Pack one room at a time and write the room name on every box. A mix of kitchen and bedroom in the same carton makes the first night harder. Keep boxes light enough to lift. Books, tools and tins are the usual mistakes. Leave a path to the door, which matters in a Rochdale terrace as much as in a larger house.
Wrap glass and pictures. Stand plates on edge. Do not pack food that will leak, or paint and fuel. Keep a first-night box aside: kettle, mugs, chargers, bedding, toilet roll and medicines. Documents and jewellery travel with you.
If you would rather not box the kitchen yourself, book packing and say which rooms. More detail on the order of a kitchen and fragile items is in packing tips for a Rochdale move. Get a free quote if you want packing added to the move.
