Practical tips for moving, packing, furniture delivery and shed projects — written by Adelaide House Move & Furniture Delivery.
A practical moving-day checklist covering packing, access, fragile items and timing.
Start with a room-by-room inventory, label boxes clearly and keep essential items separate so they are easy to reach on arrival.
Confirm parking, stairs, lifts and access details early. Good preparation keeps loading efficient and protects the schedule.
Measure doorways, check stairs and share access details before collection day.
Accurate measurements and clear photos help confirm whether a large or awkward item needs extra equipment or additional crew.
Tell us about stairs, narrow access, parking restrictions and the preferred placement room so delivery can be planned properly.
Simple preparation and careful loading reduce marks, movement and damage in transit.
Use blankets, corner protection and secure straps for furniture, and avoid leaving loose items inside drawers or cupboards during transport.
Load heavy pieces low and distribute weight evenly. Keep fragile items upright, marked and separated from shifting loads.
How to coordinate staff, equipment, access and timing for a practical office relocation.
Group desks, equipment and files by destination, then label each item so the crew can place it quickly at the new workplace.
Moving after hours or in stages can reduce disruption. Confirm lift bookings, loading zones and building rules before the move.
