Our packing service and packing materials take the slowest part of a move off your hands. A house rarely looks full until you start emptying it, so we handle it from the first wrapped plate to the last labelled box, ready for the van.

Choose a full pack, a partial pack or fragile items only, with unpacking at the other end if you want it. We pack for house removals, flat moves and office relocations from our base in Northampton, across the areas we cover in the Midlands.

You see the full price on paper before any money changes hands. Our packers work under Goods in Transit and Public Liability cover, and we send you the policy details before you commit.

What Our Packing Service Includes

Each packing booking covers the labour, the materials and a labelling system that makes the other end easier. Here is what you get when our packers arrive.

Packers who wrap, box and label your belongings room by room
Boxes of different sizes, paper for wrapping and labels, all brought with the crew
Bubble wrap and tape, included in the price when you book packing
Extra care for glassware, artwork and other fragile pieces
Furniture blanket wrapped before it leaves the room
Optional unpacking at your new address, with the packing waste taken away
Optional furniture dismantling and reassembly, from £40

Boxes and wardrobe boxes are priced individually and listed on your written quote, so you can see exactly what your home needs.

Types of Packing Service We Offer

Full Packing Service

We pack the whole property, from kitchen cupboards and wardrobes to bookshelves, the garage and the loft. Every box is labelled with its destination room, so unloading follows the same order. It suits anyone short on time or moving a large family home.

Partial Packing Service

You pack the rooms you are happy with, and we take the rest. Customers most often hand us the kitchen, the breakables and any room that gets harder to sort as the date gets closer. Just name those rooms on your quote request.

Fragile Items Only

Happy to box up the books and bedding yourself? We can pack just the glassware, framed artwork and ornaments. Fragile and specialist items are assessed at survey stage, so the right materials and time are allowed before anyone starts wrapping.

Unpacking at Your New Home

At the new property we open the boxes, put the contents in the rooms you choose and take the packing waste away. It helps if you need the kitchen working on the first night, or if you are moving with young children.

Packing Materials If You Are Packing Yourself

Packing materials can be bought separately if you would rather do the packing yourself. Add what you need when you request your quote.

Boxes from £2.50 each
Wardrobe boxes for clothes on hangers, £10 each
Bubble wrap and tape, which come with every packing booking

For box sizes, weight limits and a room-by-room plan, read our guide on how to pack for a house move.

One thing to weigh up first. If you pack a box yourself, our terms do not cover damage to what is inside it. If most of your value sits in a glass cabinet or a wall of framed prints, a fragile-only pack costs less than a full pack and keeps those items inside our cover.

How Our Packing Service Works, From Enquiry to Moving Day

STEP 2

Survey and Written Quote

For larger or more complex homes we offer a video survey to check volume, access and any specialist items. You then receive an itemised written quote, and a deposit is only taken once you accept it.

STEP 3

Packing Day

Our packers arrive with the materials and work through the property room by room, labelling every box with its destination. Packing is agreed in advance, so its date and timing are fixed with your move when you book.

STEP 4

Moving Day and Unpacking

The day before the move, we confirm when the crew will arrive. Boxes go on the van room by room, and if you booked unpacking we empty them once you are in and remove the waste.

Cost

Packing Prices in Plain Terms

Each packer costs £35 for every hour on site. Your total comes down to two numbers, how many packers you need and how long they work. Two packers working for three hours, for example, is billed as six packer-hours.

As a guide, a full pack of a two-bedroom flat takes two packers around half a day. A three or four-bedroom house usually takes a full day. Volume and the amount of specialist wrapping decide the exact time, and we give you an honest estimate at quote stage.

Packing service: £35 per packer per hour
Boxes: from £2.50 each
Wardrobe boxes: £10 each
Bubble wrap and tape: included with packing
Furniture dismantling and reassembly: from £40

Packing can be added to any of our removals or booked as a standalone service. Quotes cost nothing, break down every line and arrive in writing.

A fixed price holds unless the job itself changes, for example more belongings than described, harder access or an extra service requested later. Card and bank transfer are accepted, and Klarna or Clearpay can split the bill into instalments. The remaining balance is normally settled before the move or on the day.

Packers

How to Get Your Home Ready for the Packers

A little preparation keeps the packers packing instead of waiting for decisions. Work through this list in the week before they arrive.

Sort what is not coming with you, and sell, donate or clear it before packing day
Keep cash, jewellery, passports and important documents with you. We do not carry cash, jewellery or valuables unless agreed in writing
Pack a first-night bag with phone chargers, medicines, toiletries and a change of clothes
Use up or safely dispose of anything hazardous. We cannot carry fuel cans, gas bottles, fireworks, solvents, pressurised aerosols or perishable food
Disconnect appliances such as the washing machine and fridge freezer before the move
Arrange parking for the van at both properties, plus any permit your council requires
Mention anything unusual at quote stage, such as large framed artwork or a glass-topped table

If you are packing some rooms yourself, our room-by-room packing guide covers what goes in which box and how to label it.

Insurance

Insurance Cover for Packed Belongings

Book Your Move

Call Us: 07346 762283

Two policies apply to every booking, Goods in Transit and Public Liability. The first covers your packed belongings through loading, the journey and unloading. The second covers damage to the property itself during the move.

Cover applies where our negligence caused the damage, and only within the limits of the policy. Three things sit outside it: marks or breaks that existed before moving day, faults in appliances or electronics unless our handling caused them, and the contents of boxes you packed.

That last point is why it matters who packs each box. A box our packers filled falls within those terms. A box you filled yourself does not. You get the policy confirmation in writing ahead of the deposit, and if something goes wrong, tell us promptly once the move is complete. You can read the exact wording in our terms and conditions.
