Packing & Moving Day
Good packing isn’t about doing everything at once. Start early, work room by room and keep the things you’ll need immediately within easy reach.
Start Early
Begin with items you rarely use and leave everyday essentials until the final few days.
Label Everything
Mark each box with its destination room and a quick description of what’s inside.
Pack a First-Night Box
Keep toiletries, chargers, medicines, bedding, drinks and other essentials together.
Get started with our moving house packing checklist, find affordable supplies in our cheap moving boxes guide, and prepare for the big day with our moving day essentials checklist.
