Packing Services
A professional service from start to finish
Packing is one of the most essential yet challenging parts of any house move—but we’re here to help. Our professional packing service, carried out by expertly trained staff, ensures your belongings are packed safely, securely, and efficiently.
When you choose our packing service, you’re choosing exceptional care and quality. Using high-grade materials and techniques based on British Association of Removers (BAR) standards, we pack your items with precision and attention to detail. Many customers are pleasantly surprised by the exceptional neatness of our packing and the stress-free experience we provide. Let us save you time, stress, and worry by handling this task for you.
We proudly offer both male and female packers, and if you have specific preferences, we’ll do our best to accommodate them, subject to availability.
Our materials are designed with quality and sustainability in mind. We use:
• High-quality, purpose-made materials
• Double-wall, multi-use boxes
• Environmentally friendly materials, with boxes made from 75% recycled content
Whenever possible, we recycle our packing materials, aligning our services with eco-friendly practices.
Full Packing
Our most popular service saves you time, effort, and stress. Our professional packers will arrive at your home, typically the day before your move, to expertly pack everything for you.
Before starting, our team will check with you to identify any items you don’t want packed, ensuring that important paperwork or essentials for the next day are left out.
We use specially designed labelling tape to clearly mark each box with its contents and the room it came from, making unpacking at your new home straightforward and organised.
Many of our customers don’t even need to take time off work with this service. Once we’ve been shown around, you can leave everything to us. We handle your entire move from start to finish, so you don’t have to worry or lift a finger!
Fragile Packing
If you’re comfortable handling most of your packing but need assistance with delicate items, our professional fragile packing service is the perfect solution. We take extra care to ensure your breakables are securely packed and well-protected. This service includes:
• China: Plates, mugs, and ornaments
• Glassware: Bowls, Pyrex, drinking glasses, vases, and other glass items
• Porcelain: Figurines, oven dishes, and delicate ceramics
• Lamps: Shades and bases carefully packed
• Mirrors and Pictures: Safely wrapped and secured
To make the process smooth, we ask you to:
1. Leave fragile kitchen items in their current cupboards—we’ll carefully retrieve them.
2. Collect other fragile items from around your home and place them on a designated area, such as the dining table. This minimizes searching and ensures everything is handled efficiently.
Our expertise means your most delicate belongings will be packed with precision and care, giving you peace of mind.
Kitchen Packing
The kitchen is often the most time-consuming room to pack, as it typically contains a high number of fragile items. If you’re handling most of your packing but would like assistance with the kitchen, we’re happy to help.
Our team can professionally pack your kitchen items, ensuring your breakables are securely wrapped and protected for transit. This service can be scheduled either the day before your move or on the morning of moving day, based on availability and volume.
Let us take care of the most challenging room, so you can focus on the rest of your move!
Self Packing
If you prefer to pack your belongings yourself, we offer the option to purchase or loan high-quality moving boxes and packing materials. Using strong, professional-grade boxes is highly recommended to ensure the safety of your items during transit.
Please note that all packing must be completed prior to our team’s arrival on moving day. This helps ensure a smooth and efficient moving process.
Unpacking
If you’d like assistance with unpacking, we can customize our service to suit your needs. Whether you want help with just the kitchen boxes, specific rooms, or the entire house, we’re here to make settling into your new home easier.
As part of our standard unpacking service, we will:
• Carefully unpack items onto available flat surfaces.
• Remove all packaging materials and empty boxes.
• Allow you to inspect your items before placing them in their desired locations.
Maid Service Option
For an even more convenient option, our maid service goes a step further. Under your guidance, we’ll place all your items directly into cupboards, shelves, or other storage locations, leaving your new space neat and organized.
Let us take the hassle out of unpacking so you can enjoy your new home from day one!
Why book our packing service?
Packing can be one of the most time-consuming and underestimated aspects of moving house. That’s why we highly recommend our full packing service for a smoother, stress-free experience.
Our experienced team will typically arrive the day before your move and efficiently pack your entire property in one day. This eliminates the hassle of living among partially packed boxes for weeks, as is often the case when packing yourself. While it can take 2–3 weeks for most people to pack their home due to daily distractions and the need to leave some items in use, we focus solely on packing, streamlining the process and significantly reducing your workload.
With this service, you only need to be present to grant access and do a quick walkthrough. Many customers find they don’t even need to take a day off work, as we take care of everything for you.

• Each box is packed to professional standards using the appropriate materials.
