Things People Forget When Moving (But You Shouldn’t!)
Even the most organised movers can forget a few things in the chaos of moving day. At Crazy Removals, we’ve seen it all — and we’re here to help you avoid the most common slip-ups.
🔌 1. Cancel or Transfer Utilities
Don’t forget to notify your gas, electric, water, internet, and council tax providers. You don’t want to pay for someone else’s usage!
📬 2. Redirect Your Mail
Set up a Royal Mail redirection to make sure important letters don’t get lost in the move.
🧹 3. Clean the Old Place
Whether it’s for a landlord inspection or just good manners, give your old home a final clean before handing over the keys.
🛠️ 4. Tools & Chargers
Phone chargers, screwdrivers, Allen keys — these always seem to disappear on moving day. Keep them in a clearly marked “essentials” box.
🐾 5. Pet Plans
Moving can be stressful for pets. Arrange a quiet space or temporary care for them while the chaos unfolds.
🧾 6. Take Meter Readings
Snap a photo of your gas, electric, and water meters before you leave. It’ll save you from billing headaches later.
🧳 7. Overnight Bag
Pack like you’re going on a weekend trip — clothes, toiletries, medication, and snacks. You’ll thank yourself later.
🗝️ 8. Spare Keys
Collect any spare keys you’ve given to friends, neighbours, or family. And don’t forget to hand over all sets to the new owner or agent.
📦 9. Hidden Items
Check lofts, sheds, garages, and behind furniture. You’d be surprised how many people leave behind garden tools or Christmas decorations!
🚚 10. Book the Right Movers
Last but not least — make sure you’ve booked a reliable, friendly, and professional team. (Hint: That’s us!)
