Extra hands to help unpack boxes, assemble furniture, and get your new house properly settled. From overwhelmed to organized in a day.
### Stop Staring at the Box Mountain
You're in, the removals van's gone, and you're surrounded by **200 cardboard boxes wondering how you accumulated so much stuff**. The thought of unpacking it all while working full-time and looking after kids is overwhelming.
Get some help. I'll work through boxes with you - unpacking, putting furniture together, hanging wardrobes full of clothes, stacking kitchen cupboards, assembling beds. The boring, physical work that stops you settling in properly.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Book unpacking help for the day after moving in. Moving day itself is chaos - day two is when you actually want to start living in the place, and having help makes all the difference.

What to Expect
### Step 1: Plan of Attack We'll work out which rooms to tackle first - usually kitchen (so you can eat properly) and bedrooms (so you can sleep properly). Then crack on. ### Step 2: Methodical Unpacking Working through boxes systematically - unpack, put items away, break down box, move to next one. Furniture gets assembled as we go. ### Step 3: Clear Away Empty boxes flattened and stacked, rubbish bagged, recycling sorted. Space starts looking like a home rather than a warehouse.

Good to Know
> 📦 **When to book?** Day after moving in usually works best. Moving day itself is removals chaos. Day two is when you want to start actually living there. **How much help do you need?** Most people book a half day (3-4 hours) to get essentials done - kitchen functional, beds made, main living areas sorted. You can then finish the rest gradually. **Multiple visits?** Absolutely fine. Some people book me for a few hours a couple of times rather than one big session. Whatever works for you.
Frequently Asked Questions about Unpacking assistance in Ottery St Mary
What exactly would you help with?
Whatever you need - unpacking kitchen boxes and stacking cupboards, hanging clothes in wardrobes, assembling furniture that came flat-packed, putting beds together, breaking down empty boxes and taking them to recycling. Basically the heavy lifting and tedious stuff so you can focus on making the new place feel like home.
Do I need to direct you on where everything goes?
For personal items like clothes and books, yes - I'll need you to tell me what goes where. For obvious stuff like kitchen items, I can get on with it and you can rearrange later if needed. Most people find it helpful to tackle one room at a time together.
How long does unpacking help normally take?
Depends entirely on how much stuff you've got. A couple with a 2-bed house might take 3-4 hours to get the essentials sorted. A family with a 4-bed house could easily fill a full day. I charge by the hour so you can have as much or as little help as you need.
Can you help on the day we move in?
Yes, but it's often better the day after. Moving day itself is chaos with the removals company in and out. Day after, they're gone, boxes are all in place, and we can work through them methodically without being in anyone's way.
Will you take away all the empty boxes?
I can flatten them and take them to the recycling centre if you want. Some people keep a few for storage, but most are glad to see the back of them. Up to you.
