| Moving Tips |
| |
|
|
|
| Before
you move: |
| |
| Fixed
Items |
| Arrangements will
need to be made to detach any fixed items such as pelmets, towel rails
of built in furniture. Fitted carpets should be professionally loosened
before our crew arrives and flat-pack furniture should be dismantled.
Our handyman will, by arrangement, be able to handle the above. |
| |
| Restoration
and Repairs |
| EuroMovers have an
in-house furniture restoration service. It may be worth considering the
benefits of having restoration work completed before moving overseas,
where restoration services may be costly. Small jobs can often be completed
in your own home. |

Walk
through your home with the crew leader to give him an overview of what
is to be done. Be sure that he is aware of any special needs or instructions.
Remember to keep keys, passports etc. to one side.
Call EuroMovers should you have any questions during the packing, which
the crew leader cannot answer.
Advice the crew of any items, which you will require immediately at destination
so they can load them last (if appropriate).
After packing is complete and before our crew has departed, walk through
your home to ensure nothing has been missed. Ensure that you retain your
own copy after checking and signing the packing inventory.
