House moving advice

[lnr]

Has anyone reading this moved house and used the removal firm to do the packing as well as the moving? I've never done this before, and I wonder is there anything I need to do before the packers arrive on Tuesday? And what will they leave out for us until the move itself on Wednesday?

Thanks.

Oh yes, and we won't have a car.

I don't know what you're "leaving the place in a clean state" arrangements are, but you might want to make sure that there are cleaning materials, especially vaccuum cleaner, which don't get packed so that you can go round cleaning after they've gone. And the flip-side of "don't pack the kettle" is of course "make sure the kettle is the first thing unpacked".

At least you don't have cats.
