Expert Packing Tips for Fragile Items
• Mirrors and Artworks: Use high-quality bubble wrap or specialised flat boxes. Store upright—never flat—for optimal protection during your move or while in storage. Valuable items should always be professionally crated for added safety.
• Electronics (TVs, Audio Equipment): Pack in original boxes, when possible; otherwise wrap securely in bubble wrap and place in robust cartons. Protect turntables, back up critical data, and store backups independently or in the cloud for disaster recovery.
• Batteries: Remove batteries from appliances and toys to prevent leaks. For details about safe handling, visit our blog What You Need to Know About Lithium Batteries.

Protecting Your Furniture and Metal Items
• Furniture Protection: Cover furniture with drop sheets or padded covers. Empty cupboards, remove detachable legs, and store items to save space and prevent damage during relocation or long-term self-storage.
• Metal Care: Wrap silver with acid-free tissue or plastic, and lightly oil steel or iron to prevent rust and corrosion while stored in our secure containers.

Storing Appliances and Machinery Safely
• Fridges, Freezers, and Whiteware: Clean and dry all appliances before storage and if possible, add a deodoriser to prevent musty smells. Never store items inside whiteware.
• Lawnmowers and Power Equipment: Drain all fuel and oil to reduce leak and fire risk, ensuring your storage unit remains safe.

Packing Boxes for Moving and Storage
• Heavier Items: Place books and tools in smaller cartons for easier lifting.
• Labelling: Sort and pack room by room and clearly label each box for fast retrieval at your new home or office.
• Books: Always stack flat to maintain their condition.
• Dishes & Glassware: Use ample padding, wrap individually, and stand plates on edge. Fill gaps and label boxes as ‘fragile’—never stack heavy boxes above them.
