Moving equipment checklist: packing, tools and protection
Have the packing kit and basic tools ready before starting. Check what your moving company brings so you do not buy equipment already included in the service.
Packing materials
Prepare suitable boxes, packing tape and a dispenser, paper and cushioning, markers or labels and small bags for screws and fittings.
Useful basic tools
Keep screwdrivers, Allen keys, scissors or a suitable cutting tool, a tape measure and a torch accessible. Do not pack the tools you still need into an unmarked box.
Protection and cleaning
Set aside blankets or moving blankets, suitable wrapping, bin bags, cloths, cleaner and a vacuum. Match protection and cleaning products to the materials involved.
Check what the company supplies
Movers often bring their own trolleys, straps and blankets. Ask exactly which equipment and materials are included before buying or hiring more. Specialist equipment should be assessed by the people handling it.
Frequently asked questions
Should I buy a sack truck?
Ask the moving company first; it may bring suitable handling equipment.
How many boxes will I need?
Estimate from the contents and storage areas, not just the size of the home. Use the moving-box guide.
What should stay accessible on moving day?
Basic tools, tape, bin bags and a clearly marked essentials box or bag.
