Melbourne House Moving & A Happy Client: Jake Removals Williamstown Success Story

Our team recently had the pleasure of assisting Perveen with her move in Williamstown. This particular local move spanned two days and involved packing and relocating a spacious 4-bedroom home. From the start, when Perveen first called us, she mentioned that due to her schedule, packing could only be done in the afternoons. Naturally, we were happy to work around her availability.

On day one, our crew arrived in the afternoon and got straight to work. Within just 5 hours, the team had the entire house packed up—carefully wrapping delicate items in packing paper and using our sturdy moving boxes. Fragile items were labelled clearly with “FRAGILE” tape, and all boxes were sealed with strong clear tape to ensure nothing would shift during transit. In particular, the team paid extra attention to glassware, kitchenware, and ornaments, making sure everything was secure for the big move the next day.

The following day was moving day. We sent the same three guys who had done the packing—this continuity ensured a smooth transition since they already knew the layout of the house and the contents of each box. Over the course of a 12-hour move, the team loaded and transported everything safely to the new home. Even though it was a long day, they remained focused and efficient right through to the final piece of furniture.

By the end of the move, Perveen was incredibly happy with how everything turned out. She was particularly impressed by the team’s attention to detail, patience, and the respect they showed for her belongings. Moreover, she commented on how friendly and professional they were throughout, saying she’d definitely recommend Jake Removals to friends and family in the future. Her exact words? “I couldn’t believe how fast and organised everything was! The guys were amazing.”

Pre-Packing Tips for a Smoother Move:

If you’re preparing for a move, here are a few things you can do ahead of time to make the process easier and faster for everyone:

  • First, declutter before you pack. Get rid of items you no longer need—donate, sell, or recycle them.

  • Next, label everything clearly. Mark boxes with room names and a brief description of contents (e.g., Kitchen – Plates).

  • Don’t forget to pack an essentials box. Include items you’ll need immediately after the move like toiletries, medications, a few dishes, and phone chargers.

  • Lastly, use suitcases for heavy items. Books and heavier household items can go in wheeled suitcases to save your back!

Protective Measures for Your Furniture Before Moving:

Some furniture requires extra care to avoid scratches, dents, or other damage during transit. Here are a few tips:

  • To start, wrap large furniture pieces (like couches, mattresses, and dining tables) in moving blankets or bubble wrap.

  • Then, disassemble what you can. Remove table legs, take apart bed frames, and keep all screws and parts in a clearly labelled bag taped to the furniture piece.

  • Additionally, use corner protectors on desks, tables, and other sharp-edged items to prevent dings.

  • Finally, cover upholstered furniture with plastic covers to protect them from dirt and moisture.
