Declutter

Moving can be a wonderful opportunity to get rid of things you no longer need.  And if your house is yet to sell, decluttering can even help to improve the value of your house.

We offer all our customers the chance to declutter and donate direct to charity, including the British Heart Foundation and Senese, just ask for more details.

Pack carefully

If doing some DIY packing, make sure you clearly label your boxes to show the contents of each box and which room it belongs in. Or better yet, leave it to us!
