10 Things People Forget Until Moving Day

/in /by

No matter how organised you think you are, moving day has a habit of throwing up a few surprises. Weeks of packing and planning can make you feel prepared, but there are always those little jobs that get overlooked until the removal van is parked outside and it’s time to leave.

At MooveIt Removals, we’ve helped hundreds of people move home, and we’ve seen the same forgotten items time and time again. To help your move go as smoothly as possible, here’s our list of the ten things people most commonly forget until moving day.

1. Packing an Essentials Box

One of the biggest mistakes people make is packing absolutely everything away.

Once you’ve arrived at your new home, the last thing you want is to search through twenty boxes looking for the kettle, phone charger or toilet roll.

Prepare a small essentials box that stays with you rather than going into the removal van. Include items such as:

  • Tea, coffee and snacks
  • Kettle (if possible)
  • Toilet roll
  • Phone chargers
  • Medication
  • Important paperwork
  • Basic toiletries
  • A change of clothes

You’ll thank yourself later.

2. Defrosting the Freezer

Many people remember this far too late.

Freezers should ideally be switched off and defrosted at least 24 hours before moving. This prevents water leaking during transport and makes the appliance much lighter and safer to move.

Leaving it until moving morning often creates unnecessary stress.

3. Taking Meter Readings

It’s surprisingly common for people to hand over the keys before recording their gas, electricity and water meter readings.

Taking photographs of each meter on moving day provides proof of your final readings and can help avoid billing disputes later.

4. Keeping Important Documents Safe

Passports, birth certificates, mortgage paperwork, contracts and house keys should never disappear into random moving boxes.

Keep these documents together in a clearly labelled folder that travels with you throughout the move.

Replacing lost paperwork can be far more stressful than the move itself.

5. Emptying the Loft, Shed and Garage

The main house often gets all the attention, while the loft, garage and garden shed are forgotten until the very last minute.

These areas usually contain some of the heaviest and most awkward items to move, including:

  • Lawnmowers
  • Bikes
  • Garden furniture
  • DIY tools
  • Christmas decorations
  • Paint tins
  • Storage boxes

Checking these spaces a few days before moving helps avoid a last-minute panic.

6. Redirecting Your Post

Although many services are now online, plenty of important letters still arrive through the post.

Updating your address with banks, insurers, your employer and healthcare providers is essential, but arranging a temporary mail redirection can give you extra peace of mind while everything is being updated.

Many people only remember after they’ve moved.

7. Charging Your Phone

Your phone becomes your most important tool on moving day.

You’ll probably need it to communicate with estate agents, solicitors, family members and your removal company.

Start the day with a full battery and, even better, keep a portable power bank with you.

8. Checking Every Cupboard One Last Time

We’ve found everything from jewellery and family photo albums to laptops hidden in cupboards after customers thought they’d emptied the house.

Before locking the door for the final time, walk through every room and check:

  • Wardrobes
  • Kitchen cupboards
  • Bathroom cabinets
  • Loft hatch
  • Under the stairs
  • Garden shed
  • Garage shelves

That final five-minute check can save a lot of heartache.

9. Looking After Pets and Children

Moving day is busy, noisy and often a little chaotic.

Pets can become anxious with unfamiliar people coming in and out, while young children may find the disruption overwhelming.

If possible, arrange for family or friends to look after them during the busiest part of the move. It allows everyone to stay safe and lets you focus on settling into your new home.

10. Taking a Final Look Around

When the removal van is loaded and you’re ready to leave, it’s tempting to simply lock the door and drive away.

Instead, take one final slow walk through the property.

Open every cupboard, check behind every door, look inside the washing machine and tumble dryer, inspect outdoor storage areas and make sure you’ve collected every set of keys.

You’ll leave knowing nothing has been left behind.

A Little Preparation Goes a Long Way

Moving house doesn’t have to be stressful. Most last-minute problems happen because of small things that are easy to overlook, not because of the move itself.

By planning ahead and using this checklist, you’ll avoid many of the common pitfalls that catch people out on moving day. Better still, choosing an experienced removal company means you’ll have professionals on hand who have seen it all before and can help keep everything running to schedule.

How to Prepare Large Appliances for Moving Day

/in /by

When you’re moving house, it’s easy to focus on packing boxes and organising furniture, but large household appliances need just as much attention. Washing machines, fridge freezers, tumble dryers and dishwashers are heavy, awkward to move and can be damaged if they aren’t prepared properly.

A little planning before moving day can help protect your appliances, your home and the people moving them. At MooveIt Removals, we’ve transported hundreds of household appliances safely, so here are our top tips for getting everything ready before the removal team arrives.

Start Preparing a Few Days Before

Don’t leave appliance preparation until the morning of your move. Some appliances, particularly fridge freezers, require time to defrost and dry out before they can be transported safely.

Ideally, begin preparing your appliances two or three days before moving day. This gives you enough time to disconnect them, clean them and deal with any unexpected issues without adding unnecessary stress.

Empty and Defrost Your Fridge Freezer

One of the most important jobs is emptying your fridge and freezer well in advance.

Use up frozen food in the days leading up to your move or donate unopened items to friends, family or neighbours. Around 24 hours before moving, switch the appliance off and leave the doors open to allow any ice to melt naturally.

Place towels around the base to catch water and wipe everything dry before transport. Moving a freezer that still contains ice can lead to leaks, unpleasant smells and unnecessary weight.

Disconnect Washing Machines Properly

Washing machines contain water even after they’ve finished a cycle.

Before moving day:

  • Run a final empty wash if needed.
  • Turn off the water supply.
  • Disconnect the inlet and waste hoses.
  • Drain any remaining water.
  • Secure the hoses with tape or cable ties.

If you still have the original transit bolts that came with the machine, reinstall them before moving. These help protect the drum during transport and reduce the risk of internal damage.

If you no longer have them, let your removal company know so they can take extra care when loading and unloading the appliance.

Prepare Dishwashers

Dishwashers should also be completely emptied before moving.

Remove any remaining water, clean the filters and secure the racks inside to stop them moving during transport. Disconnect hoses carefully and tape them to the back of the appliance to prevent them catching on other items.

Leaving the dishwasher door slightly open before moving day allows any moisture inside to dry out.

Clean Appliances Before the Move

Moving home is the perfect opportunity to give appliances a proper clean.

Wipe down external surfaces, clean inside ovens, remove crumbs from toasters and empty vacuum cleaners before packing them away.

Not only does this make unpacking easier, but it also prevents unpleasant odours from developing while appliances are in transit.

Secure Doors and Loose Parts

Fridge doors, washing machine doors and oven shelves can all move while being transported.

Use packing tape, soft straps or protective wrapping to secure doors without damaging surfaces. Remove any loose shelves, glass trays or accessories and pack them separately if possible.

This simple step helps prevent breakages during the journey.

Check Measurements Before Moving

One of the biggest surprises on moving day is discovering an appliance won’t fit through a doorway.

Measure:

  • Appliance height
  • Appliance width
  • Doorways
  • Hallways
  • Staircases
  • Access routes at your new home

Knowing these measurements in advance allows your removal team to plan the safest route and avoid delays.

Never Move Heavy Appliances Alone

Large appliances are extremely heavy and can easily cause injuries if lifted incorrectly.

Professional removal teams use specialist equipment such as sack trucks, lifting straps and protective blankets to move heavy items safely. They also know how to manoeuvre awkward appliances through tight spaces without damaging walls, floors or the appliances themselves.

Trying to move a washing machine or American-style fridge with just a couple of friends can quickly become dangerous.

Leave Gas Appliances to the Professionals

If you’re moving a gas cooker or other gas appliance, never attempt to disconnect it yourself unless you’re qualified to do so.

Gas appliances should always be disconnected and reconnected by a suitably qualified engineer. This ensures everything is safe, compliant and ready to use in your new home.

Let Your Removal Company Know in Advance

If you have particularly large or specialist appliances, tell your removal company before moving day.

Items such as:

  • American-style fridge freezers
  • Range cookers
  • Wine coolers
  • Commercial appliances
  • Large chest freezers

may require additional equipment or extra team members to move safely.

Providing this information when booking helps your removal company prepare properly and ensures there are no surprises on the day.

Make Moving Day Easier

Preparing large appliances properly not only protects your belongings but also helps your move run more smoothly. Taking the time to disconnect, clean and secure each appliance means your removal team can work efficiently while reducing the risk of damage.

At MooveIt Removals, we understand that every move is different. Whether you’re relocating a one-bedroom flat or a large family home, our experienced team has the equipment and expertise to transport your furniture and appliances safely.

Things Are Looking Up for Removals in 2026

/in , /by

After a challenging few years for the housing market and the removals industry, there are finally signs that things are looking up as we move through 2026. For homeowners, renters, and businesses alike, renewed confidence, stabilising interest rates, and a gradual increase in property transactions are creating a much healthier environment for moving.

At MooveIt Removals in Doncaster, we’ve already started to feel a shift. Enquiries are up, bookings are becoming more consistent, and customers seem far more positive about making long‑delayed moves. Many people who put their plans on hold during periods of economic uncertainty are now ready to take the next step.

One of the biggest drivers is confidence returning to the property market. With mortgage products becoming more competitive again and inflation easing, buyers and sellers are finding it easier to plan ahead. That confidence naturally feeds into the removals sector. When people feel secure about their finances and future, they are much more likely to move home, upsize, downsize, or relocate for work.

We’re also seeing more flexibility in how people move. Hybrid working has become the norm for many, which means families are no longer tied to city centres. Areas like Doncaster and South Yorkshire are becoming even more attractive thanks to good transport links, more affordable housing, and a better work‑life balance. That trend is expected to continue throughout 2026 and beyond.

For customers, this is great news. A busier, healthier removals market means more availability, more choice, and better service standards. At MooveIt Removals, we’ve invested in our vehicles, equipment, and training to make sure we’re ready for the increased demand. Our goal is simple: to make every move as smooth, stress‑free, and efficient as possible.

If you’re thinking about moving this year, now is an excellent time to start planning. Booking early gives you more flexibility on dates and helps you secure a trusted local removals company. With the outlook for 2026 looking brighter than it has for a while, it’s the perfect moment to turn moving plans into reality.

How MooveIt Makes Cold-Weather Moves Easy

/in /by

The temperature has been sub zero this last week! Winter isn’t always the ideal time to move home — darker days, icy paths, unpredictable weather, and slower traffic can all add stress to the process. But people don’t stop buying and selling homes just because it’s cold outside, and at MooveIt Removals, we’re proud to be Doncaster’s winter-move specialists.

The key to a smooth winter relocation is preparation. Our team arrives fully equipped with protective floor coverings, waterproof wraps, heavy-duty blankets and secure loading techniques to ensure your belongings stay dry and damage-free. Whether it’s snow, rain or frost, every item is handled with extra care, especially electronics and wooden furniture that can be sensitive to cold and moisture.

Icy driveways, slippy steps and narrow streets can slow down the day if not managed properly, which is why MooveIt always conducts a winter-specific risk assessment. We lay anti-slip mats, clear walkways, and plan loading routes that keep everyone safe. Our vans are maintained year-round and fitted for tough winter conditions, reducing delays and giving you confidence that your move will go ahead smoothly, whatever the weather.

Another hidden benefit of winter moves is availability. With summer being the busiest time for removals, choosing a winter date often means more flexibility, more choice, and less pressure. MooveIt works closely with estate agents and solicitors during high-stress completion days to make sure you’re moved out on time and settled in before the winter evening sets in.

Even in the coldest weather, our team brings the same friendly, reliable service we’re known for. Winter moves may require more planning and patience, but with MooveIt on your side, you can settle into your new home without the seasonal stress. When the temperatures drop, our service rises.

🏠 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.
