Professional packing services

Packing is the part of moving that most people dread. Let us take care of it. We bring all the materials, pack everything carefully, and make sure your belongings arrive in the same condition they left.

Packing options to suit you

Whether you want us to pack the entire house or just the tricky bits, we'll tailor the service to what you need.

Full packing

We pack everything in your home from top to bottom - every room, every cupboard, every drawer. You don't need to lift a finger. Ideal if you're short on time or just want the stress taken off your hands completely.

What's included:

Every room packed by our team
All materials provided (boxes, tape, bubble wrap, tissue paper)
Fragile items wrapped individually
Labelling by room for easy unpacking
Usually completed in one day before the move

Partial packing

Happy to pack your own clothes and books, but want help with the kitchen and fragile items? We'll handle the rooms or items you choose and leave the rest to you.

Popular choices:

Kitchen - crockery, glassware, pots and pans
Living room - ornaments, pictures, mirrors
Fragile and valuable items only
Specific rooms you nominate
Combination with your own packing

Furniture disassembly and reassembly

Wardrobes, bed frames, dining tables and desks often need to come apart to fit through doorways or to travel safely. We disassemble them before the move and put them back together at the other end.

Bed frames and headboards
Flat-pack wardrobes and shelving
Dining tables and extending tables
Desks and workstations
Garden furniture and trampolines

Materials we provide

You don't need to buy boxes or tape. When you book a packing service, we bring everything we need on the day.

Cardboard boxes

Strong double-wall boxes in a range of sizes - small for heavy items like books, large for lighter items like bedding.

Bubble wrap and tissue paper

For wrapping glassware, crockery, ornaments and anything fragile.

Packing tape and labels

Every box is sealed securely and labelled by room so unpacking is straightforward.

Furniture blankets and corner protectors

Thick padded blankets to wrap sofas, tables and cabinets, plus protectors for doorframes and banisters.

Wardrobe boxes

Hanging wardrobe boxes so your clothes travel on the rail - no folding, no creasing.

What to expect

How packing day works

1

We arrive with everything

Our team turns up at the agreed time with all the boxes, tape, bubble wrap and blankets we need. No waiting around for materials to be delivered.

2

Room by room

We work through the house systematically, packing each room and labelling boxes clearly. Fragile items are wrapped individually. Furniture is disassembled where needed.

3

Ready for moving day

By the end of packing day, everything is boxed, wrapped and ready to load onto the van. If packing and moving are on the same day, we go straight into loading once packing is done.

Unpacking at the other end

We can also unpack at your new home if you'd like. We'll place boxes in the right rooms during the move, then unpack and set things up so you can settle in straight away. Furniture is reassembled and positioned where you want it.

Just let us know when you get your quote whether you'd like unpacking included - it's easy to add on and saves you hours of work after a long moving day.
