"The more time, the less stress Manny Sahmbi, director of Happy2Move, a removals company in Slough, says he and his team can pack up the average four-bedroom house in a day. Possibly even a five or six-bed house, depending on the contents. For people doing it themselves, he recommends a week for a one-bed, a fortnight for a two-bed and so on."
"It is easy to forget to take measurements in advance and then not be able to fit furniture into your new home. The sofa is a common one, says Sahmbi. We take it to the new place and it is too big to fit because of windy stairs or other access issues. In this situation and despite running a storage business too Sahmbi cautions against paying to keep things in a unit:"
Allow ample time for moving: removal teams can pack a four-bedroom house in a day, while DIY moves benefit from roughly one week per bedroom. Book more than one day off work and schedule time to unpack and settle. Treat decluttering separately from packing and complete sorting well before moving day. Measure furniture and access routes to avoid items that will not fit through doors or stairs. Avoid paying for long-term storage when possible; donate or give large items away. Use sturdy boxes rather than bags to protect belongings and simplify handling on moving day.
