[icon type=”vector” icon=”momizat-icon-314″ align=”left” size=”16″ icon_color=”#f48a00″ ]Even if silverware is in a chest, consider wrapping the pieces individually and reposition them in the chest.

Delicate Items:
[icon type=”vector” icon=”momizat-icon-314″ align=”left” size=”16″ icon_color=”#f48a00″ ]Be sure the items are well-protected with plenty of cushioning.
[icon type=”vector” icon=”momizat-icon-314″ align=”left” size=”16″ icon_color=”#f48a00″ ]Wrap first in tissue paper, paper towels or facial tissue. Then, wrap carefully in paper that has been wadded and flattened out.
[icon type=”vector” icon=”momizat-icon-314″ align=”left” size=”16″ icon_color=”#f48a00″ ]Small mirrors, plaques and pictures should be wrapped individually in tissue paper with an outer layer of newsprint.
[icon type=”vector” icon=”momizat-icon-314″ align=”left” size=”16″ icon_color=”#f48a00″ ]A bath towel or small blanket makes an excellent outer wrapping and padding for glass.
Lamp Shades:
[icon type=”vector” icon=”momizat-icon-314″ align=”left” size=”16″ icon_color=”#f48a00″ ]Never wrap lamp shades in newspaper, as the ink will soil the shade. Instead, carefully wrap each shade in three or four sheets of tissue paper, a pillowcase or a large lightweight towel.
[icon type=”vector” icon=”momizat-icon-314″ align=”left” size=”16″ icon_color=”#f48a00″ ]Use a sturdy box at least two inches bigger all around than the largest shade. Line it with clean paper, using crushed paper under the lamp shade to create a protective layer, but not around the shade.

Glass Table Tops, Marble Slabs, Large Mirrors, Paintings, Statues & Large Vases:
It’s best to consult with your moving company about custom-made boxes and crates for items of this kind. Paper should never be permitted to touch the surface of an oil painting.You will want to include any items with values exceeding £100 on your “High Value Inventory” form to receive proper valuation coverage. It’s important to do this so that in the unlikelihood that something should happen, you can receive compensation for your damage or loss.

Moving house with electronics can be a real task, even if you are just moving round the corner let alone to another city or in to storage facilities. Packing your electrical equipment can be a trouble some task sorting out the wires and cables, not as easy as packing clothing or bedding for your move.
The best way to pack your electronics safely and effectively when moving home
Electrical equipment is easily broken and can be damage easily if not packed and stored in the correct manner.
[icon type=”vector” icon=”momizat-icon-143″ size=”32″ icon_color=”#f48a00″ ]It is always best to get as much boxes and packing materials as you can before you start packing. However if you do have the original packaging that the electronics came in when you first bought it use these boxes as they will fit in perfectly. Many moving firms will supply you with any specialist removal type boxes you will need to pack your electronic equipment safely. This is the safest and most efficient way of packing your electricals, like your plasma t.v, computer, stereo system, speakers etc. When moving house with electronics you will need to pack them in double walled boxes these boxes are deigned to be strong as they have a double cardboard layer for extra protection.
[icon type=”vector” icon=”momizat-icon-143″ size=”32″ icon_color=”#f48a00″ ]Start the packing process a few days before your moving day, you may need to leave electronics like your computer unpacked as you may need them on a day to day basis, but items like your stereo should be packed days before you move. Try not to leave the packing until the last minute. leaving it till the last minute when you are in a rush and your belongings are being moved by the removal team it is easy to not pack your electronic devices correctly, which could result in them being damaged when being moved by the removal team.
[icon type=”vector” icon=”momizat-icon-143″ size=”32″ icon_color=”#f48a00″ ]It is best to dismantle all electronics before actually moving them, unplug from sockets, untangle all wires and take out any screws that are holding the equipment together. If your devices have ink cartridges in disconnect them and put into a bag for safe keeping and place back into the box with it’s correct device. Removal all CDs, DVDs and tapes from their machine to avoid damaging the laser beam in your DVD player or computer, put these items into a clear bag and place into the correct box, if your machine has a remote control wrap it in some bubble wrap to avoid scratches then place this into the box with the correct device.
[icon type=”vector” icon=”momizat-icon-143″ size=”32″ icon_color=”#f48a00″ ]So you can remember how to put your electronics and wires back together you can either use coloured tape to put on each wire and each connection point so you can simply math the colours together, taking a picture of the wires or numbering them all of these are good techniques for remembering how to wire your electronics back together at your new home (this will have to be done before you unplug any wires out of the machine).
[icon type=”vector” icon=”momizat-icon-143″ size=”32″ icon_color=”#f48a00″ ]Always use bubble wrap to fit around the device when it is in it’s box, as sometimes there can be a lot of room for movement inside. Make sure you have carefully wrapped the device in bubble wrap and put into a double or triple – wall boxes.
[icon type=”vector” icon=”momizat-icon-143″ size=”32″ icon_color=”#f48a00″ ]All boxes should be labeled very fragile and with electronics wrote on the boxes, you should also make sure that your boxes clearly state what way up the box should be held. When the removal men come across these boxes they will know to take extra care. All electricals should be handled correctly.

Are you living above a pub and moving house in Nottingham?
If you are living above a Pub and moving house in Nottingham you are going to have a lot of planning and organizing to do. Relocating your pub from one location to another is a tricky job, one best left to experienced professionals. The move needs to be handled quickly and efficiently to ensure you will be able to recommence business as soon as possible.
[icon icon=”info” size=”small” style=”simple” shape=”inherit” text_color=”#000000″ bg_color=”#f48a00″]Worried about loosing business
Bottles, glasses and stools are just a few of the items that will need to be moved. Since a lot of glass and breakable items are involved when moving from a pub to a pub these moves need extra care to avoid damaging any delicate items. Some may find it cost effective to take on the roll of wrapping and packing all the items ready for your move before the arrival of the house removals team
[divider icon=”” style=”simple”]
[icon icon=”info” size=”small” style=”simple” shape=”inherit” text_color=”#000000″ bg_color=”#f48a00″]Pub clearance
This is a good opportunity for pub management to have a clear out and dispose of any damaged or unwanted items. Old cardboard boxes, bottles and broken stools are just a few of the items that may have been gathering dust in a store room and can now be disposed of through our clearance service. It may be a good idea to delegate someone to sort through the items and decide what is no longer used or needed.
[divider icon=”” style=”simple”]
[icon icon=”info” size=”small” style=”simple” shape=”inherit” text_color=”#000000″ bg_color=”#f48a00″]Packing materials
Using the right packing materials is important.To help prevent or reduce the occurrence of accidents or damage it is better to use lots of smaller boxes to pack glasses and bottles as they are easier to move around than larger boxes once filled. Specialist box dividers are a good idea as well as wrapping glassware in bubble wrap before placing into boxes.
[divider icon=”” style=”simple”]
[icon icon=”info” size=”small” style=”simple” shape=”inherit” text_color=”#000000″ bg_color=”#f48a00″]Preparing for your pub move
Advance preparation should include looking for a competent professional house removals firm in advance. This will give you time to discuss all of your service options, including packaging and costs well before the scheduled date of your move. Other preparations when moving from a pub to a pub will include gathering of needed boxes and moving supplies. It is also a good idea to postpone restocking just prior to your move to reduce the amount of items that have to be moved

[icon icon=”info” size=”small” style=”none” shape=”inherit” text_color=”#f48a00″]Collect all of the keys, including window lock keys, and place them in an envelope together, ready to hand over to the new owner.
[icon icon=”info” size=”small” style=”none” shape=”inherit” text_color=”#f48a00″]Check your estate agents or landlord has the keys ready for when the removal men arrive at your new home and destination, as time can become money when removal men are waiting around for long periods of time.
