  • Checklist for Stress-Free House Moves in Brisbane

At Northside Removals, we understand that a house move in Brisbane can feel overwhelming—but it doesn’t have to. With decades of experience and a dedication to smooth transitions, we help you move confidently. Follow this practical checklist to stay organised, and rest assured your relocation will unfold without stress.

1. Early Planning & Booking

  • Schedule your preferred moving date as soon as possible.

     

  • Request a free quote via phone or our website. Provide details like pick-up and drop-off addresses, volume of goods, and any specialty items. We respond quickly with transparent pricing—no hidden fees.

     

  • Confirm insurance coverage and customised services (packing, unpacking, storage) to suit your needs.

     

2. Efficient Packing Strategy

Step

Task

Sort & Declutter

Donate, recycle, or discard unneeded items to lighten your load. 

Gather Materials

Use quality boxes, sturdy tape, and protective wrapping. We offer packing material and pre-packing services if you prefer.

Pack Smart

Label each box clearly with the room and contents. Keep essentials accessible (overnight box, basic tools, cleaning supplies)

Speciality Items

Let us handle delicate or heavy items – like a piano, art, sporting equipment – with care and the right equipment. 

3. Confirm Logistics

  • Reconfirm move details a few days prior. Expect our crew to arrive on time, stick to the schedule, and work efficiently.

     

  • Point out any parking restrictions, stairs, or access issues in advance to help us prepare.

     

  • Ensure appliances are unplugged and furniture is disassembled if needed—unless you’d like us to manage it.

4. Moving Day: Stay in Control

  • Be present or assign someone to oversee the process.

     

  • Provide clear directions and keep essential contacts (e.g. your move coordinator) within reach.

     

  • Keep valuables or important documents with you.

     

  • Do a final walkthrough of the old and new space to ensure nothing is missed.

     

5. Unpacking & Settling In

  • Guide us on where each box should go to streamline unpacking.

     

  • Inspect your items together—our team stands by their care, and insurance is included.

     

  • Give feedback or let us know if anything needs attention—we’re committed to your satisfaction.

     

Summary of Stress-Free Moving Steps

  • Plan early: Secure your move date and get a clear quote.

     

  • Pack smart: Organise, label, and consider premium materials or our packing services.

     

  • Confirm logistics: Keep us informed about access, parking, or special requirements.

     

  • Stay engaged on moving day: Supervise, direct, and safeguard important items.

     

  • Settle in smoothly: Guide unpacking, check belongings, and lean on our team if needed.
