Introduction
Spring is one of the best times to move — and April is right at the heart of it. With longer days, milder weather, and the motivation to start fresh, many families and professionals choose this month for relocation. But even with all the seasonal advantages, moving in April can still be stressful without the right plan in place. Here’s how to stay organised, avoid surprises, and keep your spring move smooth and stress-free.
Book Your Movers Early
Spring is popular — and April fills up fast. Professional removal companies often see a surge in bookings from Easter onwards. If you’re planning to move during this time, secure your moving date as early as possible.
Look for a company that offers:
- Flexible scheduling
- Packing services
- Insurance for high-value items
- Transparent pricing (no surprise fees)
Use the Weather to Your Advantage — But Be Prepared
April brings nicer weather, but it’s still unpredictable. You might get sunshine, showers, or even frost in a single week.
Pack weather-sensitive items securely (use waterproof covers or crates)
Protect furniture from damp paths or driveways
Use shoe covers or floor mats to keep both properties clean

Declutter and Reset for Spring
Spring is naturally the season for a fresh start — so make your move lighter by decluttering before you pack.
Ask yourself:
- Have I used this in the last 12 months?
- Does this still serve a purpose in my new space?
- Is it cheaper to replace than to move?
Donate, recycle, or sell anything that doesn’t make the cut.
Pack in Stages to Reduce Stress
Packing everything in one weekend is overwhelming. Spread it out:
- 3 weeks before: Pack out-of-season clothes and non-essentials
- 2 weeks before: Pack books, kitchenware, decorations
- 1 week before: Essentials only
- Final days: Keep a small “open first” box with toiletries, snacks, kettle, chargers
Consider Weekday Moves for Better Rates
April weekends get busy. If possible, book a weekday — it’s often cheaper, and traffic may be lighter.
Midweek moves also give you more time to unpack and settle before the weekend.
Hire Professionals for Fragile and High-Value Items
Spring moisture, changing temperatures, and tight schedules can put your most valuable belongings at risk. Consider hiring specialists if you’re moving:
- Fine art
- Sculptures or antiques
- Electronics
- Designer furniture
- Pianos or large instruments
At B&W Removal, we offer white-glove service for luxury and fragile moves — including full wrapping, custom crating, and secure transport.
Final Thoughts
April is the perfect month for a fresh start in a new home — but only if you plan ahead. From unpredictable weather to packed moving calendars, a little preparation can make all the difference. Focus on early bookings, smart packing, and the right team of movers to reduce stress and get settled with ease.
