Five Tips for Successful DIY Packing
One. Ensure that you have Sufficient Packing Material.
It is essential that you have plenty of paper, bubble wrap, cartons and containers. You will also need lots of string and adhesive tape.

Two. Make Lists and Label your Boxes.
Make up a list to help you to record what's in each box or container. Devise your own system but keep it simple and ensure that it will allow you to easily identify where everything is packed. For example you could use numbered labels and cross refer these to a list or notebook.

Three.Consider a Colour Code System.
You may want to consider using coloured labels or otherwise marking your containers with a different colour for each room in the house. This will allow the removal men to place the containers in the appropriate room.

Four. Pack Early.
Start packing two or three weeks in advance. Keep only essential items aside until the last day or two.

Five. Do not Overfill your boxes!
Please ensure that you do not overfill your boxes and cartons, remember that they have to be lifted. Your furniture removal men are fully trained but they are not supermen. Also, boxes that are overfilled may break under the strain.
