Service overview
Professional packing, with every material supplied
What it is
Our packing service means we pack your belongings for you before the move. We supply all the boxes, tape and bubble wrap, wrap fragile items properly and pack in a way that makes loading and unpacking faster. Discuss your packing requirements when requesting your free survey and quote.
Who it's for
It's for busy households, people moving with young children, anyone short on time, and anyone who wants their belongings packed by a business with over 15 years of removals experience. Packing is also available alongside office removals.
When you need it
Ask us to confirm when packing would take place. Book it alongside your removal so we can plan time for both. If you're moving at short notice, packing help can be the difference between making your date and missing it.
Why professional help matters
Packing takes far longer than people expect, and poor packing can put belongings at risk of damage. Overloaded boxes split, unwrapped glassware cracks, and loose items shift. Professional packing protects your belongings and takes packing tasks off your hands.
The risks
What happens when packing is rushed
Packing is the part of moving people most underestimate.
Breakages
Plates, glasses and ornaments packed without proper wrapping are the first things to break.
Collapsed boxes
Supermarket boxes and overfilled cartons can split mid-carry.
Missed moving day
If packing isn't finished when the van arrives, the whole move slows down.
Chaos at the other end
Unlabelled boxes can make unpacking more difficult.
Common mistakes to avoid
- ×Starting packing too late.
- ×Using second-hand boxes that are already weak.
- ×Putting heavy items in large boxes.
- ×Not labelling boxes by room.
- ×Not wrapping fragile items individually.

Pricing
Details to include in your packing service enquiry
We don't publish a one-size-fits-all price list, because no two jobs are the same. A small flat on the ground floor with parking outside is a very different job to a four-bedroom house with a narrow staircase and permit-only parking. Instead, we offer a free survey and then a free fixed quote for your exact job.
For your quote, tell us about:
- How much is moving, and how large or heavy the items are
- Access at both addresses: stairs, lifts, parking and distance from the door
- The distance between addresses
- Extras you choose, such as packing, dismantling and reassembly, storage or disposal
- Your preferred date and time, so availability can be discussed
Your fixed quote covers the agreed work. If your items, addresses, access or dates change, tell us so any quote changes can be discussed before proceeding. Payment is by bank transfer or cash.
Get ready
How to prepare for your packing service job
Discuss your requirements before the job. Before we arrive, it helps to:
- 1.Call us early with your dates, even if they're not confirmed.
- 2.Book your free survey so we can see access and anything that needs special handling.
- 3.Decide what you don't want to keep. We can take it away under our Environment Agency Waste Carrier Licence, as an agreed disposal service.
- 4.Check parking at both addresses and let us know about any restrictions.
- 5.Measure large furniture against doors and stairs at the new property, and ask whether dismantling is suitable.
- 6.Keep valuables, documents, medication and chargers with you on the day.
If anything changes, such as a completion date moving or extra items appearing, tell us as soon as you can and we'll update the plan.
