Our Student Relocation Services

As the summer begins to draw to a close, many students will either be leaving home to embark on university for the first time or returning students will be moving into new digs. Whichever it is, Edward Baden can help make the transition as smooth as possible thanks to our student relocation services.

Whether you are moving a mile away or across the country, we can help you. Our packing service helps to save you time and energy as we can wrap and pack all your belongings for you. Our removal service can load everything into a removal van for you from boxes to furniture and then get everything into your new digs, regardless of the number of stairs, tight corners or anything else involved. We can even help you unpack at the other end whilst you make new friends or catch up with those you didn’t see during the long summer vacation.

How Edward Baden Can Help Classroom Relocation

During the month of August, a lot of behind the scenes activity happens in schools across the country. It is a time when teachers clear out their classrooms and when schools have a move around, relocating items to different classrooms ready for the start of the new school year in September.

At Edward Baden, we can help make classroom relocation a less stressful and time consuming task. Our extensive experience means that we can help plan your classroom move, relocate furniture using space planning techniques, pack and move all your items for you and help to re-install IT equipment where required.

A Guide to Packing Materials From The Relocation Specialists

At Edward Baden, we don’t just deal with office relocation but also home removals too. Although we offer a comprehensive service which takes care of everything from pre-move planning to packing, removal to unpacking again, many of our clients prefer to pack their items themselves. This is fine by us but we thought that we’d put together this handy guide on the types of packing materials that can be used, along with what they are suitable for.

1 – Bubblewrap – bubblewrap is made from two sheets of polythene which are stuck together using a machine that traps air in between the sheets. This air acts as a cushion if the item wrapped in it is bumped or dropped, helping to stop the item from getting damaged. It is ideal for many things found within your home such as wrapping ornaments, plates and mirrors. However it’s important to note that it is not suitable for paintings or other pieces of fine art. This is due to the fact that chemicals used in the production of bubblewrap can cause damage to canvases whilst it can also trap heat and moisture which causes ‘sweating’ or even mould to occur.

2 – Packing Peanuts – packing peanuts are peanut shaped pieces of polystyrene and are wonderful for placing around a series of small items that are packed together in a box. Similar to bubblewrap, they will help cushion the contents of a box from bumps and blows.

3 – Foam – foam usually comes on large rolls and it easy to use. Simply unroll the required length, cut off and wrap around the desired item. Foam will help to absorb the impact of drops or bumps helping to protect the item inside. As with bubblewrap, due to the chemicals used in the production of the foam, it’s not suitable for using to pack paintings.

4 – Breathable Fabric – although breathable fabric will not absorb much of an impact, it is ideal for wrapping around objects that might get scratched or torn such as glass or paintings.
