Tips for moving

You'll be surprised how much time and effort moving can take. Even with our experts on hand, getting ready for your move will always take rather longer than you think. With this in mind, why don’t you check out our tips below – if you follow our handy advice, we can assure you that the whole process will go more smoothly.

Preparation and planning are essential components of a successful, cost-effective move.

The easiest way to save money is to do the packing yourself. Call at Essex Self Store for packing materials and friendly, professional advice.

Make sure you pack your belongings properly and label each box clearly. Pack your books and other heavy objects in small boxes so that they're easier to handle. Squat without bending over, and use your legs to lift any heavy objects. Don't forget to dismantle any larger items of furniture so that they'll fit easily through doors.

These steps will reduce the time it takes our movers to load and unload your belongings, and they'll help you save money on your move.
