When it comes to moving house in South Wales, you will need to prepare yourself and your belongings for the big day. Moving house in South Wales will take some major organisation and it is recommended that you start getting ready for your moving day six to eight weeks before the removal is to take place. The following can be done after you hire a removal company to assist with the move:

Six Weeks Before You Move

At approximately six weeks before you move, you should contact the removal company that you have chosen in order to confirm your date and time. You should contact your utility companies at this time as well in order to put a stop to your coverage. This way, you will be sure that your utilities will not keep running if you are not present in the house. If you need new furnishings in your new home, you should also order these and schedule them for delivery to your new residence.

Four Weeks Before You Move

At about four weeks before you move, you should make sure to start cleaning and going through your belongings. This is a great time to get rid of items that you no longer want or need and donate them to others who are less fortunate. If the items are no longer usable, throw them in the rubbish.

Two Weeks Before You Move

At about two weeks before your moving date, you should have the house in fairly good shape and the only things in the house should be those things you are taking to your new home. Anything that is non-essential should be packed into boxes. If you need packing supplies, you can contact the removal company you have chosen and they should be able to supply them. At this point you should also inform anyone who has not been notified of you move that you are moving and give them your new address.

In the Days Before You Move

You should be doing final packing in the days before your move and you should have been contacted by your removal company to once again, confirm the time and day. The day before, pack all essential items and only keep out the things you absolutely need. Get a good sleep and prepare for your new adventure.
