Lofts, garages and display cabinets: packing a Birstall home properly

The estate houses and newer semis around Birstall often have a loft, and some a garage, and those are where time disappears. A loft can hold more boxes than a spare room, and a garage full of tools and garden things needs different packing from a bedroom. Tell us what is up there and whether there is a fixed ladder, and include the garage and shed in your photos, because they change the time and the box count.

Inside the house, order matters. The rooms you use least go first, the kitchen goes last, and one box per room stays open for what you need that night. Plates are wrapped and stood on edge, glasses individually, and pictures and mirrors go into boxes marked for the top of the load. Every box carries the name of the room it is going to, so unloading is quicker and nothing lands in the wrong bedroom.

How packing day works for a Birstall move

• Boxes, paper, bubble wrap, tape and wardrobe boxes come with the service, and the number needed is estimated from your photos
• Small homes can be packed the same morning, while houses are packed the day before
• For a Nova or Fieldhead semi, say whether the loft is boarded and has a fixed ladder, as that sets how long it takes to empty
• In a stone terrace near Kirkgate, books and tools go in small boxes so each one can be carried along the street to where the van stands
• Documents, jewellery and anything you want to pack yourself go in a marked area before packing starts
• Sort what is not coming before packing day, because nothing unwanted leaves in the van
