Filling empty spaces in the boxes with packing peanuts or crumpled paper can also prevent movement and potential damage.</p> </div>

426. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When you’re moving house, the last thing you want to worry about is your kids. But with a little bit of preparation and organisation, it can be a relatively stress-free experience for them too. In this guide, we’ll give you some tips on how to make moving house with kids as smooth as possible. <a href="https://cooksonmoving.co.uk/">Cookson &amp; Sons Moving</a> have seen it all when it comes to families moving house with their children.</p>
427. <h2>Talk to your kids about what’s happening</h2>
428. <p>The best way to prepare your kids for moving house is to talk to them about it in advance. Let them know what’s going on, and answer any questions they have honestly. This will help them feel more comfortable and prepared for the move.</p>
429. <p>If your kids are old enough, you could involve them in the process by letting them help with packing their own belongings. This will make them feel more involved, and they’ll be less likely to get upset on moving days.</p>
430. <h2>Give them a sense of ownership over their new home</h2>
431. <p>One way to make the move less daunting for your kids is to involve them in the process as much as possible. Let them choose their own bedroom decorations, or help pack up their old toys and books. This will give them a sense of ownership over their new home, and make them feel more settled once they arrive there.</p>
432. <p>If you can, try to visit the new house before moving day so that your kids can get a feel for their new surroundings. This will help them visualise the move, and make it seem less daunting.</p>
433. <p>On the day of the move, things will inevitably be chaotic. To make things run as smoothly as possible, it’s a good idea to create a schedule for the day. Write down what time everyone needs to be up when breakfast will be, what needs to be packed in which car, and so on. This will help keep everyone on track and reduce the stress levels on moving days.</p>
434. <h2>Moving With Younger Children</h2>
435. <p>If you&#8217;re moving with younger children, it&#8217;s important to make the move as easy as possible for them. Here are some tips to help make the transition go smoothly:</p>
436. <p>-Pack their favourite toys and clothes to keep them comfortable and distracted during the move.</p>
437. <p>-Make sure they have a designated space in the new house where they can put all of their things so they feel at home right away.</p>
438. <p>-Take frequent breaks during the move so they can run around and get some energy out; this will help them stay calm and relaxed.</p>
439. <p>-Explain what&#8217;s happening in a simplified way so they understand what&#8217;s going on; reassure them that everything is going to be okay.</p>
440. <h2>Moving With Older Children</h2>
441. <p>Moving with older children can be easier most of the time. This is because they are old enough to understand what is going on and can help out more than younger children. Here are some tips for you:</p>
442. <p>-Encourage them to help out with the move by packing their own, sorting through their belongings, or carrying boxes. This will make them feel more involved and invested in the move.</p>
443. <p>-Talk to them about their new area and school; they know what to expect and answer any questions they have.</p>

460. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="ql-align-center">Moving is a stressful event for most people. But it doesn&#8217;t have to be. There are things you can do to stay calm and stress free during your move. Here are some tips from <a href="/">Cookson Movers &amp; Storers</a> on how to stay calm and stress free during a<a href="https://cooksonmoving.co.uk/removals/"> house move</a>.</p>
461. <ol>
462. <li class="ql-align-center"><strong>Start early</strong> &#8211; Don&#8217;t leave everything to the last minute. Start packing early and get organised. The more you have done in advance, the less stressful it will be on moving day.</li>
463. <li class="ql-align-center"><strong>Get rid of stuff you no longer need</strong> &#8211; One of the best ways to reduce stress is to declutter your home before you move. Get rid of anything you no longer need or use. This will not only lighten your load, but it will also make packing and unpacking easier.</li>
464. <li><strong>Pack a survival kit</strong> &#8211; Pack a survival kit with everything you&#8217;ll need for the first few days in your new home. This should include items like toiletries, phone chargers, snacks and drinks, and a change of clothes. Having everything you need in one place will make life much easier during those first few chaotic days.</li>
465. <li><strong>Label all your boxes</strong> &#8211; This will save you a lot of time and stress on moving day. Label all your boxes with what is inside and which room they need to go in.</li>
466. <li><strong>Hire a professional mover</strong> &#8211; Hiring a professional mover will take a lot of the stress out of your move. They will pack and load your belongings carefully and efficiently. And they will deliver them to your new home safely.</li>
467. <li><strong>Stay positive</strong> &#8211; Try to stay positive throughout the process. It can be helpful to think about all the positive aspects of your move, such as having a fresh start in a new home and making new memories.</li>
468. <li><strong>Take breaks</strong> &#8211; If you start to feel overwhelmed, take a break. Go for a walk, watch a movie or just take some time out for yourself and relax.</li>
469. <li><strong>Ask for help</strong> &#8211; Don&#8217;t try to do everything yourself. Ask friends and family for help with packing, moving and unpacking. And if its too much you can always take advantage of our professional packing service.</li>
470. </ol>
471. <p class="ql-align-center">By following these tips, you can stay calm and stress free during your house move. So give them a try and see how they work for you.</p>

489. <p>Planning ahead is important when you need to move your belongings. If you don&#8217;t plan ahead, you may end up forgetting something important or not having enough time to do everything that needs to be done. By planning ahead, you can make sure that everything is ready to go when the time comes and that you don&#8217;t forget anything important.</p>
490. <p>Making a list is essential when you&#8217;re planning a move. Write down everything that you need to take with you, as well as anything that needs to be done in order to prepare for the move. This will help you stay organized and make sure that nothing is forgotten.</p>
491. <h2>Hire a reputable moving company</h2>
492. <p>When it comes to moving your belongings, it&#8217;s important to hire a reputable moving company. This will ensure that your belongings are moved safely and securely. There are many moving companies out there, so be sure to do your research before hiring one. Read reviews and ask for recommendations from friends or family members who have used a moving company in the past.</p>
493. <p>It is a good idea to look for a removal company with insurance like <a href="https://cooksonmoving.co.uk/">Cookson Moving</a>. We offer <a href="https://cooksonmoving.co.uk/removals/removals-preston/">removals in Preston</a> and all surrounding areas including, Blackpool, <a href="https://cooksonmoving.co.uk/removals/lytham-st-annes/">Lytham</a> and more.</p>
494. <h2>Pack your belongings securely</h2>
495. <p>It is very important to pack all belongings safely and securely. This ensures that they will not be damaged during the move. Use packing materials such as bubble wrap and furniture pads to protect your belongings. Label all boxes so that you know what is in each one.</p>
496. <p>If you are hiring a moving company, be sure to ask about their <a href="https://cooksonmoving.co.uk/packaging/">packaging services</a>. Many companies offer this service for an additional fee.</p>

498. <h2>Label everything carefully</h2>
499. <p>When packing your belongings for a move, it is important to be very careful. You don&#8217;t want any of your items to get damaged in transit. One way to help prevent damage is to label all of your boxes carefully. This way, you will know what is in each box and can avoid putting delicate items in a box that isn&#8217;t meant for them.</p>
500. <p>Another thing to keep in mind when packing is to use packing materials such as bubble wrap and furniture pads. This will help protect your belongings during the move.</p>
501. <h2>Keep an inventory of your belongings during the move</h2>
502. <p>It is also a good idea to keep an inventory of your belongings during the move. This will help you keep track of everything and make sure that nothing gets lost. You can use a spreadsheet or simply write down a list of everything that you are taking with you. Be sure to include items such as furniture, appliances, clothing, and other valuables.</p>
503. <h2>Conclusion</h2>
504. <p>Moving can be a very stressful experience, but by planning ahead and following these tips, you can make the process much easier. By hiring a reputable <a href="https://cooksonmoving.co.uk/">moving company</a>, packing your belongings securely, and labelling everything carefully, you can minimize the chances of anything getting damaged during the move.

527. <p id="a524b13f-a34e-498f-99a5-3cd9f3c69113" class="quill-block">When it comes time to move, many people automatically think of hiring a large removals company. However, <a href="https://cooksonmoving.co.uk/man-and-van-preston/">reliable man and van services</a> can provide many of the same benefits at a reduced price. Here are four reasons why you should consider a man and van service for your next move.</p>
528. <h2>The Price</h2>
529. <p id="a524b13f-a34e-498f-99a5-3cd9f3c69113" class="quill-block">For those on a budget, man and van services are probably a great option. They are typically much cheaper than hiring a large removals company as you are typically only paying for the labour and the van, rather than all of the additional costs that are associated with a larger company.</p>
530. <p id="a524b13f-a34e-498f-99a5-3cd9f3c69113" class="quill-block">Additionally, man and van services don’t always require a deposit, which can make them even more affordable and ideal for some people.</p> </div>
531. </div>
532. <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-1679eff elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor" data-id="1679eff" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="text-editor.default">
533. <div class="elementor-widget-container">
534. <h2>Speed</h2>
535. <p id="9a68cd85-d62a-420d-aa26-0f1bbe1d9215" class="quill-block">Another great benefit of man and van services is that they tend to be much quicker than larger removals companies. This is because there are typically fewer people involved in the move, less logistics are required and they are less complicated. Additionally, man and van services can make multiple trips if needed, which means that your belongings can be moved in stages rather than all at once. This can be really beneficial if you have a lot of belongings or if you live in a large property.</p> </div>
536. </div>
537. <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-653f372 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor" data-id="653f372" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="text-editor.default">
538. <div class="elementor-widget-container">
539. <h2>Multiple Trips</h2>
540. <p id="ef209997-af1e-4bab-bf8e-96b36a993b42" class="quill-block">Sometimes, multiple trips are actually better than moving everything in one go, especially if you have a lot of belongings. For example, if you have a lot of heavy furniture, it might be better to move it on multiple trips so that it’s not all done at once and there’s less risk of damaging your belongings or your new home.</p>
541. <p id="ef209997-af1e-4bab-bf8e-96b36a993b42" class="quill-block">Not only that but there might be some benefit to moving things with multiple trips, if you&#8217;d prefer to work in stages and move things room by room then this is easily possible with a man and van service.</p> </div>
542. </div>
543. <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-bbdec3e elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor" data-id="bbdec3e" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="text-editor.default">
544. <div class="elementor-widget-container">
545. <h2>Availability</h2>
546. <p id="ef209997-af1e-4bab-bf8e-96b36a993b42" class="quill-block">Man and van services are often more readily available than removals companies. This is because they are typically smaller and don’t have as much logistics to organise. This can be really beneficial if you need to move at short notice or if you want to avoid the busiest times for removals companies.</p>
547. <p id="ef209997-af1e-4bab-bf8e-96b36a993b42" class="quill-block">Additionally, man and van services can often be more flexible with their timings and schedules, which can be really helpful if you have specific requirements or if you need to move on a weekend.</p> </div>
548. </div>
549. <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-bf16c81 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor" data-id="bf16c81" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="text-editor.default">
550. <div class="elementor-widget-container">
551. <h2>Conclusion</h2>
552. <p id="a524b13f-a34e-498f-99a5-3cd9f3c69113" class="quill-block">So, there are four reasons why man and van services might be a better option for you than a large removals company.

698. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>How much does storage cost in the UK?</h2>
699. <p>The cost of storage in the UK can vary depending on the size and location of the unit, as well as the length of time you need to store your belongings.</p>
700. <p>Another factor that will affect the price of storage is whether you need a drive-up unit or not. These units are generally more expensive but allow you to access your belongings with a vehicle and store larger items.</p>
701. <h2>Who is storage for?</h2>
702. <p>Self-storage is perfect for those who are moving house, renovating their home, going on a long holiday, or simply need some extra space. It&#8217;s also great for businesses who need to store stock or equipment. Whether you need short-term or long-term storage, there is a range of options to suit your needs and budget.</p>
703. <h2>What can you put in a storage unit?</h2>
704. <p>Self-storage units come in a variety of sizes, from a small box to large barns, meaning there is plenty of room for all your belongings. Some storage facilities will allow you to store items such as:</p>
705. <ul>
706. <li>Furniture</li>
707. <li>Office equipment</li>
708. <li>Vehicles and boats</li>
709. <li>Sports equipment</li>
710. <li>Household appliances</li>
711. </ul>
712. <p><strong>You may also be able to store dangerous goods in a specialised unit, such as:</strong></p>
713. <ul>
714. <li>Flammable liquids</li>
715. <li>Corrosive materials</li>
716. <li>Explosives</li>
717. </ul>
718. <h2>How do I choose the right storage unit?</h2>
719. <p>When choosing a storage unit, you need to consider what you will be storing and how long you need to store it. If you are unsure about the size of unit you need, we will be able to give you advice on this.

894. <p>Once you&#8217;ve found the perfect home, it&#8217;s time to do some paperwork! The first thing that needs to be done is get pre-qualified for a mortgage. This just means that your credit history has been run and an estimate of how much money you can borrow has been established. </p>
895. <p>This is important for two reasons. Firstly, it makes the purchasing process faster and easier because you don&#8217;t have to worry about whether or not you qualify for a loan. Secondly, it means that the seller will only agree to work with your real estate agent if they are guaranteed payment by the lender.</p> </div>
