Home Removals – Moving Home?

It’s extremely important to choose a professional. Moving home can be a stressful experience. It seems as though you have a million and one things to do! However, by choosing the right mover, you will relieve yourself of much of the associated stress.

Our cargo services offer competent staff who are trained professionals who aim to make your moving day pass with ease. In addition to being competent furniture movers, our staff are courteous, helpful, and polite. We operate a truck complete with transit blankets, trolleys, and webbing.

We have our own warehouse with full CCTV and an alarm system. For customers who require mid-move or longer-term storage, we are happy to assist. We also offer full packing, partial packing, or owner packing services, as well as fumigation services.

Specialist Removals

If you have delicate antiques, grandfather clocks, or pianos, you are going to require a specialist to handle their relocation.

Our staff undergo special training to move such items and have all the necessary equipment at hand to do their job properly.

Packing Services

Packing is a crucial part of any move; get it wrong, and it’s a disaster! Our fully trained staff can assist you with all or part of your packing.

Track and Trace

For all our shipments, no matter what the mode – air, road, or sea – we will track and trace right up to your door. Emails will be sent for every shipment we handle up to the time of closing our file, and you are happy.

Storage / Warehousing

Outbound cargo services have a secure 1200m2 warehouse. Fully alarmed, insured, and under 24hr CCTV surveillance.

Packing Goods Yourself

Alternatively, you can pack yourself by doing the following:

Marking Boxes and Cartons

Tape boxes using two lengths of tape, the first through the middle and across the seam (to hold the box together), the second along the seam (to seal the box)

Do the same on the top of the box and write across the tape, using a permanent marker, the room where the box is to be placed and a brief description of the contents, e.g., BED 1 (shoes), KITCHEN (tinned food), etc.

Mark the appropriate boxes ‘FRAGILE’ to ensure careful handling and loading

What Boxes to Use

Small Boxes

Smaller boxes should be used to pack heavy, small items such as books, cutlery, and heavy ornaments. Long-stemmed glasses, delicate ornaments, very fragile china, glasses, and small pictures should also be packed in these boxes. Books, for the most part, should be packed flat. They may be packed on their edges, but never with the opening facing downwards, as this may break the binding. Pictures and records should be packed on their edges.

Medium Boxes

Medium-sized boxes are the most commonly used and are used for most other household effects, such as pots, pans, glass, china, ornaments, pictures, clothing, food, etc.

When packing china plates, they should be placed on their edges, never flat, on the bottom of the box in batches of three or four, with paper between each plate. When the bottom of the box is covered, continue filling with heavy china, Pyrex, mugs, bowls, vases, etc. On top of this place glass and china (pack glasses upright). Fill the boxes to capacity using soft items such as pillows, cushions, and towels. It is also a good idea to place soft items between each layer of china. Do not overfill the boxes; keep them square and in shape.

Large Boxes

Larger boxes should be used for lighter items such as clothing, light linen, shoes, bedding, toys, etc. You may also pack light pots and pans in these cartons. Keep back sufficiently large boxes for packing of bedding in current use and mark boxes accordingly, ie. Bedroom 1, Bedding.
