Moving house doesn’t have to feel like trying to fit a grand piano into a Fiat 500. With the right plan, you can relocate calmly, efficiently, and without leaving a mountain of waste behind. Below is our expert‑backed roadmap to a stress‑free home move in Ireland.

1. Plan Your Move Early

Download our free moving checklist and pencil key tasks into your calendar at least six weeks ahead. At this stage you should also book a free video survey so our surveyor can accurately scope your move and spot any access issues.

2. Choose Eco‑Friendly Packing Materials

Opt for recycled or reusable boxes, paper tape and biodegradable packing peanuts. If you’d rather leave it to the experts, our professional packing team use high‑quality, eco‑certified materials and can pack an average three‑bed house in a single day.

3. Declutter & Downsize

Less stuff = fewer boxes = lower costs and carbon footprint. Sort items into ‘keep’, ‘donate’, and ‘recycle’. Anything you’re not taking but can’t part with can be stored safely in our household storage facility.

4. Strategic Packing Tips

• Start with rarely‑used items like seasonal clothing.
• Label each box with room + priority.
• Keep an ‘essentials’ box (medications, chargers, kettle) handy.
• Snap a photo of cable setups for easy re‑assembly.

5. Notify Utilities & Key Contacts

Give at least two weeks’ notice to energy, broadband and insurance providers. Redirect post via An Post and update your address with banks, schools, and the Revenue Commissioners.

6. Moving Day: Supervise Like a Pro

Your dedicated move supervisor will oversee loading, inventory checks and safe transit. You can track progress live via our customer portal, so no nail biting required.

Pro tip: Keep kids and pets with a friend to reduce chaos.

7. Unpack, Recycle & Settle In

Start with bedrooms and the kitchen so you can eat and sleep comfortably on night one. We’ll collect used boxes for recycling, or turn them into a fort, we don’t judge.
