Packing Services

If you would like to try and forget about the stress and strain of moving house, perhaps we can provide either a part or full packing service for you. Our staff have been trained to ensure that the items we pack arrive at your new home in perfect condition.

There are two main options, with variations available (more details available by request).

Part Packing Service

If, for insurance purposes, you would like us to pack a special dinner service and/or glassware and breakables, we can price this service per large carton (18" x 18" x20"), thus keeping cost to a minimum. We will use our quality packing cartons, packing paper and bubble wrap for this task ensuring that your precious items are transported safely to your new home, thus reducing the overall quantity of packing substantially.

If you have one or two large pictures and mirrors, we can pack these on an individual basis.

You may wish us to pack your clothing into our garment transporters. We can do this on the morning of the removal, ensuring the minimum of inconvenience if you need a varied amount of clothing up to the removal day, particularly useful if you need to utilise a business wardrobe.

Full Packing Service

If the whole task of packing seems endless and something you would like to avoid altogether, why not allow us to pack all your belongings ready for the removal day. Again we will use our specialist packing materials, including cartons, garment transporters and linen bags to ensure that your possessions arrive at your destination in perfect condition.

We will take special care of fragile items and ornate furniture, items which need attention at the packing stage, ensuring that they travel safely to your new home.

Professional packing of clothing and linen can save you the additional cost of dry cleaning bills and endless washing when you really want to be settling into your new home.

We will arrange a time at your convenience, either the day before or, several days before your removal, for us to come and pack your belongings, therefore...

Packing Materials

To ensure that your personal belongings are transported safely to your new home we recommend that you use top quality, professional packing materials. We are able to supply a comprehensive range of packing materials on a 'purchase and return surplus' basis and we are confident that they are purpose made for your removal as we have used these products ourselves for many years.

Packing Cartons These are available in three sizes and are provided in flat pack format. We recommend the use of large cartons for china, glass and other breakables. Books, records, food stuffs and heavy items can be transported in the smaller cartons. Actual sizes are:
Large carton	23” x 17” x 15” (Double Wall)	£1.70 each
Medium Carton	17” x 16” x 15 (Double Wall)	£1.00 each
Small BAR carton	14” x 13” x 18” (Single Wall)	£0.90 each
Small book carton	10” x 17” x 10” (Single Wall)	£0.40 each
Packing Paper Our packing paper is specifically made to provide protection for all china, glass and breakable items whilst in transit or storage. It will not leave any marks or residue behind when removed from your possessions. It is available in 12.5 kilo reams of approximately 700 sheets at a cost of £11.00 per ream. (One ream is usually sufficient for twenty large boxes of breakables). We can also provide a half ream at £6.00.
Garment Transporters If you want to minimalise creasing to your clothes, garment transporters are the ideal solution, at £5.00 each, particularly for suits and evening wear. Each transporter measures 18”x 20”x 40” when assembled and has a 18” hanging rail. The side section opens for use as a wardrobe, ideal if you have limited hanging space at your new home. We automatically carry garment transporters for your use to transport four feet of hanging items; no charge is made for their use on removal day.
Linen Bags To ensure that your linen, towels and bedding remain clean and dust free we stock linen bags at 80 pence each. These are manufactured from industrial grade polythene and each bag measures 26”x 36”x 48”. One bag will contain a king sized duvet effortlessly.
Bubble Wrap If you are transporting fragile items and pictures, bubble wrap is the ideal way to provide protection against breakages. We can provide this by the metre at a cost of £5.00 per ten metre length, or a forty five metre roll for £20.00.
Tape To ensure that your cartons are properly sealed for transportation purposes, we recommend that each carton is taped securely, across the top and bottom, in a cross manner to ensure maximum strength. Our tape is designed specifically for this use and will not peel away easily. At a cost of £1.80 per large roll, it is an essential for securing cartons and garment transporters.
Carpet Protector Our newest product has been developed to proved protection for carpets during the removal process. We automatically provide an eight-foot carpet runner for use during your removal. However, when moving into your new home, particularly if you have brand new carpeting, or a pale coloured carpet, our carpet protector which is available in 10 metre rolls provides a secure covering to prevent the transfer of any dust and dirt. At £15.00 per roll the cost is far outweighed by the benefit to your carpet!
Mattress/Suite Protectors If you would like us to wrap your bed bases and mattresses in a covering to stop any transit dust, we can provide transit covers priced from £1.50 up to £4.00 dependant upon the size required. Please request these prior to removal day, although our staff will be pleased to cover your items, as required, on the day of your removal.
