Home Removals & Self-Storage in Burntisland, Fife

When should I start organising my move?

Start early! You'll want at least 4-8 weeks to ensure you have plenty of time to pack and move without feeling rushed.

Help! I have too much stuff!

If you're looking around your home and realising it's full of things you don't want or need, donating items is a great way to declutter and make your move easier.

When should I start packing?

Get packing as early as you can, making sure to pack those things you won't need first and leaving essential items until last. Prepare yourself with plenty of boxes, tape, bubble wrap, labels, and markers before you start.

Can I move without professional help?

You can, but it's not easy. Unless you've got very few possessions, moving home - and moving heavy furniture and other items around - is hard work. Professional movers can complete a move quickly and efficiently, no matter how much heavy lifting is involved.

How do I know what size van I need?

Depending on how far you're moving and how many items you have, you may need just a small van or multiple larger ones. Contact us and we can survey your possessions and advise on which size van you need.

What do I need the day before the move?

Before moving, we always recommend packing an 'essentials' bag with everything you'll need the night before - clothes, toiletries, phone chargers, snacks - so that you can pack everything else without worrying that you'll run out of something you need.

Who should I give my new address to?

Before you move, make a list of everyone who will need your new address. Not just friends and family, but utility companies, banks, and other businesses will need to know you're moving and the more notice you can give them the better.

How much should I tell my movers?

As much as you can! By keeping us in the loop about any fragile items that need special care or particular requirements you have for moving day, we can tailor our schedule to your needs and make sure everything goes just right. This also means letting us know if you've got heavy items in your home and whether there may be access restrictions at either end - for example, a staircase, a small lift, or a narrow drive.

Any advice for kids?

Keep them entertained and busy on moving day!
