WHO BOOKS PACKING ONLY

You don't always need the whole move

Packing is the part that decides whether things break. It's also the part most people underestimate. These customers book it on its own:

You have your own transport

A company vehicle, a relative's truck, or a container already booked — you just need it packed to survive the journey.

Moving abroad

Consignments going into a shipping container need export-grade packing and a numbered inventory list for customs paperwork.

Going into storage

Goods sitting for months need dust-proof wrapping and stackable cartons, not the same packing as a two-hour move.

Fragile items only

You'll do the clothes and books yourself. We handle the crockery, glass, TVs, mirrors and artwork.

Offices & retail

Files, IT equipment and stock packed and labelled over a weekend so Monday morning isn't lost.

Unpacking service

Already moved and staring at fifty cartons? We come and unpack, place things room by room and remove the waste.

Mixing levels is normal — full pack in the kitchen, partial everywhere else. The survey sets the scope room by room so nothing is assumed.

HOW WE ACTUALLY PACK

The rules our crew works to

Anyone can wrap a plate in newspaper. These are the details that decide whether it arrives in one piece — and what you should expect from any packer you hire.

Plates stand on edge, never stacked flatStacked plates crack under their own weight over a bumpy road. Vertical, wrapped individually, with padding between.
Books go in small cartonsA large box of books is too heavy to lift safely and the base fails. Books get the smallest carton size, every time.
Every carton filled to the topEmpty space is what lets contents shift and break. Gaps are filled with paper or foam before the box is taped.
Screws bagged and taped to the itemDismantled bed and wardrobe fittings go in a labelled bag taped to the frame — not into a shared "hardware" box.
Cables photographed before disconnectingTV and PC setups are photographed at the back before anything is unplugged, so reconnection isn't guesswork.
Screens travel uprightTVs and monitors go in flat boxes and stay vertical — a screen laid flat with weight on it is a cracked panel.
Fragile marked with direction arrows"Fragile" alone doesn't tell a loader which way is up. Arrows do.
Labelled by room, numbered on an inventoryEach carton gets a number and a destination room, listed on a sheet both sides sign before loading.
MATERIAL

We bring it. It's in the quote.

You shouldn't be running to Jodia Bazaar for cartons the night before your move. Everything below arrives with the crew, and it's costed into the quotation rather than billed as an extra at the door.

  • 5-ply cartons, three sizesSmall for books and crockery, medium for general goods, large for light bulky items.
  • Wardrobe cartonsTall boxes with a hanging rail — suits and formal wear travel on hangers, no ironing at the other end.
  • Double-wall boxes for glasswareCrockery and glass get a stronger box with cell dividers where needed.
  • Bubble wrap & foam sheetsTwo grades — fine bubble for glass and screens, large bubble for furniture edges.
  • Stretch filmSofas, mattresses and drawer units wrapped so nothing opens or gathers dust in transit.
  • Corrugated rolls & edge protectorsPolished surfaces and furniture corners — the two places damage always shows.
  • Mattress & sofa coversSealed covers, so upholstery doesn't arrive carrying the truck floor with it.
  • Custom wooden cratesBuilt to size on site for safes, machinery, artwork and anything that can't take a knock.
HOW LONG IT TAKES

Plan your packing day properly

Rough guide for a full pack with a standard crew. Partial packing runs faster; heavy kitchens, large libraries and lots of artwork run slower.

1 bedroomFull packHalf day
2 bedroomsFull pack1 day
3 bedroomsFull pack1–1.5 days
4+ bedroomsFull pack2 days
Small officeUp to 15 desks1 day
Large office15+ desks, IT room2–3 days
Fragile onlyAverage home3–4 hours
UnpackingAverage homeHalf to 1 day

Packing the day before the move is almost always the right call. Packing and loading on the same morning is where rushed work and breakages come from.

THE PROCESS

How a packing booking runs

  1. 01

    Survey & scope

    We walk the rooms — or review your WhatsApp photos — and agree the level per room. You get a written quote with the material included.

  2. 02

    Material delivered

    Cartons, wrap and film arrive with the crew on packing day. Crates for special items are built on site or brought pre-made.

  3. 03

    Packing & labelling

    Fragile items first, then room by room. Every carton numbered, labelled by destination room and logged on the inventory.

  4. 04

    Inventory sign-off

    You check the list against the cartons and both sides sign. Then it's ready for your transport — or ours.

PRICING

What decides your packing cost

Packing is priced on labour hours plus material, so the four things below are what move the number:

Volume

Number of rooms and how full they are. A packed-out three-bedroom takes longer than a sparse four-bedroom.

Service level

Fragile-only is the cheapest entry point. Full pack costs most because it's every cupboard in the house.

Fragile ratio

A crockery-heavy kitchen, a glass display cabinet or a lot of framed artwork adds hours and material.

Crating

Wooden crates are built to size and quoted per item — safes, pianos, machinery and large artwork.

FAQ

Packing service questions

Can I book packing without booking the transport?

Yes — that's a standard booking for us. The crew arrives with all material, packs to the agreed level, hands over a signed inventory and leaves. Whether the truck outside is ours or yours makes no difference to how the packing is done.

Do you supply the cartons and packing material?

Yes, and it's costed into the quotation rather than added afterwards. That covers cartons in three sizes, wardrobe boxes, bubble wrap, stretch film, corrugated rolls, edge protectors, mattress covers and tape. Custom wooden crates are quoted per item because they're built to size.

How long does it take to pack a house?

For a full pack: about half a day for a one-bedroom, a day for two bedrooms, one to one-and-a-half days for three, and two days for four or more. Fragile-only work on an average home takes three to four hours. Book packing for the day before the move rather than the same morning.

Should I pack some things myself to save money?

Yes — partial packing is the best value option for most homes. Do your own clothes, books, shoes and linen, and let the crew handle crockery, glass, electronics, artwork and furniture. That's where the skill and the material actually matter.

Do you pack for international shipping?

Yes. Container consignments need stronger packing, tighter stacking and a numbered inventory list you can hand to your freight forwarder for customs. Tell us it's an export consignment at survey stage so the scope is set correctly from the start.

Are my items insured while being packed?

Goods-in-transit cover is available on request and must be arranged at quotation stage, before packing begins — it can't be added afterwards. The signed inventory taken at pack-up is what any claim is checked against, so review it before you sign.
