Packing a Spen Valley terrace for a move to a bigger house

A two-up two-down in Moorbottom or Whitechapel holds more than it looks. Kitchen cupboards can run high, the understairs space is full, and there may be an attic or cellar on top. The kitchen goes first and gets the most care: each plate wrapped and stood on its edge, glasses in divided boxes, tins in small boxes so none is too heavy to lift. Mention any attic or cellar when you ask for the quote, so the time allowed is right.

Because the new house has more rooms than the old one, the labels matter even more. Each box is marked with the room it is heading for at the new address, so nothing ends up in a spare bedroom by accident and the unload is quick. The drive across town may take a few minutes, but fragiles are wrapped as carefully as for a trip down the M1, because a box can be knocked while being lifted as easily as on the road.

Choosing how much of a Cleckheaton house to have packed

• Full pack: every room, the day before, with boxes, paper, bubble wrap and tape supplied
• Kitchen and breakables only: the part that takes skill, allow a few hours
• A Moorbottom or Whitechapel terrace with a cellar or attic: mention it, as those rooms add boxes and time
• A flat above a shop in the centre: small enough to pack and load on the same morning
• Set aside paint, fuel, gas bottles and chemicals, which cannot travel in the van
