How to Pack Fragile Items for Your House Removal in Devon

One of the most important aspects of the house removal process is the packing. While a professional removal company in Devon will have the experience needed to move your possessions safely and efficiently, you can reduce the risk of any items getting damaged by packing your things securely.

Not sure how to correctly pack fragile items? This article is for you. As one of the leading house removal services in Exeter, Torquay and other surrounding areas in Devon, we know exactly what it takes to get your things safely from A to B. Read on to learn the best way to securely pack fragile items when you move house in Devon.

Know How to Pack a Box Properly

The first step in ensuring your items arrive at their destination safe and sound is to know how to pack a box properly. For the most part, this is common sense, but there are a few tips and tricks you can use to minimise the risk of damage. Tape the seams and corners of your box to prevent it collapsing, line the box with packing materials (more on that later!) and wrap each item with bubble wrap, towels or other soft materials. When it comes to packing, be sure to put the heaviest items on the bottom and the lightest things on top, and fill in empty spaces with packing materials to prevent things moving around during transit.

Use the Right Packing Materials for the Job

As noted, packing materials play a key role in preventing fragile items getting damaged. While it is possible to use everyday household items such as newspaper, blankets and towels to protect your possessions, for best results it may be worth investing in purpose made packing materials. From boxes to bubble blankets and everything in between, we can supply all the packing materials you need to keep your items safe from harm during your house removal in Exmouth.

Label Your Boxes Clearly

After you’ve carefully boxed your fragile items, the next step is to clearly label your boxes so it’s obvious that they need to be handled with care. Label every side of the box with “Fragile” and be sure to add an arrow to indicate which side should be facing upward. To make your Barnstaple house removal go even more smoothly, be sure to also label the contents of your boxes and specify which room it belongs in.

Discuss Your Needs With Your Movers

Finally, one of the best things you can do to keep your fragile items safe during your house removal is to communicate your needs with your movers. Be sure to let them know which boxes contain fragile goods and any other special handling requests you may have.
