How to Pack Living Room Furniture for a Home Removal
When packing your living room for a home removal, it’s essential to take the right precautions to ensure your furniture is kept safe during transit. Without the right procedures in place, you risk damaging your furniture or having lost items after your move.
At Carlin Brown Removals, we have over 20 years of experience in helping families move their homes, so we know a thing or two about how to make sure your furniture is packed properly before it’s moved. Here are our top tips for packing your living room furniture.
1. Secure all Drawers
Make sure all drawers are firmly secured before you start packing. You can use strong tape to make sure the drawers don’t accidently open during transit. If necessary, it can also be a good idea to remove drawers completely and pack them separately, as this makes them easier to transport.
2. Protect Fragile Pieces
Use furniture pads, foam packing paper or bubble wrap to protect any fragile items. It’s important to cushion them correctly to avoid any accidental damage or breakages. You should also make sure you label any fragile pieces of furniture so the removal team know to handle them with extra care.
3. Remove Any Loose Parts
If you’re moving any pieces with loose parts, such as shelves or tables with detachable legs, make sure you remove these parts and pack them separately. This will help eliminate the risk of the parts being damaged during transit.
4. Use Stretch Wrap
Stretch wrap can be used to protect the surfaces of furniture and also secure doors and drawers. Use this wherever necessary to make sure the furniture is tightly secured and won’t move around during transit.
5. Use Professional Removals
At Carlin Brown Removals, we understand that moving house can be a stressful time, so it’s important to make sure you have the right people on your side. Our professional team have the expertise and experience to make sure your furniture is moved safely and securely.
