If you’re moving for the first time then you’ll be incredibly excited, enthusiastic and optimistic; if it’s the second, third or fourth time you’ve moved, the chances are that you’ll be dreading your moving day.
Why? The answer is simple: if you’ve already moved before then you’ll know how stressful and disastrous a moving day can be. So why are moving days so complicated? When you’ve had months to plan for the day, why does it always seem to go wrong?
Here at Budget Storage we’ve put together the top 3 reasons for moving day disasters to stop you falling into the same traps as everyone else:
Ah the joys of packing! Let’s be honest, packing is one of the most boring activities in the world but it’s important that you do it right if your moving day is going to run smoothly.
People commonly run into trouble when moving because they have absolutely no idea which belongings are in which boxes and all of the boxes end up piled high in one room. Welcome to your unpacking nightmare!
Make sure you label or colour code your boxes properly so that all of the boxes end up in the right rooms.
So you’re busily planning your new colour schemes and furniture placement for your new home. You’ve spent an age organising paperwork and getting the date sorted so you quickly pop online and book the first removals company you come across.
One of the most common reasons for a terrible moving day is because the removals company you chose. Whether it’s that they don’t turn up on time, they break some items or they simply take too long about everything, if your removals company is bad, your moving day will be a disaster!
Choose your removals company wisely!
Over the years we seem to accumulate a huge amount of belongings and when you’re moving home, it’s all got to be packed up, hauled across the country and unpacked again in your new home.
Unfortunately, when you have a lot of belongings everything takes quite a lot longer and everything begins to run behind schedule! The less stuff you move, the easier your moving day will be and putting some of your belongings into storage is the best way around this.
Here at Budget Storage we specialise in providing affordable storage facilities to help to make your moving day run smoothly. Store the belongings that you won’t need straight away with us and focus on moving the essentials on the day; you can move everything else once you’re settled.

| Tagged budget storage |Moving day is drawing ever closer and the previous excitement is slowly turning into dread as you begin to remember the shambles that was your last moving day. Let’s face it, problems plague moving days; have you ever asked a friend how their move went without the reply being an explanation of every that went wrong?
Have you ever had a completely problem free, smooth and simple move? Of course not and here’s why:
All removals companies are essentially the same, right? WRONG.
- If your removals company turns up late, the whole schedule is pushed back
- If your removals company isn’t efficient, the whole schedule is pushed back
- If your removals company doesn’t secure your belongings properly, items get broken or damaged
You get the picture.
A lot of problems people experience on moving day is down to their choice of removals company. Do you research, read reviews and get recommendations.
As you’re happily shoving your belongings into boxes with no real thought, you have no idea how much your future self will hate you on moving day. So, as you’re packing ask yourself these simple questions:
- In a few weeks, will I know which box has what in it?
- When the removal men ask where you want a box, will you be able to give them an answer?
- When all of the boxes are piled high in the van, how will you tell them apart?
- Will you have easy access to the items that you’ll need as soon as you’re in?
…Maybe you need to rethink your packing plans.
Colour code boxes for each room so you and the removals men will know exactly where each box will be going. Pack the essential items into a separate box and make sure that you’ll have easy access to it straight away. If you do nothing else, please make sure that your boxes are packed room by room and labelled!
The more stuff you have to move in one go the more likely it is that something will go wrong. What else are you supposed to do? You can’t leave half of your belongings in your old home, your buyers will be moving in! Storage is the answer.
Here at Budget Storage we specialise in providing long and short term storage that can make your moving day go a lot smoother! Storing non-essential belongings while you move is a great way to take the pressure off a single day.

| Tagged budget storage |People would have you believe moving house is the most stressful thing you can possibly do. While there’s bound to be some difficult times, there’s no reason to fear your move date. Spending a little time researching useful hints and tips will help you keep control of your move and avoid feeling overwhelmed.
One of the most stressful parts of a house move is packing and unpacking everything you own. This can take weeks to complete and, if attempted without organisation, is likely to quickly turn into a nightmare.
Taking a little time to think about this process beforehand will greatly reduce the amount of stress you experience during the move itself.
1. Nothing guarantees a stressful move like leaving it too late to start packing. Start tidying and packing your boxes weeks before the move date. Completing a small amount at a time will break the job down into manageable chunks and ensure it does not become overbearing.
2. The next most important thing is to get good quality boxes to pack your things into.
Cheap cardboard boxes will crumble in your hands if the weather turns sour while you are moving or your items are too heavy.
3. Colour coding boxes is also a good idea. Use a different colour for each room in your house. This will make unpacking ten times easier, as everything will be organised and you’ll be able to tackle the job a room at a time.
4. It’s also important to know where your key items are. Keep essential things together, and separate them from the bulk of your packing. This way, you will have easy access to them at the new property.
5. Instead of moving everything you own in one go, just move the essentials to begin with and put everything else into short term storage. As soon as you’re in and a little more settled after a few days, you can move everything else in!
If you’re looking for a company that can offer affordable short term storage then look no further. At Budget Storage, we can personalise our service to suit your needs perfectly. If you’re arranging a move, we will help you make it as stress-free as possible; get in touch today!

| Tagged budget storage |The New Year is a time for new beginnings, a fresh outlook and New Year’s resolutions that will hopefully last longer than your cup of tea. All of the new leaves being turned over will get a lot of us in the mood to clear out our homes and get everything spick and span for the coming year; of course, you’re then faced with the dilemma of what to do with your furniture during your clear out project and then what to do with any unwanted items once you’ve finished.
Unfortunately, a home clear out project will result in a pile of furniture that you no longer have any use for but that you don’t necessarily want to get rid of all together. Items like wardrobes are a prime example of this; you don’t need the wardrobe now but when your children move out, they’ll likely need a wardrobe to furnish their first home.
For any project, large or small, your furniture will undoubtedly get in the way. Whether you’re repainting your home, redesigning the layout of the interior of your home or having your carpets replaced with modern wooden flooring, your furniture will be moved from pillar to post in an attempt to make room. Wouldn’t it be easier if you could store out of the way for a bit until everything’s finished?
If you’re looking for a simple, efficient and convenient way to make some additional space in your home without having to throw anything away or pile your garage high with furniture, then here at Budget Storage we have the perfect solution. Our storage facilities are secure and affordable; you won’t have to worry about the welfare of your possessions, you can get on with making your home just the way you want it for 2013.
