How To Prepare Your Furniture For A Move

It’s important to ensure that all of your belongings, including furniture, are carefully and properly wrapped in a house move. If you carefully wrap and pack all of your furniture pieces, they should safely make it during transit. At Pers Removals, we can talk you through the different steps when it comes to wrapping you furniture. Read on to find out more!

Make Lists And Prioritize

The first and most important step is to make a list of all items of furniture that need to be wrapped and moved. Not only is this a great way to keep on top of what pieces of furniture you will be taking with you, but it also allows you to see clearly how much supplies are required for the wrapping process. By writing a packing material list, you can estimate how much wrapping and packing supplies you will need. It’s also a good way to establish a budget for the supplies required to wrap furniture for moving. There are a number of places that you can obtain high-quality and cost-effective packing resources from. Speak to us to find out more!

Clean Your Furniture Thoroughly

Cleaning your furniture before you wrap and/or pack it means that it will be ready and sparkling for the move and arrival to your new home. There’s no point in wrapping and packing furniture that is dusty or dirty. This will only make the furniture dirtier and give you added work when you reach your new home. You should also fully empty the contents of your furniture as it may be difficult to move if there are still things inside.

Disassemble to Wrap Furniture for Moving

Some items of furniture will need to be disassembled before they can be moved. If it’s easier to wrap furniture for moving after it has been disassembled, do so, and store the nuts and bolts in a safe place. There’s nothing worse than arriving at your new home to have important parts of your furniture missing.

What Our Clients Say

‘This is just to thank you and your team for the fantastic service during my move from Crouch End to Bexley. Everything was packed beautifully and the crew who moved me were fantastic, remaining friendly and good-humoured throughout. The piano was successfully moved from the first floor and everything arrived intact. It was really worth having the packing service as well, and my stress levels were kept well under control, so well done!’

‘Excellent company – gave me a really good price and fantastic service. We had the full packing service on the Monday, then they finished packing, and moved us on the Tuesday – on time and on schedule. Kav even had five guys on the job, on the Tuesday morning, which kept us on schedule. No breakages, everything was well packed: highly recommended.
We’ll be moving again in the next year, this time with a piano – we hope to use Pers Removals again!’

‘Three charming chaps arrived to move my piano from Maidenhead to West London. They took time to plan the moving process and communicated well with each other. They had several steps to cope with inside the house, and a few outside. I was expecting the piano to be bumped about – but not at all. Such care was taken – the piano could have been a newborn baby and would have come to no harm! Now that I have found Pers I will definitely use them again.’
