5 Tips for Packing for a Move in Barnet

A man and a woman are packing boxes in a living room.

Moving to a new home can be a stressful experience, but it doesn't have to be. By following these five tips, you can make the packing process easier and more efficient.


  1. Start early. The earlier you start packing, the less stressed you'll be. Give yourself plenty of time to sort through your belongings and decide what to keep, donate, or sell.
  2. Label everything. Labelling your boxes will make it much easier to find what you need when you're unpacking. Use clear, concise labels and include the room where each box should go.
  3. Pack fragile items carefully. Fragile items should be packed in sturdy boxes with plenty of packing material. Use bubble wrap, packing peanuts, or newspaper to cushion your belongings.
  4. Pack heavy items together. Heavy items should be packed together to make it easier to lift and carry the boxes.
  5. Delegate tasks. If you have friends or family who are willing to help, delegate some of the packing tasks to them. This will free up your time so you can focus on other aspects of your move.


By following these tips, you can make the packing process for your move to Barnet a little bit easier.


Here are some additional tips for packing for a move in Barnet:


  • Get a moving quote from a reputable removal company such as Light Rock Removals. This will give you an idea of how much the move will cost and help you budget accordingly.
  • Book your removal company in advance. This is especially important during peak moving seasons, such as the spring or summer.
  • Inform your utility companies of your move. This will ensure that your services are disconnected at your old address and connected at your new address on time.
  • Change your address with the post office. This will ensure that your mail is forwarded to your new address.
  • Update your contact information with your friends, family, and business associates. Let them know your new address and phone number so they can stay in touch.


Moving to a new home can be an exciting time. By following these tips, you can make the packing process a little bit easier and ensure that your move goes smoothly.
