Moving house can be exciting, but it also comes with plenty of planning and decisions.
Being prepared makes the whole experience smoother, faster, and far less stressful.
Below we answer some of the most common questions people ask when organising a move.

​It’s best to book your removals company as early as possible—ideally at least 2 - 3 weeks before your moving date.
If you’re moving at a busy time of year (end of the month, coming up to bank holidays, peak summer time, late December moves), booking even earlier is wise.

Early booking ensures:

• You reserve your preferred date
• You get the best price
• The removals team can prepare the right vehicle and manpower

Leaving it too late can limit your options, especially if you need a larger van or multiple movers.

​If you’re planning to do your own packing before moving day, the right approach can make things quicker, safer, and far less stressful. Below are helpful tips to ensure your belongings are well-protected and ready for the Removal Van in West Yorkshire.

Start by giving yourself plenty of time to pack your things, it always take way longer than you realise !
Start early with those non-essential and little used items.

Some do but most removal companies in West Yorkshire  don't, because It's often more cost effective for clients to buy their own packaging like sturdy boxes, bubble wrap, tape, and packing paper from Amazon, Ikea, Online Box Sellers when you need them.
Ikea has some of the best boxes, that are strong and often don't need to be taped underneath due to the design.
​
Large rolls of bubble wrap can be delivered to your door through Amazon, along with bundles of boxes in the sizes you need.
Buy a quality Tape Gun and quality Brown Packing Tape as these will make your life so much easier when building and closing boxes.
Also purchasing a roll of Shrink Wrap (commercial strength Cling Film), as this is often handy to wrap around furniture to hold doors, drawers etc in place.

Please Note: Removals by Steve Advises you NOT to put brown parcel take on furniture items to hold doors or drawers closed, and it's also not to be used on appliances like Fridges. Its often difficult to remove the tape afterwards and sometimes a residue is left on the items that cannot be removed, Use Shrink Wrap !

​When buying boxes, please always buy "Double Walled Boxes" as this are less likely to crush when stacked up in your home or the van.
Buy a variety of sizes, books and heaving things can be placed in small to medium boxes and lighter bulky items into larger boxes.
When you build your boxes, use plenty of tape to secure the bottom of the boxes. Just folding the box bases will result in them opening and thing spilling out as the removal man carries them around.

When you are doing all your packing yourself, using proper materials is essential — strong boxes reduce the risk of damage, strong packing tape stops the boxes from opening, and quality bubble wrap gives fragile items the protection they need.
Be sure to order a mix of sizes so you’re not packing heavy items into large, hard-to-lift boxes.

Whilst purchasing your boxes you can also buy rolls of "Fragile" Stickers and others from amazon that are in a bold red colour and stand out, although you can just use a marker pen to mark boxes if you prefer.

Don't use brown packing tape on Furniture, Fridge Freezer Doors or Glass & Mirrors as you will often be left with a hard to remove residue on the items.

​Early 2007 I started moving peoples things for them, sometimes business deliveries, sometimes moving large furniture items people buy online (ebay, fb marketplace, etc) and sometimes full house removals. 
And over 17 years later I'm still here moving the same things for different people, I guess I must be doing something right for people to come back again and again, sometimes years later.
