The Room by Room

Guide to Packing Your

House

KITCHENYou should pack all the

items that you are unlikely

to need in the days before

you move. (Bread maker

etc.)

Pack your kettle last – who

knows when you will next

get a good brew?

Packed tinned goods but

get rid of any food items

that are likely to go off.

LIVING ROOMPack up all your random knick

knacks and ornaments first –

it’s unlikely that you will need

these.

If possible, you should place

all electronic goods in their

original packaging. If this isn’t

possible, we suggest using

anti static packing materials.

Disassemble furniture the

evening before the move.

DINING ROOMMake sure you leave

enough plates and glasses

out – one for everyone.

Wrap all other glasses and

tableware separately. They

should be wrapped in

tissue paper, making sure

that nothing is exposed.

Wrap all silver items in

bubble wrap.

BATHROOMThrow out anything that is

almost empty, looks like it

has gone out of date or no

longer has a lid or top.

Make sure all bottles are

sealed properly, otherwise

they will be leaking

everywhere.

Medicines that you might

need in the immediate future

should be packed with your

essentials

YOUR BEDROOM

Decide which items of

clothing you will need for

the days before the move

and the actual moving day.

You should keep these

separate to the clothes

you're packing.

Keep jewellery in a secure

box – don’t put this on the

moving van.

CHILDREN’S ROOM

Get them to help with the

packing as much as possible.

Keep out things that will

entertain them during the

move – handheld computer

games, books, puzzles.

Donate anything they no

longer need or want – old

toys, clothes, shoes.

OFFICE

Back up everything on your

computer – just in case

anything goes wrong.

Carefully pack all wires so

they don’t tangle – label

each box appropriately.

Your computer or laptop

should be packed in original

packaging.

Garage

Drain all gas or oil powered

items – this is extremely

important.

Group together large tools

and secure with strong cord.

Disassemble all garden

furniture to make it easier

for the move.
