to move in. However, it is likely that you will need to do some preparation so that your movers can move your belongings in and complete your move quickly.

1. Start your utilities

Notify your utility companies that you are moving as soon as you have a move-in date. Make sure that your water, electricity, gas, telephone, internet etc. will be turned on the day you move into your new apartment and that you will not be paying for anyone else’s services at your previous location.

2. Manage Pests

It’s going to ruin moving day if you discover that your new home is home to unwanted creepy crawlies. Do a pest check at least a week before you arrive to make sure you won’t be worried about pests on moving day.

3. Check Your Smoke Detectors

Before you move into your new home, get the latest information on smoke alarms. Your protection can depend significantly on types and locations. Before moving in, test your smoke alarm in your new home and fix any that are broken. Additionally, it’s a good idea to have a fire blanket and a fire extinguisher on each floor of your home near the kitchen.

4. Make Amends

Once your furniture is on the floor, it’s too late to tidy up the corners of your room. Thoroughly clean your new home before the movers arrive when there are no obstructions in the way. Take advantage of it while you have the chance, as it may take some time to do a thorough cleaning.

5. Find Your Mains

When you move in, you’ll need electricity and water, and it’s possible that your movers will value being able to see where they’re going. Before moving day, find the location of these utilities’ mains to ensure that your removalists can transport your belongings inside without delay or danger.
