Packing Services

"With our comprehensive packaging service you won’t need to touch a thing!"

Most Packs are carried out the day before your move, on very rare occasions when there is hardly any packing required it may be carried out on completion day or move day if you are renting this will be clarified by your surveyor. With our comprehensive packaging service you won’t need to touch a thing! Just put your feet up and watch us work! The Surveyor will calculate how many boxes are required for your job and you will need to do nothing other than separate any items you might need that evening or the following day. Remember all items packed by us are insured.

Packing tips:

Please allow plenty of time to self pack it is all too easy to spend hours reminiscing over items not seen for years.
Please avoid over filling and under filling boxes.
A strong box is a full box.
If a box is sealed and level it can be stacked upon.
If an item is small enough to fit into a box then please put it in one.
Tiny objects should be wrapped in paper and kept in a specially marked box. Ensure liquids are in leak-proof containers and are not flammable.
When packing plates, Bowls or small pictures please ensure to wrap them in paper then stand them on their edges in the box, they are at their strongest in this position.

Packing Boxes

These will be delivered to you in good time before you move following your discussions with our surveyor. Please ensure both the top and bottom of the cartons, when packed, are securely sealed with parcel tape. To ensure you have the appropriate boxes for your items please note that we supply them in two different sizes: A third larger size is available upon request. All Boxes are double Walled. 18” x 12” x 12” 18” x 18” x 18″

Wardrobe Boxes

These will arrive with the removal team on the day of the move, the clothes hanging on rails will simply be placed onto the Rails within the Wardrobe boxes, your surveyor will calculate how many are required.

Self-assembly

Self-assembly furniture tends to be less rigid than ordinary furniture and we suggest that you dismantle such items prior to moving, unless previously arranged with our surveyor.

Heavy items

When packing, give a thought to our poor staff! Books, for example, can be very heavy and should be evenly distributed and mixed with lighter items. Please ensure we have been notified beforehand of any extra-heavy items such as a safe, piano, etc.

Delicate items

Glass and china items should be individually wrapped in paper and lighter items should be placed on top of heavier items.

Silverware

Silver items should be wrapped in acid-free tissue paper which we can supply if required.

Exclusions

We will not carry any jewellery or flammable items at all, including all types of household paint and gas bottles. For further details please refer to paragraph 5 of our Terms and Conditions.

Large boxes

Use these for clothes, cushions, toys, pots and pans, large china and glassware such as vases, and for large but relatively light items.

Small boxes

Use these for glass and china, books, records, paperwork and small heavy items.
