The most challenging task of moving is safely relocating the furniture especially the heavy items as they are more likely to be damaged while relocating. Large and delicate furniture is difficult to pass through doorways, staircases and narrow hallway, this increases the chances of the item getting damaged.
Properly disassembling and reassembling the furniture can make the process safe and will lessen the chance of damage. Here are some top furniture moving tips that can help if you are planning a residential move or doing an office relocation.
Assess your Furniture Before Moving
Before starting the moving process, do a thorough inspection of the furniture. Separate the furniture that can be disassembled like beds, dining tables, large wooden desks, wardrobes and TV cabinets. Disassembling will make the items easier to transport as the size and weight of each item is reduced significantly. Professional home movers generally ask you to make a checklist of the items that need disassembly
Keep the all the nuts, bolts at one place
When you are disassembling the furniture its important to keep all the screws, nuts and bolts together so that you can easily find them while reassembling. It’s best to keep them tied with the furniture item.Following this simple Furniture Moving Guide can help you save a lot of time.
Take photos of the furniture
Some furniture pieces are very complex in design. Many furniture relocation servcies take photos from various angles, before they start disassembling. This helps as reference and will save time and effort when its time to reassemble.
Protect Furniture Components
After disassembling, safely wrap every furniture part carefully with blankets, bubble wrap or with protective padding. Local furniture movers properly pack delicate furniture like glass panel, tabletop and wooden shelves to avoid damage during transportation.
Do not move furniture forcefully in tight spaces
Some buildings have very narrow doorways or staircases, moving the furniture can cause damage. It’s best to first disassemble the furniture and then try to move it through such space. Learn more about how our team works in our blog on how professional furniture removalists handle heavy items.
