Tips For Packing And Moving Bulky Items

Packing and moving large heavy items such as wardrobes, kitchen appliances, desks, lounges, and washing machines is a complex process that involves numerous tasks. Unlike handling light items, bulky items can be tricky and risky to pack and move. No wonder hiring professional removalists is the best option for everyone. However, we understand that not everyone can afford this option though our highly experienced  removalists in Ballina  will pack and move your bulky items at affordable pricing.

Here are the tips we recommend you to follow to minimise the risks of a DIY packing and moving process.

You need to prepare well before you begin packing, as it helps you to be systematic and successful. Make sure you have essential things like plastic wraps, bubble wraps, ropes, furniture padding, or blankets. Also have tools for removing doors, legs and disassembling beds, etc. Remember to measure every large item to ensure that it can pass through your doorways.

When it comes to having bulky items packed for relocation, taking apart everything you can is one of the best things to do. Disassembling large and heavy items into smaller items makes packing and moving much easier. However, not every item, for example, mattresses can be disassembled. Besides, you shouldn’t try moving a mattress on your own. Asking for help is better. However, note that with delicate bulky items like a piano, only a professional removalist can offer you the best help.

We also advise that you take photos before you begin packing as well as in the course of disassembling bulky and technically complex items. That way, you will use the pictures to easily figure out how to reassemble the parts without any hassle. However, to make the process completely risk-free and successful, go for professional help.

Since most bulky items are fragile, labelling them as fragile is a smart idea even if you bring in professional movers to handle them. That’s how to move them undamaged. Clearly labelling your bulky items together when disassembled for easier relocation also helps you to know where each part goes when refitting them.

When it comes to packing bulky items such as desks, wardrobes, fridges, etc, do not forget to empty them first. Once you remove the things inside and pack them, you can then tackle the items one after another.
