\"Packaging<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

One of the fastest-growing sections of the removals market has been the growing trend for small moves. Hamiltons Removal provide a range of packaging supplies from our base in south Norfolk that are suitable for all types of moves \u2013 be they commercial, domestic, large or small. Here we look at what constitutes a small move, and our top tips for ensuring it all goes smoothly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is a Small Move?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A small move can refer to the distance moved. Sometimes removals companies specify a certain radius or mileage between the two addresses. Sometimes the \u2018small\u2019 aspect means you are only moving some of your items or staff \u2013 remember this can include commercial as well as household moves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For students, it may mean moving to a new room or dorm at college or university. In the wider world, it may mean moving to a smaller property such as a flat, apartment, or bedsit, where a lot of the larger items may already be in place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It may also mean a partial move with some items to be moved later \u2013 particularly if there\u2019s no time pressure to complete (such as a first-time buyer who still has somewhere to live in the interim, such as their parents\u2019 home).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Top Tips<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thereare some key pieces of advice that are just as true for small moves as they are for large ones. Firstly it is important to make sure that everything is clearly labelled. By keeping a separate inventory you will always know where everything is and what you still need to do\/move. Packing as far in advance as possible will also greatly reduce stress and make it much more likely that when the day of the move comes, it will go smoothly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even if the distances travelled and the amount being moved are small, give yourself plenty of time to make the trip between the two addresses. Some things like bad weather or roadworks can eat into your journey time and add extra pressure if you are already running late or your time is limited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another important aspect is to get familiar with the moving vehicle you are driving (if you are doing it yourself). You don\u2019t want to damage your prized possessions if you aren\u2019t familiar with the steering and the brakes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Always make sure you have some essentials to hand (food, drink, teabags and a kettle), and be sure you know where any necessary paperwork is. In the same way, pack an overnight bag as if you were going to a hotel \u2013 that way getting ready for bed at the end of the day won\u2019t involve lots of unpacking of suitcases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are still plenty of advantages in employing a professional moving company like Hamiltons Removals for a small move.  For example, we have professional packers who may be able to help with large, heavy or fragile items, minimising the chances of breakages. At the same time, we also offer extra services like insurance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
