Full moving day coordination - someone dedicated to managing the logistics, handling problems, and making sure everything runs smoothly. You focus on your family, I handle the chaos.
Moving Day Is Stressful Enough
You're trying to keep the kids calm, make sure gran doesn't get lost, coordinate the removal van, meet the cleaner, hand over keys, pick up new keys, and somehow be in two places at once.
Wouldn't it be easier if someone else was handling all the logistics while you just focused on your family?
💡 Pro tip: Moving day coordination pays for itself in saved stress alone. Especially valuable for complex moves or if you've got young children or elderly relatives to manage.

We'll talk through the whole day - timing, who's doing what, potential issues, plan B for problems. I'll have a full schedule and contact list.

Step 3: Handover Complete
At the end, everything's done, keys handed over, final checks complete, you're in your new house and can relax. I handle the logistics, you handle your family.
🔧 DIY Tips
Managing your own moving day? Here's what helps:
🔧 Essential preparation
- Written timeline for the whole day
- Contact numbers for everyone involved
- Backup plans for key issues
- Someone at each property if possible
📐 Critical tasks
- Final meter readings
- Key handovers
- Directing movers at both ends
- Coordinating cleaning
- Final checks before leaving
- First checks at new house
⚠️ Common problems
- Movers running late (always allow buffer time)
- Keys not where expected
- Last-minute damage discovered
- Utilities not connected properly
- Not enough time for final clean
💡 Pro trick: Create a "moving day pack" - keys, important documents, phone chargers, snacks, kids' entertainment, emergency cash. Keep it with you, not in the moving van.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.
Good to Know
🏠 Complex moves: If you're selling, buying, and renting all on the same day (chain moves), coordination becomes critical. Having someone managing the logistics can prevent the whole thing falling apart.
What I can't do: I'm coordinating, not moving furniture myself. If you need extra labor, that's different - the removal company provides that.
Travel between properties: If your old and new houses are far apart, I can only be at one at a time. We'll work out the best approach when planning.
Overnight storage: If there's a gap between moving out and moving in, I can coordinate storage pickups and deliveries as part of the day.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does moving day coordination actually involve?
I'm there all day managing everything - meeting the removal van, coordinating where things go, dealing with any issues, meeting cleaners or other tradespeople, doing final checks, handing over keys. Basically I run the day so you don't have to.
Why would I need someone to coordinate my move?
If you've got young kids to manage, elderly parents to look after, or you're juggling multiple properties on the same day, having someone dedicated to managing the logistics is worth every penny. You focus on your family, I handle everything else.
Can you handle both ends - old house and new house?
If they're both local (within the 30-mile radius), yes. I can coordinate at the old house in the morning (cleaners, removals out), then be at the new house in the afternoon (removals in, setup). Depends on timing but it's doable.
What happens if something goes wrong?
That's exactly why I'm there - to handle problems. Removal van late? I'm chasing them. Key not where it should be? I'm sorting it. Last-minute issue found? I deal with it so you don't have to stress.
Is this worth it for a local move?
Depends on your situation. If it's just you and a partner, you can probably manage. If you've got kids, pets, elderly relatives, multiple properties, or a complex move, absolutely worth it for the peace of mind.
