Packing

Packing services in South West London

Full or fragile-only. Every box labelled by room.

Packing is the part everyone underestimates. A two-bedroom flat is usually two full days if you are doing it yourself around a job, and it is almost always the reason a move starts late.

We do it two ways. Full packing means we bring the materials and pack the whole place, usually the day before. Fragile-only means you do the books and the clothes — the bulky, unbreakable things — and we do the glassware, the crockery, the pictures and the lamps.

Either way, every box is labelled with the room it is going to, not the room it came from. Standing in an empty hallway at six in the evening, that is the difference between unpacking and archaeology.

The awkward bits

Things worth telling us about

Mention these when you ask for a price and they get priced in, rather than sprung on you later.

What you want us to touch

Some people would rather pack their own bedroom. Completely fine — tell us and we price around it.

Anything genuinely valuable

Artwork, instruments, anything with real value needs declaring, so it is both covered properly and packed properly.

Kitchens take the longest

A full kitchen is often half the packing time on its own. Worth a mention when you ask for a price.

When you need it done

The day before is normal. Same day is possible for smaller places, but it makes for a long day.
