Follow these steps
- Make a list of everything you need to move
- Measure big items to work out how big they are
- Estimate for each room how many boxes (of whatever size you decide) everything else will need
- Add it all up!
An example for an average fridge/freezer
| 0.55 metres | 0.55 metres | 1.65 metres | = 0.50 cubic metres | 
| 55 cm | 55 cm | 165 cm | = 0.50 cubic metres | 
| 1.9 ft | 1.9 ft | 5ft (18 cubic feet) | = 0.50 cubic metres | 
Calculating in feet? Take the total cubic ft and divide by 35 to get your cubic metres. Please use the following estimates as a general guide only! (cbm = cubic metres)
| Average 2 seater sofa / settee | 2.00 cbm | 
| Armchair | 1.00 cbm | 
| 3 piece suite | 3.00 cbm | 
| Futon | 0.5 cbm |
