Important Documents Remember keep these with you i.e. passports, certificates, driving licences etc. and any things that need moving should be in a box clearly marked. Also keep hold of phone and laptop chargers as you could need to use these.
Medications Ensure that any medication that will or might be needed is with you and not packed.
Appliances Cookers, washing machines, fridges, freezers and dishwashers should be clean, defrosted, empty and drained of water. Please disconnect prior to the move.
Garage Contents and Tools Please ensure that all tools are clean and remember that we will not move flammable materials. Make sure that petrol is drained from petrol driven mowers and machinery.
Packing If we are packing for you, it does help if you have things ready for us and items such as china, ornaments out ready for packing. If you are doing the packing, we can provide boxes and garment boxes. Clothes can be packed into wardrobe boxes and thus left on their hangers. If you have your own boxes, please ensure that these are strong enough and that sufficient wrapping is placed around delicate objects. Please do not overload the boxes as these have to be carried and also there is the risk of breakage. Some items, particularly books, can be very heavy once packed, so do not use big boxes for these. Remember someone has to lift them! It helps to label the boxes clearly as then you will be able to identify these at destination. Make sure you keep all important documents with you i.e. passports, driving licences, birth, marriage certificates etc. If these are packed away it could be difficult for you.
Children and Pets Children and particularly small ones, are better out of the way of furniture and objects being moved. It is best for them to be left with a friend or neighbour or otherwise kept in a room where they can play safely.
A house move is a frightening event for dogs and cats so we recommend ensuring their safety by either leaving them with a friend or in a kennel or cattery. If this is impossible put them in a secure room with a notice on the door saying that the pet is in there and better still put your cat or dog in a suitable pet crate or animal cage. It is dangerous for our staff to have stressed animals running around which could cause an accident and also there is the risk of your pet being so scared that they will run away. Ensure that your pet has identification i.e. collar and name tag displaying your name and contact telephone number and also destination address so that if they escape from your vehicle during the move they can be found and you can be contacted. In all the business of the move never forget them and make sure that they have sufficient water and food and are checked on regularly. If you are concerned about moving your pet contact your vet for advice. You are responsible for your pets, their welfare and the consequences of them panicking.
Aquariums are difficult to move when full of water and in fact can break, fall over and cause damage, so please put the fish in small travelling aquariums or large, strong plastic bags which have sufficient air in the top. We suggest you take the advice of your aquatic supplier.
If moving abroad, you must ensure that your pets meet the expected standard of the country in question. Paperwork needs to be completed by the States Vet in advance of the move. For cats and dogs, you will need a pet's passport and a microchip implanted. We suggest you discuss this with your vet well before the move. We do not transport animals and suggest that you contact the ferry company or airline with whom you are travelling for advice and speak to your vet.
Plants Water these the day before and make sure that the pots are well drained. It is a good idea to put the pots into a plastic bin liner to prevent any water or soil leakage. Put small pot plants into a plastic lined box. We do not store plants. Removals Jersey Removals UK Removals Europe & Overseas Complete Delivery Service Storage Facilities |
