Renovating in Windsor: coordinating storage, removals and moving back in

A renovation is two moves, not one. Everything comes out, lives somewhere else for months, and then has to go back into rooms that have changed shape. The second move is the one people plan least.

Before the builders arrive

  • Decide what stays in the house, what goes to storage and what leaves for good.
  • Pack down room by room and label for the room it will return to, not the room it came from.
  • Keep everyday items accessible rather than sealed at the back of a container.
  • Photograph shelf and cable arrangements you will want to recreate.

Edit while everything is out

A renovation is the easiest time to edit, because you are handling every item anyway. Anything broken or genuinely rubbish can go now rather than coming back into a finished room. Our decluttering service works through it with you and categorises as we go.

New rooms need new storage plans

A new kitchen or fitted wardrobe rarely holds things the way the old one did. We plan the storage around the finished layout, from stock products to bespoke planning, so cupboards work on the day you move back rather than being rearranged three times.

Moving back in

We unpack the crates and boxes, organise the kitchen, hang the wardrobes, set up the bathrooms and make the beds, then stack the packaging ready for collection. See our renovation service and recent projects.
