Packing
Most damage in a move happens before the lorry moves. Packing is where a move is won, so we treat it as its own service — book it with a move, or on its own if you are moving yourself.
How it runs
What actually happens on the day.
Materials to your list
Boxes, wrapping, tape and markers brought to your address in the quantities the job needs.
Fragile items first
Glass, mirrors, crockery and electronics are wrapped and boxed before anything else goes near them.
Labelled as we go
Every box is marked with the room it belongs to and whether it is fragile.
Unpacking too, if you want
We will come back and unpack, and take the empty boxes away with us.
Included
- Boxes, wrapping, tape and markers
- Packers who do the lifting
- Clear room and fragility labelling
- Waste removal after unpacking
