Read Your Contract Carefully
When purchasing your dream new build home it is always wise to read and understand every thing in the small print.

Get The Measurements
Measure the items you have, like cooker, washing machine or fridge and then measure the place where you would like to put them in your new home, this will save disappointment on removals day if they don’t fit in the correct spaces.

On Removals Day
Lay down some floor protection, we recommend covering the majority of the floor to avoid carpets getting dirty, especially in wet weather and when builders and removal men are in and out. Dismantle large furniture for easy access into your new home, if necessary ask your builders to take a window out to put large sofa’s or bulky furniture in.

With all the stress and excitement adults face when moving home, it can become easy to forget about how the little ones will cope with the change of house, bedroom, friends, schools and the move in general. Keeping the children informed and involved in the moving process will help them to come to terms with the changes and their new home environment. Provide them with their own storage boxes and challenge them to sort out their own items, you will be surprised at how organized they can be when given the chance.

House removals when moving home during the school summer holidays makes your life 10 times easier, as you will not need to leave the move unattended to pick up the toddlers from school, meaning you can delegate the move and movers to your satisfaction. The summer holidays will also give you the time required to settle in to your new home and unpack in your own time. We all know week ends can fly by really quickly and if you have tonnes of boxes and items to unpack the week-end might not be enough time.

Take the children for the day out to meet the new house. See what attractions the new area has to offer.

If the new home requires some DIY, not only will the school holidays be one of the perfect times to get the jobs completed, but you’ll have helpful hands to help complete those jobs with you. Children love to decorate their own room, picking their own colors or wall paper and some times matching curtains and bed sheets.

When booking a house removal during the school summer holidays, children can get frustrated that they will not be able to see or spend the school summer holidays with their friends. Parents moving home will experience this at some point during the move, especially for children from the age of 8 and above this can be a traumatic time. School Summer holidays are the times children have been waiting for, taking trips abroad with the family, relaxing with friends and exploring their community. Once this has been taken away they will need something to keep their mind occupied. Try to organize something for them to do once you have arrived at the new home, as they may get bored and agitated not being able to spend time with their friends during the summer periods.
