Pack for the time before everything is unpacked
Choose the bedding, toiletries, clothing and simple kitchen items your household needs immediately. Add chargers and a small supply of practical cleaning materials where suitable. Tailor the contents to your household rather than packing a generic box nobody recognises. Keep anything required during the journey outside the main load.
Plan first-night moving essentials at your Blockley address
Protect vulnerable corners and identify box weights before the load leaves a Blockley property. Separate heavy contents into manageable packages where suitable, and tell the team about steps or slopes before handling is agreed.
Match the inventory to the actual carrying and preparation work. Tell us which items need help, whether you want packing or dismantling, and who will provide access at each property.
- For first-night moving essentials, prepare: keys and personal documents; bedding and daily essentials; chargers and receiving contacts.
- The street address does not describe the carrying route on a sloping site. Include the rise or fall from the agreed loading position to the doorway and any steps or tight turns.
Control important personal belongings yourself
Keep keys, identity documents, medicines and valuables under your own arrangements. Do not hide them in a box that may be stacked behind furniture. If an essentials box should be accessible early at delivery, discuss that before loading. Access priorities depend on the agreed load plan.
A final check before leaving
- You can find the new keys and receiving contact details.
- Everyone knows which bag or box holds immediate essentials.
- Any requested priority unloading has been communicated in advance.
