How to Prepare Your Furniture for a Safe House Move
By Sandy Movers – Trusted Movers in West Drayton & Beyond
Whether you’re moving across town or out of the city, protecting your furniture is essential to avoid damage and save time. At Sandy Movers, we’ve helped move everything from delicate wardrobes to king-size beds — safely and efficiently.
Here are our top tips to help you prepare your furniture before moving day:
✅ 1. Disassemble What You Can
Remove table legs, bed frames, and wardrobe panels if possible. Keep all screws and fittings in a labelled bag taped to the item.
✅ 2. Empty Drawers & Cupboards
It reduces weight and risk of damage. Use boxes or vacuum bags for storage.
✅ 3. Wrap & Protect Surfaces
Use blankets, bubble wrap or foam sheets to protect wood, glass, and corners. We provide blankets on all jobs.
✅ 4. Use Tape Smartly
Avoid taping directly on painted or wood surfaces. Wrap with paper first if needed.
✅ 5. Label Everything
Mark boxes and detached parts clearly — this helps during reassembly at your new home.
✅ 6. Take Photos Before Disassembly
Snap pictures of cable setups, bed frames, and shelves. These help our team reassemble them quickly.
✅ 7. Book Professional Movers
