Moving house in the summer can be smoother thanks to longer days and better weather — but it still requires some planning. Here are a few top tips to make your summer move stress-free:

1. Book Early
   Summer is a popular time to move, so book your removal company well in advance to avoid limited availability.
2. Declutter Before Packing
   Take the opportunity to clear out unwanted items. Less to pack = less to move = easier day.
3. Protect Against Heat
   Keep essentials like cold drinks, sun cream, and fans handy on moving day — and be mindful of heat-sensitive items in the van.
4. Pack a Summer Survival Box
   Pack a small box with things you’ll need right away: kettle, tea, snacks, light clothing, phone charger, and toilet paper.
5. Update Your Address
   Don’t forget to update your details with banks, utilities, and subscriptions before the move.
6. Plan for Kids & Pets
   If you have children or pets, consider arranging care for them during the move to keep things calm and organised.

A little planning goes a long way. Happy moving.
