Make a list of everything you intend to store. Note which items can be taken apart for easier transport and reduced storage costs.
 
Keep all your essential items (keys, mobile, wallet, and medication) in easy to find places.
 
Start packing any non-essential items such as extra clothes, paintings and ornaments early. Lofts and garages are good places to find items to get started on.
 
Don't wrap precious items in newspaper as the print can rub off.
 
Stacked plates can be heavy and the bottom ones can break; instead, wrap them in paper and pack them on their ends. Glass panes (including pictures and mirrors) should be stacked upright.
 
Label all boxes clearly with the contents and room they belong in to help when retrieving goods from your unit and unpacking.
 
Avoid unpleasant retrievals by cleaning your garden equipment before you store it, and drain petrol where relevant to make sure things start properly.
 
Store large and heavy items at the bottom.
 
Use the space in chests of drawers and wardrobes to store boxes and paper work, reducing storage costs.
 
If you are going to need access to certain items throughout your storage period, keep them near the door.
 
Protect furniture with dust sheets and wrap table and chair legs to avoid scratching.
 
Remove batteries from electrical items.
 
Store heavy items in smaller boxes to make for easy lifting. Store china and breakables in stronger cardboard and plastic boxes packed with bubble wrap or tissue paper.
 
Make sure that fridges and freezers are fully defrosted to prevent water damage and where possible leave the doors open to allow ventilation.
 
Clean all garden furniture before storing and make sure that your lawnmower is drained of petrol.
 
If more than one person is going to need access to the unit, use a combination lock.
