Complete House Moving Checklist: Stress-Free Tips from Mooveit Removals

Moving house is one of life’s biggest transitions—and while it can be exciting, it can also be overwhelming without proper planning. At Mooveit Removals, we’ve helped hundreds of families and individuals relocate with ease. Whether you’re moving across town or to an entirely new city, our expert team knows exactly what it takes to make your house move as stress-free as possible.

In this guide, we’re sharing a complete house moving checklist to help you stay organized and on track throughout the entire process.


1. Start Early and Plan Ahead

The key to a smooth house move is preparation. Begin organizing your move at least 4–6 weeks in advance. Start by:

  • Creating a moving folder for receipts, quotes, and important documents

  • Booking your removal service with Mooveit Removals early to secure your ideal date

  • Notifying your utility providers and arranging service transfers


2. Declutter Before You Pack

Moving is the perfect opportunity to clear out anything you no longer need. Go room by room and decide what to:

  • Keep

  • Donate or sell

  • Recycle or discard

Fewer items mean fewer boxes—and a more efficient house removal.


3. Use Quality Packing Supplies

Using sturdy boxes and quality packing materials can make a big difference. Mooveit Removals offers packing services and materials to protect your belongings, including:

  • Heavy-duty boxes

  • Bubble wrap and packing paper

  • Tape and labels

Label each box clearly with its contents and intended room in the new house.


4. Pack a “First Night” Box

Pack essentials separately so you don’t have to unpack everything the first night in your new house. Include:

  • Toiletries

  • A change of clothes

  • Basic kitchenware

  • Chargers and personal items


5. Coordinate with Your Removal Team

At Mooveit Removals, we believe communication is key. Let us know:

  • If there are stairs, narrow hallways, or parking restrictions at your old or new house

  • Any items requiring special care (like antiques or electronics)

  • Your preferred timeline

Our trained movers will handle your items with care and professionalism every step of the way.


6. Settle into Your New Home

Once you arrive at your new house, the real fun begins! Take your time unpacking, and don’t hesitate to reach out if you need help with furniture placement or unpacking services.

We’re more than just a moving company—we’re your trusted partner for a seamless relocation. With years of experience and a reputation for reliability, Mooveit Removals makes every house move efficient, affordable, and hassle-free.

Top 7 Tips for a Stress-Free Spring Move

Spring is all about fresh starts — and for many, that means a new home or office! But let’s be honest: moving can be stressful. The good news? With a little planning and the right team behind you, it doesn’t have to be.

Here are Mooveit Removals’ top 7 tips for making your spring move smooth, simple, and (almost) enjoyable.

1️⃣ Declutter Before You Pack

Spring is the perfect time to clean out the clutter. Go room by room and donate, sell, or toss anything you no longer use or love. The less you pack, the easier (and cheaper!) your move will be.

Pro tip: If you haven’t used it in a year, you probably don’t need to move it.


2️⃣ Book Early – Spring Gets Busy!

Spring / Summer is one of the most popular times to move, so removal companies fill up fast. Book Mooveit early to lock in your ideal date and avoid last-minute stress.

Need a weekend or after-hours move? The sooner you book, the better your options.


3️⃣ Label Everything Clearly

Mark boxes with what’s inside and which room they belong in. It makes unloading quicker and helps you (and your movers) get organised at the other end.

Bonus: Use colour-coded labels or tape to make it even easier.


4️⃣ Pack a “First Night” Box

Moving day is exhausting. Pack a small box with essentials you’ll need right away: phone chargers, kettle, snacks, toilet paper, basic tools, a change of clothes, etc. You’ll thank yourself later.


5️⃣ Think About the Weather

Spring weather can be unpredictable — sunny one minute, raining the next. Use plastic tubs for delicate items and keep towels or tarps handy. Mooveit trucks are fully equipped for all seasons, so your belongings stay protected.


6️⃣ Keep Important Documents Handy

Don’t pack passports, leases, contracts, or moving checklists at the bottom of a random box. Keep them in a separate, easy-to-access folder — especially if you’re buying, selling, or renting.


7️⃣ Leave the Heavy Lifting to Mooveit

Moving is easier when you’ve got the pros on your side. At Mooveit Removals, we take care of:

  • Packing & unpacking (if needed)

  • Furniture protection & secure transport

  • Stress-free coordination from start to finish

We’re local, experienced, and ready to help make your spring move smooth.

Moving in Doncaster? Here’s What Locals Wish They Knew First

Moving house is a big job — and when you’re relocating in or around Doncaster, there are a few local quirks that can make or break your moving day. At Mooveit Removals, we’ve helped hundreds of locals move across the area, and we’ve learned a few insider tips along the way.

Here’s what Doncaster locals wish they’d known before moving day.

1. Know Your Parking Situation – Before the Van Arrives

Not all Doncaster streets are created equal. Some are wide and quiet, others… not so much. If you’re moving to a home with limited on-street parking or tight access, make sure to:

  • Reserve a parking spot in advance (if possible)

  • Let your neighbours know you’ve got a move happening

  • Chat with your building manager or council for permits if you’re in a flat or townhouse

Mooveit Tip: Let us know in advance if your access is tricky — we’ll plan accordingly with the right van size and equipment.


 2. Mid-Week Moves Are Smoother

Fridays and weekends are popular for a reason — but they’re also busy. If you can swing it, move mid-week (Tues or Wed) to avoid the weekend rush, both on the roads and with removalist availability.


3. Watch Out for Peak Traffic Times

Doncaster is no stranger to school runs and commuter traffic. The A19, A638, and around Frenchgate Interchange can get particularly busy during:

  • 8:00–9:30 AM

  • 3:00–5:30 PM

If your move involves travel across town, we’ll help you schedule it to dodge delays.


4. Be Aware of School Zones & Timings

Moving near a school? Be mindful of school pickup and drop-off times — it’s not just traffic, but parking congestion too. You’ll want to avoid moving during these peak times:

  • 8:15–9:00 AM

  • 2:45–3:30 PM

We’ll help you plan a move time that works around the chaos.


 5. Don’t Forget Local Services & Utilities

Doncaster’s got great service providers — but switching utilities, internet, and bins can take time. Be sure to:

  • Notify Doncaster Council for bin day changes

  • Arrange internet ahead of time (some providers have delays!)

  • Update your address on council tax, driving license, and local medical services


6. New to the Area? Check Out the Neighbourhood

If you’re moving into Doncaster from outside the area, here are a few local gems to check out once you’re settled:

  • Sandall Park – perfect for relaxing after a long move

  • Lakeside Village – for last-minute home bits

  • The Glass Strawberry or Jimmy Piggs – top-tier post-move coffee spots

  • Cusworth Hall – for a breath of fresh air and a little history


7. Call the Locals Who Know Moving Best

At Mooveit Removals, we’re proud to be Doncaster locals. We know the streets, the shortcuts, the timing, and the little things that can make a big difference on moving day.

Need a hand planning your Doncaster move? We’re just around the corner — and ready to help.

Moving with Pets: How to Keep Your Furry Friends Calm

Moving can be stressful for everyone—including your pets. A change in environment, unfamiliar noises, and disrupted routines can make them anxious. At MooveIt Removals, we know that keeping your furry friends calm during a move is just as important as packing up your belongings. Here’s how you can make the transition easier for them.

1. Plan Ahead for Your Pet’s Comfort

Before moving day arrives, take steps to prepare your pet for the big change:

  • Keep their routine consistent – Try to maintain regular feeding, walking, and playtime schedules.
  • Introduce moving supplies gradually – Let them get used to boxes and packing materials so they don’t feel overwhelmed.
  • Update their ID tags and microchip details – In case they get lost during the move, having up-to-date information is crucial.

2. Pack a Pet Essentials Bag

Just like you’ll need a bag with important items, your pet does too. Pack:

  • Food and water
  • Bowls
  • Favorite toys
  • Bedding
  • Medications (if needed)
  • A leash or carrier Having familiar items around will help soothe their anxiety.

3. Create a Safe Space on Moving Day

Moving day can be chaotic, and open doors or loud noises may make pets feel uneasy. Consider:

  • Keeping them in a quiet room away from the action
  • Asking a friend or family member to look after them
  • Using calming aids like pheromone diffusers or natural pet relaxants

4. Transport Them Safely

Whether moving locally or long-distance, ensure your pet is safe during transit:

  • Secure them in a carrier or with a pet seatbelt
  • Keep the car temperature comfortable
  • Stop for regular water and bathroom breaks if it’s a long journey

5. Help Them Adjust to the New Home

Once you arrive, make your pet feel at home:

  • Set up their bed, food, and toys in a quiet area
  • Allow them to explore gradually, one room at a time
  • Stick to their usual routine to ease the transition
  • Offer extra love and reassurance

Moving House in Spring: The Perfect Time to Move!

If you’re planning a house move in 2025, spring is one of the best times of the year to do it! The days are getting longer, the weather is improving, and the housing market is buzzing with activity. Here’s why moving in spring could be the best decision for you.

Better Weather for Moving

One of the biggest challenges of moving house in winter is dealing with unpredictable weather—icy roads, rain, and early darkness can make the process stressful. Spring offers milder temperatures and fewer weather disruptions, making it easier to load and unload your belongings.

Longer Days, More Moving Time

As the clocks go forward, we get more daylight hours—giving you extra time to get things done on moving day. No more rushing to beat the dark! Whether you’re packing, loading, or unpacking in your new home, the additional daylight helps make the process smoother.

A Busy Housing Market

Spring is one of the most active seasons in the property market. More people put their homes up for sale, meaning buyers have more choice, and sellers are more likely to secure a quick sale. If you’re looking to move, now is the perfect time to take advantage of this busy period.

Get Organised Before Summer

Moving in spring means you’ll be settled in time to enjoy summer in your new home! Whether it’s setting up your garden, planning a housewarming, or simply relaxing in a new space, a spring move gives you plenty of time to get organised before the warmer months arrive.

Let Moove It Removals Take the Stress Out of Your Move

At MooveIt Removals, we understand that moving can be overwhelming, but we’re here to make it simple. Our experienced team offers reliable, professional, and stress-free removals to get you settled in your new home without the hassle.

Why a Local Removals Company Beats a National Chain Every Time

When it comes to moving home or relocating your business, the decision of which removal company to choose is a big one. While large national chains may seem like a safe bet, local removals companies often provide a superior service that national firms simply can’t match. Here’s why choosing a local team, like MooveIt Removals, is the smarter choice for your move (in our opinion).

1. Personalised Service You Can Count On

Local companies thrive on their reputation within the community, which means they’ll go the extra mile to ensure you’re happy. At MooveIt Removals, we treat every customer like family, providing tailored solutions to meet your unique needs. Unlike national chains, where you might just be another job number, we focus on building trust and long-term relationships.

2. Knowledge of the Local Area

Local removals teams know the roads, shortcuts, and traffic patterns in your area like the back of their hand. This means fewer delays, smoother logistics, and a more efficient move overall. Whether you’re navigating Doncaster’s winding streets or heading to a nearby village, MooveIt’s local expertise ensures your belongings arrive safely and on time.

3. Flexibility to Meet Your Needs

National companies often operate on rigid schedules and processes, leaving little room for last-minute changes or unique requirements. A local removals company like MooveIt, however, understands that life happens and can adapt to your needs—whether that’s a change in moving date or extra help with packing.

4. Transparent and Competitive Pricing

When you work with a local removals company, you’re less likely to encounter hidden fees or inflated prices. National chains often charge more to cover their overheads, while local businesses, like MooveIt, offer honest, upfront pricing that’s tailored to your budget. You get excellent service without breaking the bank.

5. Supporting Local Businesses

Choosing a local removals company isn’t just good for you—it’s good for your community. By supporting a local business, you’re contributing to the local economy and helping small businesses thrive. At MooveIt Removals, we’re proud to serve the Doncaster area and beyond, providing jobs and exceptional service to the local community.

6. A Personal Touch, Every Step of the Way

Large national chains may have more trucks, but they often lack the personal touch that makes a stressful move feel manageable. At MooveIt, we take the time to understand your concerns and ensure your belongings are treated with care and respect. Moving with us isn’t just about getting from point A to point B—it’s about feeling supported every step of the way.

A busy morning calls for a well-deserved break. Our team recharges with lunch and a quick chat before diving back into the task at hand.

🚚 1:00 PM: On to the Destination

With everything safely loaded, we hit the road to the new destination. Our drivers are experienced and take extra care to navigate traffic and road conditions while ensuring your items arrive safely.

🏠 2:00 PM: Unloading and Placement

At the new property, the team springs into action again, unloading the truck with precision and placing items exactly where the customer wants them. We’re always happy to help rearrange furniture or lend a hand with unpacking heavier items.

✨ 4:30 PM: Final Checks and Farewell

Before wrapping up, we do a final walkthrough with the customer to ensure everything is in order. The smiles and thanks we receive at the end of the day make all the hard work worthwhile.

🌟 A Job Well Done
