Moving House This Summer? Here’s What You Need to Know

Summer is one of the most popular times of the year to move house - and for good reason. Longer daylight hours, school holidays, and (hopefully!) better weather make it an ideal time to plan your relocation. But summer moves also come with their own unique challenges.

At Kristof Removals, we’ve carried out countless moves across Doncaster, Lincoln, Scunthorpe, Retford, Gainsborough, Market Rasen and the surrounding areas during the warmer months. Here are our top tips for making your summer move smooth, efficient, and stress-free.

1. Moving House - Book Early—Summer Gets Busy!

Summer is peak season for house removals, so availability can fill up quickly. To secure your preferred moving date, we recommend booking your removals company as far in advance as possible. A last-minute booking might leave you with limited options.

2. Beat the Heat—Start Early

Moving heavy furniture and boxes in the midday sun isn’t much fun. If you can, schedule an early morning start to avoid the hottest part of the day. Our team always aims to arrive promptly, to get most of the heavy lifting done before temperatures rise.

3. Keep Hydrated and Cool

Make sure there’s plenty of water available for everyone involved in the move. Wear lightweight, breathable clothing and take regular breaks. If you’ve got pets, make sure they have a shady spot to rest and cool water too.

4. Protect Heat-Sensitive Items

Items like candles, electronics, plants, and certain toiletries can be affected by high temperatures in the van. Speak with your removals team about what’s best packed last or transported in a separate, cooler vehicle if needed.

5. Plan for School Holidays

Summer is often the best time for families with school-age children to move. But it also means juggling childcare, holiday plans, and routines. Let us know if you need help with packing services to take some of the pressure off during this busy time.

6. Check Parking and Access Early

With more people out and about, summer can mean more cars on residential streets. Make sure there’s space available for the removals vehicle close to your property. We can assist with applying for any necessary parking permits or waivers.

7. Don’t Forget the Sun Cream!

It sounds obvious - but if you're going to be outside loading and unloading all day, protect your skin. A bit of planning goes a long way in making the day more comfortable and safe for everyone involved.
