Allingham’s has plenty of packing materials if you need them. Once you’ve gathered supplies, like sturdy packing boxes, bubble wrap, tape and marking pens, here are a few things to keep in mind:

  • Pack heavy items (like books) into smaller boxes, to avoid injury when lifting.
  • Place heavier items at the bottom of the box.
  • Wrap precious items carefully and individually. It is often a good idea to place a layer of cushioning, such as bubble wrap or a towel, in the bottom of the box.
  • Similarly, use towels, clothings or similar to fill empty spaces in your boxes. This will prevent the contents from shifting.
  • Label the boxes carefully, so you can instantly tell what is in each box, and which room they should go into.
  • Make sure to keep important documents aside, and don’t immediately pack items you may need soon. Some people like to pack an overnight bag with some clothes and toiletries, so they don’t need to rummage through boxes on their first night in their new home.

And remember, if moving day is drawing closer and you haven’t had time to finish all your packing, don’t panic! Just give us a call and ask for our assistance. Allingham’s is here to help.

Yes, when necessary, our team will dismantle furniture for the move, and reassemble it upon relocation.

We recommend that you empty your refrigerator and freezer, allow them to dry out, and wipe them clean before transportation. Make sure any magnets, photos, or other pieces on the fridge are removed, as they are likely to fall off during transit.

And if your fridge is going into storage for a while, we find that wiping out the interior with a little bit of vanilla essence can do wonders against mildew!
