How To Prepare Furniture For A Stress-free Removal

Moving can be daunting, especially when it involves ensuring your valuable furniture arrives intact. Proper preparation can minimise stress and potential damage, whether you're relocating your home or business. In this guide, we’ll explore practical tips for preparing and protecting furniture and explain how professional furniture removalists can help make your move seamless.

Different types of furniture require tailored preparation to ensure their safe transportation. By following these best practices, you can significantly reduce the risk of damage:

• Disassemble Larger Items: Beds, tables, and cabinets should be removed. Label all small parts, like screws and bolts, in bags for easy reassembly.
• Secure Doors and Drawers: Use tape or plastic wrap to prevent accidental opening during transit.
• Empty and Protect Storage Units: Remove items from drawers and cupboards to lighten the load and reduce the risk of shifting or breakage.
• Wrap Upholstered Furniture: Cover sofas and chairs with plastic wrap or fabric protectors to shield them from dirt, dust, and moisture.

Once your furniture is prepared, the next step is to protect it throughout the move. Using the right materials and packing techniques can make a world of difference:

Packing Materials to Use:

• Bubble Wrap: Ideal for delicate surfaces like glass or decorative trims.
• Furniture Pads or Blankets: Provide a cushioned layer for wooden and metal furniture.
• Stretch Film: Keeps protective layers secure and prevents dust exposure.

Packing Tips:

• Position heavier items at the base of the truck to stabilise the load.
• Use cushions or foam to fill gaps and prevent items from moving.
• Label fragile items to ensure they are handled with extra care.
