Essential Packing Tips for Moving in West London

Packing Tips for moving in West London

Moving home or office in West London? Whether you’re relocating to Chiswick W4, Ealing, Acton, Notting Hill, Hammersmith, Shepherd’s Bush, Fulham, Brentford, Richmond, or Kensington, VANGO REMOVALS LTD is here to make the process smooth and stress-free. One of the biggest factors in a successful move is how well you pack. With our years of experience helping Londoners move quickly and safely, we’ve put together these essential packing tips to help you prepare like a pro.

1. Start Early and Stay Organised

The earlier you start, the less chaotic it feels. Begin packing non-essential items a few weeks before your move. Label every box with its contents and the room it belongs to—this helps our team unload efficiently and saves you time unpacking.

2. Declutter First

Before packing a single box, take time to go through your belongings and let go of anything you no longer need. Donate clothes, recycle old paperwork, and sell items you don’t use anymore. A lighter load means a faster, cheaper move.

3. Invest in Quality Packing Supplies

Use sturdy cardboard boxes, packing tape, bubble wrap, and packing paper. Avoid using bin bags or worn-out boxes. Fragile items like glassware and electronics should be wrapped securely and cushioned to avoid breakages during transit.

4. Pack by Room and Category

Go room by room, packing similar items together. Label boxes clearly with the room name and whether the contents are fragile. Group cables and accessories in sealable bags to prevent tangling or loss.

5. Prepare an Essentials Box

Keep your daily essentials (toiletries, documents, chargers, snacks, and a change of clothes) in one accessible box or bag. This will be your survival kit on moving day, especially for families or long-distance moves.

How to pack for a move?

To pack for a move, begin by gathering quality boxes and packing supplies, and organise your items room by room. Wrap fragile belongings carefully and label every box clearly. Avoid overfilling boxes, and keep heavy items in small containers. Don’t forget to pack a separate essentials bag for easy access on the day.

6. Empty and Defrost Your Fridge

At least 24 hours before moving, defrost and clean your fridge and freezer. Remove all food, wipe everything dry, and secure any loose parts. If you’re moving nearby in West London, consider using cool bags for frozen or perishable items.

7. Use Suitcases for Heavier Items

Books, documents, and other dense items are perfect for wheeled suitcases. This makes them easier to transport and reduces the risk of injury or box breakage.
