MAKE A LIST

The key to a stress-free move starts with proper planning. Before you start packing, create a detailed list to stay organized and ensure nothing gets overlooked. Here’s what to include in your checklist:

  • List everything that needs to be packed – Go room by room and note down all the items you’ll be taking with you. This will help you keep track of your belongings and avoid last-minute chaos.

  • Get packing materials for personal and valuable items – While MAG’S Removals provides packing materials for most of your belongings, make sure you have special packaging for personal and valuable items, such as important documents, jewelry, and sentimental keepsakes. Consider using lockable boxes or secure bags for extra protection.

  • Arrange a survey with your moving company – Schedule a pre-move survey with MAG’S Removals to get an accurate quote and discuss any special requirements for your move.

  • Look into temporary storage – If you need extra space between moving out and settling in, consider booking temporary storage for items you don’t immediately need in your new home.

By following these steps, you’ll set yourself up for a smooth and efficient move with MAG’S Removals!

SAY GOODBYE TO UNUSED STUFF

Before packing up everything you own, take the time to declutter and get rid of items you no longer need. This will make your move easier, reduce costs, and help you start fresh in your new home. Here’s what to do:

  • Book a removal company early – Secure your moving date with MAG’S Removals as soon as possible to ensure availability and a smooth transition.

  • Get rid of unwanted items – Sort through your belongings and decide what to keep, donate, sell, or dispose of. This includes personal furniture, old appliances like fridges, or anything else that won’t be needed in your new home.

  • Use our clearance services – Need help disposing of large or bulky items? MAG’S Removals offers clearance services to take care of unwanted furniture, appliances, and other household items.

  • Recycle or donate where possible – Instead of throwing everything away, consider donating usable items to charity or recycling materials responsibly.

  • Decluttering makes moving easier – Removing unnecessary items before packing will save you time, create more space in your new home, and help you stay organized when unpacking.

By letting go of unused items before your move, you’ll make the transition smoother and start fresh in your new home with only the things that truly matter. MAG’S Removals is here to help every step of the way!

GET EVERYTHING READY FOR MOVING DAY

As your moving day approaches, it’s important to prepare your home and handle essential tasks to ensure a smooth transition. Here’s what to do:

  • Arrange parking space for the removal team – Make sure there’s a designated parking spot for MAG’S Removals at both your current and new home. If necessary, apply for a parking permit in advance to avoid delays.

  • Notify utility suppliers – Contact your gas, electricity, water, and internet providers to inform them about your move. Arrange for final meter readings and schedule connections at your new home to avoid service interruptions.

  • Make a list of final tasks – Write down any last-minute to-dos, such as returning keys, checking cupboards for forgotten items, and coordinating with your moving company.

  • Let us handle the packing – MAG’S Removals will take care of packing everything for you, so you don’t have to worry about boxing up your belongings.

  • Keep valuables and important documents with you – While we handle the heavy lifting, make sure you personally pack and carry essential documents, jewelry, and sentimental items for safekeeping.

By taking care of these final preparations, you’ll help ensure a smooth and hassle-free moving day with MAG’S Removals!

PACK THE BASICS YOURSELF

Congratulations, you’ve arrived at your new home! Now it’s time to get everything in place and make sure nothing is missing. Here’s what to do:

  • Guide the removers with a quick tour – Before unloading begins, walk the MAG’S Removals team through your new home so they know where to place your furniture and boxes.

  • Label rooms for easy unpacking – To avoid confusion, put up signs on doors using printer paper, white tack, and a biro, especially for bedrooms. This will help the team place everything in the right spot.

  • Unpacking and furniture assembly – Our team will not only unload but also help assemble furniture and put items in place, so your new home starts to feel like home right away.

  • Final sanity check – Before the van leaves, double-check that nothing has been left behind. Walk through every room and inspect the moving van one last time.

  • Prioritize comfort first – After a long day, set up your beds first so you have a comfortable place to sleep. Then, take a moment to relax—put the kettle on and save the rest for tomorrow!

With everything in place, you can start enjoying your new home. MAG’S Removals is here to make your move as stress-free as possible!
