Removals Stoke On Trent

Preparation is Key

A unit to suit you

Moving house can be a stressful time, but with the right planning and support, it doesn’t have to be. At Moving Circle Removals and Storage, we’ve helped countless individuals and families successfully relocate from Stoke-on-Trent to destinations across the UK and beyond. Here’s our expert advice on how to prepare for a smooth, hassle-free move.

1. Start Early
   Begin your preparations at least 4–6 weeks in advance. This gives you time to organise, declutter, and reduce the volume of items you need to move. Donate, sell, or recycle anything you no longer need.
2. Choose the Right Removals Company
   A reliable removals service makes all the difference. At Moving Circle Removals, we offer tailored moving packages, expert packing, and secure transport to suit your needs. Whether you’re moving locally or internationally, our experienced team is here to help.
3. Pack Smart
   Use strong, high-quality boxes and label them clearly with the contents and the destination room. Keep essentials like toiletries, chargers, and important documents in a separate box for easy access. If you prefer, our professional packing service can handle everything for you.
4. Notify Utilities and Services
   Inform your energy suppliers, internet provider, bank, and other key services of your move in advance. Redirect your mail through Royal Mail’s forwarding service to ensure nothing gets missed.
5. Prepare for Moving Day
   Ensure pets and children are safely looked after and keep a checklist to track progress. Let the Moving Circle Removals team handle the heavy lifting so you can focus on settling into your new home.

Preparing for moving day involves more than just packing – it’s about ensuring your appliances are safe, boxes are accessible, and your home is ready for the removal team.

By preparing efficiently, you’ll help Moving Circle Removals and Storage deliver a swift, safe, and stress-free moving experience. We’re here to support you every step of the way.

1. Getting Ready for the Removal Team
   On the day of your move, ensure all walkways and doorways are clear. Keep pets and young children safely out of the way. Set aside a box of essentials – items you’ll need as soon as you arrive at your new home – and let the team know not to load it. Have your phone charged and paperwork handy in case of any last-minute questions.
2. Preparing Appliances
   Start by disconnecting and cleaning your appliances at least 24 hours before the move. For fridges and freezers, defrost thoroughly and allow time to dry to prevent leaks. Disconnect washing machines and dishwashers from mains water and ensure hoses are secured. If you’re unsure, our team can advise you in advance or offer a full disconnection service where available.
3. Where to Place Your Boxes
   If you’re packing yourselves, organisation is key. Clearly label each box with its contents and the room it belongs in. Stack boxes against the walls of each room, leaving clear walkways for the removal team. Avoid overpacking boxes and make sure fragile items are marked appropriately. Try to keep heavier items in smaller boxes to make lifting safer and easier.
