Packing

Our strong advice is that you get us to pack professionally for you, it may cost you a lot less than you thought and actually save you money by cutting down the risk of damage. However, if you decide to self pack, start as early as is practicable. Have an area set aside where items that you are going to personally transport to your new home are kept, along with the cartons, bags and cases into which they will be put.

You must use strong cartons and proper packing materials. Ask Bearsby's to supply you with the professional packing materials we would use if we were packing for you.

Don't use very large cartons and don't overload them. Pack the least used items first.

Mark on the cartons:

  • What's in them
  • Which room they are to be left in.
  • If applicable - Fragile - This way up etc.

    Packing Hints & Tips

    China & Glass Line the carton with shredded newspaper and wrap pieces individually in tissue paper. Mark the box ''Fragile'' or ''Very Fragile''.

    Books For weight reasons, rule of thumb is no more than 30 to a carton.

    Plates & Records Stand on side, do not pack flat

    Bathroom Don't pack medications that may be needed on removal day.

    Toys Ask the children what toys they want left out and don't pack them.

    Washing Machines / Tumble Dryers Ensure that the securing bolts are in drum before moving.
