Place things you want to be packed together in separate areas, for example, air or storage, items not going, etc to avoid any mix-ups.
Anything we're packing should be left in its original place. It's easier and safer, for example, to pack glassware right from the cabinet that it's kept in.

The Packing Day

Show the team leader around the house and tell them exactly what is to go and what isn't.
Packing and moving house is very thirsty work for everyone involved. Keep the kettle boiling or cool drink and the biscuits flowing. It’s important to have a positive working environment.
Take a walk around with the team leader to ensure that all the items to be moved have been placed on the container. This is your responsibility to make sure nothing is left behind. Check behind doors, in cupboards and on the walls. You would be surprised how often people keep looking at a clock on the wall, but never remember to take it down. Once everything is loaded, sign the inventory list and keep a copy. We take care of everything from here, Thank you.
