    Packing services in London that actually protect your things

    Badly packed boxes are the biggest cause of damage during a house move. The British Association of Removers consistently cites improper packing as the leading source of goods-in-transit insurance claims in the UK. Wrapping a plate in one sheet of tissue paper is not packing it. Using an underfilled box so it collapses under the next one is not packing correctly. Our trained packers know the difference, and it shows in our claims record.

    Full pack, part pack or materials only

    Book a full packing service and our team arrives the day before your move, works through every room, and hands over a house where every box is labelled by contents and destination room. Kitchen fragiles, framed pictures, wine glasses, electronics: all wrapped, layered and secured correctly. Or book a part pack for just the rooms you don’t want to do yourself. Kitchens and fragiles are where most people want help, and that’s fine. We also supply quality packing materials on their own if you’d rather do the work yourself but want proper boxes, not a supermarket banana box.

    What we use and why

    Double-walled boxes for heavy items (books, dishes, kitchen equipment). Single-walled medium boxes for general household contents. Wardrobe boxes with a hanging rail so clothes go in on hangers and come out crease-free. Acid-free tissue paper for crockery. Bubble wrap for lamps, mirrors and larger fragiles. Furniture blankets for items that can’t go in a box. Our packers and movers service combines full packing with your removal in a single coordinated job.

    Unpacking too

    The ONS 2021 Census records more than 3.6 million households in Greater London, and packing a typical London home from scratch takes most people two to three full weekends of effort. Unpacking at the other end is often the part that drags on for weeks. We can unpack every box, dispose of all the packaging, and leave your new home set up and ready to use on move day. Or just the kitchen and bedrooms if that’s all you need.

    What affects the price?

    The number of rooms, the volume of fragile and specialist items, and whether you need the full house or just selected rooms packed are the main factors. A three-bed family home with a kitchen full of crockery takes a full team a full day. A one-bed flat with just the kitchen and pictures takes a few hours. We quote based on a real assessment of your home, not a generic rate card.

    Questions

    Packing Services FAQs

    Do I need to be home while you pack?
    Yes, we’d always recommend someone being present so we can ask about anything fragile, sentimental or that needs special care. You don’t need to watch every box, but being available helps.
    What packing materials do you use?
    Double-walled boxes for heavy items, single-walled for general contents, wardrobe boxes with hanging rails for clothes, bubble wrap for fragiles, acid-free tissue for crockery, and furniture blankets for larger items. All included in the price.
    Can you pack just some rooms?
    Yes. Part-packing is one of our most popular options. Most people want help with the kitchen and fragiles but are happy to pack their own books, linen and general items.
    Do you also unpack at the new home?
    Yes. Unpacking is available as an optional extra. We unpack all boxes, dispose of the packaging, and leave your new home set up and usable on move day.
    Is packed-by-owner cover different from professionally packed?
    Yes. Most goods-in-transit policies distinguish between professionally packed and owner-packed items. Boxes packed by our team are covered under the full policy. Ask us for details when you book.
    How long does packing take?
    A one-bed flat takes a two-person team roughly half a day. A three-bed family home usually takes a full day or more, depending on the volume of fragiles and how much is in the attic or garage.
