7 essentials for moving house

 

When the move is imminent, there are a lot of things to think about. Not surprising that you then have moments when you can no longer see the wood for the trees... Of course, the most important thing is that everything that needs to be packed is packed. And by 'packed,' we mean really well packed. For packing, you need protective packaging material. You can buy them from Britwrap.

The crockery you've saved up for in recent years, your partner's 60-inch television that he prefers to move with his own hands, or that (ugly) vase you inherited from your great-grandmother. These are just a few examples of which we understand that they must survive the move unscathed. But, with all those clumsy movers, that often seems easier said than done…

That's why: the 7 necessities for when moving!

 1.     Moving boxes

 No matter how you look at it, you must recognize a few goods, and sturdy moving boxes when you are about to move. It is, of course, attractive to stock up on the cheapest, but is that handy? Strong, sturdy moving boxes can now be found; no way that your hard-earned crockery won't make it to the new home!

 2.     Clothing boxes

When everything is finally in the new house, you don't feel like ironing shirts and blouses when you take them out of the boxes. But that's convenient because, with the clothing box (including plastic rod!), the clothing does not even have to be removed from the hanger and can go straight back into the closet!

 3.     Bubble wrap

The tableware may still be neatly placed in the box, but that does not guarantee that it will not break. Therefore, pack your belongings with bubble wrap before they go into the box. The way to protect valuables and ideal as a filler!

 4.     Moving Covers

Moving covers are available in different sizes and are fantastic for giving that little bit of extra protection to larger objects such as washing machines during the move. Store them neatly after the move because they can be reused! Also, use a mattress moving cover to store your mattress during moving.

5.     Tape with dispenser

Everything safe and sound in the boxes? Then it is only a matter of 'close the flaps', and Kees is done! Although, of course, you don't want those boxes to open sneakily during transport... Therefore, seal those flaps with sturdy packing tape! And believe us that a tape dispenser makes life a lot easier!

6.     Wrapping paper Turning

a box full of fragile items upside down is playing with fire. Pack fragile items with wrapping paper. This way, you prevent fragile items, such as ceramics and vases, from breaking during the move.

7.     Labels with marker
