Planning well in advance and taking care of the finest details will ensure that your checklist for storage is exactly what you need to make this a stress-free experience. It is important to make an inventory of everything that will be going into storage.

The best way moving forward is by compiling a comprehensive checklist for storage.

• • Plan well in advance and tick every item off well in advance prior to the day of your move.
  • Booking your storage is perhaps the most important point to consider. It is imperative to make a comprehensive list of everything that is going into storage and whether it is fragile, and if there are any other important pointers that need to be mentioned.
  • Ensure the storage you are booking is both safe and secure.
  • What packaging materials do you require – do your items need to be wrapped or boxed with tape, bubble wrap or any other packaging materials? A tape gun is a brilliant investment and will save plenty of time and effort.
  • If you are smart you will select a storage company that will come to you, pack for you and take away the container – ready for storage, as this will bypass having to find removal companies.
  • Pack well in advance – weeks prior to the actual day of removal, if possible.
