The Service Specification you sign with your mover will clearly state what the company will be doing on your behalf and what you agree to do yourself. Find out if the removals firm can provide packing materials if you decide to do it yourself - they may well suggest how many you'll need and also how long before you move to drop them round. Insurance For peace of mind always insure your things to be moved. It is recommended that you take up the insurance cover offered by your mover, which is specially designed to cover the inevitable risks involved in moving house. If you are concerned about any items such as pets, plants, fine art, wine collections or antiques, discuss them with your remover well in advance, who will advise you.
Deep freezers Run down food stocks.
Although every care is taken, your mover is not responsible for the loss or deterioration of contents. Drawers Drawers containing clothes and other relatively light objects do not usually need emptying. As a general rule avoid over-filling drawers and do not lock them. Keep keys in a safe place. In theory kit or system furniture is capable of being dismantled and re-assembled.
