Packing a Barrowford home, room by room
Older Barrowford houses keep their space in odd corners. A Gisburn Road cottage or a Lowerford terrace may have a cupboard under a boxed-in stair, a cellar head or a loft hatch, and that is where the tools, the paint tins and the decorations live. Count them when you ask for a price, because they can fill more boxes than the bedrooms. Small rooms mean the packed boxes need somewhere to wait, so a pack the day before is planned so the stairs stay clear.
Crockery and glass are wrapped one piece at a time and packed on edge in small boxes with the gaps filled. Pictures and mirrors are wrapped and stood upright. On a family house at Carr Hall or a close off Wheatley Lane Road, the garage and the shed are usually the longest jobs. Every box is taped and labelled for the room it is going to, so unloading at the new house goes straight to the right place.
What helps a Barrowford packing day
- Point out the loft, cellar head and under-stair cupboard when you ask for a price
- Put aside what you need for the night and the first morning in the new house
- Say which rooms or items you would rather pack yourself
- Clear the stairs and hall so packed boxes have somewhere to stand
- Book packing for the day before the move, so moving day is loading and driving
