If you're moving house or relocating to a new office, you may need to pack up large items like sofas, fridges and wardrobes.

The experts at Carlin Brown Removals have been providing hassle-free removals for over 20 years, and we've put together this guide to help you pack and transport your large items safely.

Safety First

First and foremost, safety should be your priority when packing and moving large items. Make sure that any sharp edges are sufficiently covered to prevent damage or injury from occurring. Consider using Bubble Wrap or foam for additional protection.

Secure The Item

Before you start to move the item, make sure that it is securely attached to its base. If the item has drawers or doors, make sure to tie them closed with tape or rope. This will ensure that the item is stable and prevent it from shifting during transit.

Prepare The Item

Once the item is secured, it's time to prepare it for transport. Start by emptying out any drawers or shelves and removing any small loose parts such as screws or handles. If the item has any doors, secure them with tape to prevent them from opening during transit. Wrapping the item with Bubble Wrap or a furniture cover will provide additional protection.

Loading The Item

When loading the item onto the van, take extra care to ensure that it is safe and secure. Make sure to balance the weight evenly on the van and use furniture pads or straps to secure it. This will prevent the item from shifting during transit.
