Packing & Unpacking
If we are quoting to carry out packing for you our
consultant will discuss your requirements at the time of
his visit.
If you are packing, the containers provided by TBRC are
strong enough to permit stacking in the vehicle without
harming the contents. However you must ensure each
container is not filled above its top level, thus
preventing problems with sealing and stacking.
Try not make the cartons too heavy to lift. Half fill
these cartons and then top up with lighter items.
Self Assembly Furniture
This is not made to be flattened, moved and
reassembled. Liability will not be accepted by TBRC for
imperfect re-assembly.
This furniture needs to be dismantled before the move
day, either by the customer or by prior arrangement with
TBRC.
Attics and Lofts
Unless this is fully boarded the moving team are not
allowed to enter this area due to Health and Safety
regulations.
Please ensure the contents of unboarded areas are
sorted and placed in a convenient room.
Removals into Storage
Check that all personal papers and documents are
retained by yourself prior to putting your possessions
into storage.
Cookers/Washing Machines/Fridges & Freezers
These should all be disconnected prior to the moving
day.
The drums of washing machines must be secured to avoid
damage, with the proper brackets obtained from the local
authorised agents.
Fridges and Freezers should be washed out with
detergent to avoid unpleasant odours. They should be
dried thoroughly.
Curtains/Blinds/Items Fixed to Walls
These should be taken down prior to the removal day.
Clothing
For clothing already on hangers can remain on them as
we will provide special wardrobe cartons for packing and
moving.
Audio & Video Equipment
This is best moved in its original packaging if
available.
Any record deck and pick up of a record player should
be secured for transit in accordance with the
manufacturers instructions before the arrival of the
removal team.
China/Glass/Ornaments & Books
Generally, chests of drawers containing clothes can be
moved full - please confirm with your TBRC
representative
China/Glass/Ornaments and Books can be left in the
cupboards and on the shelves ready for our moving team
to pack if our packing services are required, It is the
customers responsibility to check all cupboards have
been emptied.
Food Stuffs
Food stuffs cannot be moved into storage.
When moving direct from one home to another, ensure
any packets, lids, bottle tops are secured and taped.
If we are moving the contents of a freezer, condense
into large polythene bags, so that the entire contents
may be lifted and refilled quickly.
Contents of Garages & Garden Sheds
These should be sorted in advance of the moving day;
any rubbish discarded, tools cleaned and bundled
together.
Any flammable substances, old tins of paint, creosote,
paraffin, matches, gas bottles or similar items, cannot
be carried by TBRC, as this completely
invalidates our insurance cover.
Pets
Pets should be sedated and travel with the family. The
most mildly tempered creatures can become aggressive
when the family home is being moved.
Access
Access to and from the doorway of your home is
critical for our vehicles. Please explain to your
neighbours in advance that a large removal vehicle will
be parked outside your home causing a possible degree of
inconvenience.
Long Term Storage
Washing machines and dishwashers must be completely
drained of surplus water as damp, mildew and seizure of
component parts can take place when these appliances are
not used for a considerable length of time.
