Moving day feels easier when the practical details are under control. This guide helps you keep the day moving, avoid common hold-ups and make sure the AGR Removals team can load, travel and unload efficiently.
Before the van arrives
- Wake up with essentials already packed separately.
- Move cars from the loading area if needed.
- Check that boxes are sealed and labelled.
- Keep children and pets away from busy lifting areas where possible.
While loading is underway
- Show the team fragile, heavy or awkward items first.
- Confirm which furniture or boxes are staying behind.
- Keep keys, paperwork and valuables with you.
- Avoid packing last-minute loose items into unlabelled bags.
At the new property
- Walk the team through the room layout.
- Ask for priority boxes to be placed where you need them.
- Check large items before final positioning.
- Do one final van and property check before the team leaves.

Surviving Moving Day: common questions
