At this stage in your move it’s all about confirming important details in preparation for your move. If your removal company cannot provide additional services such as un-plumbing washing machines, disassembling/reassembling furniture and packing, it would be a good time to organise these too. On your moving day, you may want children or pets to stay with family members, meaning you can focus on getting everything moved efficiently.
-
Finalise details with the removals company – confirm times, emergency numbers, parking and directions
-
If relevant, check you have enough medication for the moving period
-
Arrange child and pet care for your moving day – give friends and family enough notice if you need help
-
Book people to carry out services if your removal company is not providing them e.g. house cleaning, dismantling of flat pack furniture, plumber for the dishwasher and washing machines
-
Safely dispose of all flammable materials and liquids that require specialist treatment – your removal company cannot move dangerous liquids
-
Cancel local services you receive and settle outstanding bills. Remember to consider any subscription boxes or magazines, along with newspapers, gardeners, cleaners, window cleaners or oil deliveries
-
Run down freezer foods and other perishables that won’t transport well
