Packing Tips

When you are moving t is important that you pack up items in a sortable fashion. Man and a Van Slough as a moving company carries out packing services for you. However, if you are not interested in packing services here is what we recommend you do:

Make sure to separate all items according to rooms
Label each box with the room they belong to e.g. Master Bedroom Room
If you can hold of coloured stickers, please use them to separate daily needed items to hardly used items
Make sure all fragile items are bubble wrapped or stuffed with blankets to make certain that they are not damaged

Get in Touch

Our colour coding system has worked beautifully over the many years we have been moving homes and offices. It is great as once you have moved into your new location you could just look for the box containing your necessary daily items instead of going through each and every box.
