Pack for handling, not just storage
In Cottingham, boxes need to survive the specific loading route. If there are stairs, longer outside carries or tight halls, smaller controlled cartons and better furniture wrapping make the job safer and faster.
Prepare bulky items early
In Cottingham, prepare larger pieces early if the job sits in the village core or an older conversion where access can narrow quickly.
Stage the house in loading order
Group completed boxes away from the main walkway, keep priority rooms obvious and protect floors where weather or repeated footfall could create extra mess during the move.
