Tape all large appliances & furniture doors & drawers shut
Empty any fuel from mowers & gardening equipment
Safely dispose of any gas bottles
Pack any hazardous materials such as pool chemicals, fuel, paint thinners etc to transport yourself as removalists will not move these items

Empty your fridge & defrost the freezer
Be prepared for moving day – ensure there are clear walkways for the removalists & secure any pets
Have someone at your new house to direct removalists, so your items go into the correct rooms
