Moving Tips & Advice From ABL
Make your next move smooth, safe, and stress-free with our expert advice.
1. Start Early & Declutter
- Start planning your move at least 8–12 weeks ahead.
- Declutter by selling, donating, or recycling items you no longer need.
- Pack rarely-used items first (e.g. seasonal items, spare linens).
- In the kitchen, begin using up pantry goods and pack lesser-used appliances early.
2. Pack Smart
- Label boxes clearly with the destination room and key contents.
- Use smaller cartons for heavy items (books, tools) to avoid overloading.
- Protect fragile items with bubble wrap and fill gaps with soft materials.
- Use bundling film to group similar items like plates or utensils securely.
3. Use a Trolley & Safe Lifting Techniques
- Hire or borrow a trolley to move heavy items more safely and efficiently.
- Always lift with your legs, not your back. Keep the load close and avoid twisting.
4. Make Your New House Feel Like Home
- Pack a “first night” box with essentials: kettle, mugs, tea/coffee, toilet paper, chargers, etc.
- Prepare quick-access boxes for key rooms like the bathroom and bedroom.
- Label these boxes as “Open First” so you can settle in comfortably.
