Working out the size of what you need to move takes a bit of time, but it is really important to make sure you get a correct quote to make sure your move happens smoothly on the day.
Make a list of everything you need to move
Measure big items to work out how big they are
Estimate for each room how many boxes (of whatever size you decide) everything else will need
Add it all up!
