How to Prepare Your Furniture for Moving

Your removal team will handle the protective wrapping and loading, but making sure small items are packed separately and walkways are clear will help the process go smoothly.

Furniture removal and transport tips

Preparing Your Furniture for Transport

A little preparation goes a long way when moving furniture. Here's what to do before the removal team arrives:

  • Empty drawers and shelves — Remove all items from drawers, cabinets, and shelves before moving day.
  • Disassemble where possible — Take apart bed frames, extendable dining tables, and modular furniture if you can.
  • Protect delicate surfaces — Use furniture blankets or old sheets to protect polished surfaces from scratches.
  • Clear pathways — Make sure hallways, doorways, and stairs are clear for the removal team.
  • Remove doors if needed — In some older properties, removing internal doors can create extra space for moving large items.
