How our packing service works

If you'd prefer not to pack yourself, we can do it all for you. One of our team members carefully packs everything in your house in preparation for transport. It's one of the most useful things you can add to a move: it saves you hours of work in the busiest weeks, and things packed by people who do it every day tend to travel better.

Packing is arranged as part of your removal, so it fits around your moving date and is handled by the same team that moves you.

Full or partial packing

Not everyone needs the whole house packed. Common options are:

  • Everything. We pack the whole home and you simply set aside anything you're taking with you.
  • The difficult rooms. Kitchens, glassware, china and pictures are the slowest to pack well, so many customers hand those to us and do the rest.
  • Just the fragile items. Ornaments, mirrors and anything you'd hate to see damaged.

Tell us what you'd like when you request a quote, and we'll include it.

Labelled so you can find things

Good packing isn't only about protection. Boxes are labelled clearly, so they go to the right room at the other end and unpacking is far less of a hunt.

“Superb estimating of the number of packing cases required, almost uncanny!”

Packing yourself?

That's fine too. Our packing tips cover how to pack room by room, how heavy a box should be, and what to keep with you on the day.
