Two weeks before the move
- Confirm the moving date and request a detailed quote.
- List large furniture and decide what needs dismantling.
- Check the floor, lift, stairs and parking at both addresses.
- Start packing items you will not use before the move.
One week before
Confirm when keys will be available and whether either property has a fixed moving window. If you are leaving or entering a shared Glasgow close, tell neighbours or the building manager when the stair or lift may be busy.
- Measure furniture against doors and stair turns.
- Confirm the nearest legal loading position.
- Use smaller boxes for books and other heavy items.
- Keep furniture fittings in labelled bags.
Two days before
- Label every box with its destination room.
- Keep keys, medicines, documents and valuables separate.
- Empty and prepare appliances included in the move.
- Confirm the contact person and access time at both properties.
Glasgow access checks
Tenement stairs, narrow closes, controlled parking and busy roads can add carrying time. Send photos of difficult stairs and say how far the van can stop from the entrance. For more local detail, use the Glasgow removal-area guides.
On moving day
- Keep the route through the home and close clear.
- Point out fragile items and anything that must stay behind.
- Check cupboards, lofts and storage before leaving.
- Walk through the destination before the crew leaves.
For a quote, send both postcodes, the item list or photos, floors, stairs or lift, and preferred time. Read our Glasgow house-removal service for the full moving options.
