    London packing services that stop damage before it starts

    Most goods-in-transit insurance policies treat owner-packed boxes very differently from boxes packed by your removals crew. Standard policies typically exclude breakage cover for items the customer packed themselves, or limit liability to as little as £40 per item. Items our team packs are covered in full under our policy. That distinction matters when you're moving a kitchen full of crockery or artwork you can't replace. According to Compare My Move, the average professional packing service costs around £387 in the UK, which is a fraction of what replacing damaged belongings would cost.

    Full pack, part pack or materials only

    Book a full pack and our team arrives the day before your move, works through every room, and leaves a home where every box is labelled by contents and destination room. Fragile crockery, framed pictures, wine glasses, electronics: all wrapped, layered and secured before they go in the van. Or book a part pack for just the rooms you'd rather leave to us. Kitchens and fragiles are where most people want help, and we can do exactly that. We also supply quality packing materials on their own if you'd prefer to self-pack but want proper boxes, not whatever was in the back of a supermarket.

    What we pack with and why it matters

    Double-walled boxes for heavy items: books, dishes, kitchen equipment. Single-walled medium boxes for general household contents. Wardrobe boxes with hanging rails so clothes go in on hangers and arrive crease-free at the other end. Acid-free tissue paper for crockery and ceramics. Bubble wrap for lamps, mirrors and larger fragiles. Furniture blankets for items that won't go in a box. If you'd like packing combined with your removal in a single co-ordinated job, our packers and movers service handles everything from start to finish.

    Unpacking at the other end

    BAR member removal firms complete more than 250,000 UK home moves every year, and the thing customers say again and again is that unpacking is the part that drags on for weeks. Boxes sit in the spare room for months. We can unpack everything at your new home, dispose of all the packaging, and leave your rooms set up and usable on move day. Or just the kitchen and bedrooms if that's all you need. It's available as an optional extra when you book your packing service.

    What affects the cost?

    The number of rooms, how many fragile and specialist items you have, and whether you want the full house or just certain rooms packed are the main factors. A three-bed family home with a full kitchen of crockery takes a 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 move, not a standard rate card, so you know exactly what you're paying before we start.

    Guide prices

    These starting rates give a realistic sense of what you'd pay. Every job is quoted individually before you confirm, so the price is fixed from the outset.

    “The kitchen was my main worry. Forty years of crockery, everything precious to us. They packed the lot in under two hours and not a single piece was damaged. I watched them work. They clearly know what they're doing.”

    “I was dreading the packing more than the move itself. They arrived at 8am, worked through every room, and by 2pm the whole house was done and labelled. I didn't have to make a single decision. Worth every penny.”

    “We booked packing and unpacking. Arrived at the new flat and everything was already in the right rooms. Didn't live out of boxes for a single day. I'd recommend the unpacking service to anyone moving in London.”

    Questions

    Packing services: your questions answered

    Do I need to be at home while you pack?
    Yes, someone should be there so we can ask about anything fragile, sentimental or needing special care. You don't need to follow us room to room, but being available helps us do the job properly.
    What packing materials do you use?
    Double-walled boxes for heavy items, single-walled for general contents, wardrobe boxes with hanging rails, bubble wrap for fragiles, acid-free tissue paper for crockery and ceramics, and furniture blankets for larger pieces. All included in the price.
    Can you pack just some rooms?
    Yes. Part-packing is popular. Most customers want help with the kitchen and fragiles and are happy to handle their own books, linen and general items. Tell us which rooms when you book.
    Do you unpack at the new property too?
    Yes, unpacking is available as an optional extra. We unpack all boxes, dispose of the packaging, and leave your new home set up and ready to use on move day.
    Is professionally packed cover different from owner-packed?
    Yes. Standard goods-in-transit policies typically cover items packed by the removals crew in full, while owner-packed boxes often face reduced or excluded breakage cover. Boxes our team packs are covered under our full policy.
    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 fragiles and how much is in storage areas like attics and garages.
