Top 10 Tips for a Stress-Free House Move in High Peak

Moving house can be exciting, but it’s also notorious as being one of life’s more stressful events. At A2B Removals, we’ve helped countless residents relocate smoothly, so we know what it takes to make a move as hassle-free as possible. Whether you’re moving within High Peak to nearby towns or even further afield to a city, these expert tips will help you stay organised and remain stress-free.

1. Plan Your Move Early

The sooner you start planning, the better. Create a checklist of tasks, including booking your chosen removal company, notifying utility providers, and sorting through your belongings. Give yourself at least 4-6 weeks to prepare, especially if you’re moving during peak seasons.

2. Declutter Before You Pack

Moving is the perfect opportunity to get rid of unwanted items. Go through each room and decide what to keep, donate, sell, or recycle. Less clutter means fewer boxes and lower moving costs.

3. Book a Trusted Removal Company

Hiring our reliable removal company in High Peak can make all the difference. A2B Removals offers: 

✔ Experience in handling moves of all sizes

✔ Great reviews from local customers

✔ Fully insured services for peace of mindOur team is always professional, fully insured and highly rated! Get in touch to book our house moving services.

4. Pack Smart & Label Everything

Packing properly will save you time and stress when unpacking. Use sturdy boxes, wrap fragile items securely, and label everything clearly with the room it belongs to. For an even easier move, consider our professional packing service.

5. Keep Essentials Handy

Pack a separate “essentials box” with items you’ll need immediately after moving, such as:

✔ Important documents

✔ Phone chargers

✔ Toiletries

✔ Snacks and drinks

✔ A change of clothes

6. Notify Utility Providers & Change Your Address

Before moving day, contact your utility providers (gas, electricity, water, internet) to arrange service transfers. Don’t forget to update your address with:

✔ Banks and insurance providers

✔ DVLA (for your driving licence and vehicle registration)

✔ Your employer and GP

7. Consider Storage for a Smoother Transition

If your new home isn’t ready yet or you need extra space, using a secure storage facility can be a great solution. A2B Removals partners with Apex Storage in Glossop to offer flexible, local and insured storage options.

8. Arrange Child & Pet Care on Moving Day

Moving day can be chaotic, especially with young children or pets around. Arrange for a friend, family member, or pet sitter to look after them so you can focus on the move.

9. Do a Final Walkthrough

Before leaving your old home, do a final walkthrough to check:

✔ All belongings are packed

✔ Windows and doors are locked

✔ Meters are read for utilities

✔ Keys are handed over

10. Settle in & Unpack Strategically

Start by unpacking essentials, then move room by room. Take your time settling in, and don’t rush to unpack everything at once. If you need help reassembling furniture, our furniture dismantling and reassembly service can save you time.
