Frequently asked questions

What should be in a moving-day 'first-night box'?
Pack one clearly-labelled box (or bag) with everything you'll need before you can face unpacking, and keep it with you rather than on the van: kettle, mugs, tea/coffee/milk, toilet roll, hand soap, phone chargers, basic toiletries, towels, bedding, any medications, a torch, snacks, and the kettle (the first cup of tea in a new home is essential!). Knowing where the stopcock, fuse box and meters are, and testing the smoke alarms, are sensible first-night jobs too. It turns a chaotic first night into a manageable one.
Is it really free?
