Full pack, fragile-only, or just the boxes dropped off ahead of time. Whichever of those actually suits you.
A full pack means we arrive the day before the move and pack the entire house - kitchen, wardrobes, garage, the lot. It is the right call if you are working full time, moving with small children, or simply out of runway. People consistently underestimate how long a kitchen takes; it is usually most of a day on its own.
A fragile-only pack is the one we recommend most often. You handle the books, linen and clothes, which are forgiving and genuinely quick, and we handle the glassware, crockery, mirrors, artwork and screens - the things that actually break and the things that are expensive when they do. It costs a fraction of a full pack and removes most of the risk.
Materials only means we drop boxes, butcher's paper, bubble wrap and tape to you a week out, and you do the rest. Worth knowing: supermarket boxes are the most common cause of a crushed box on a truck, because they are not built to be stacked three high with weight on top.
Plates packed on edge rather than stacked flat, glassware individually wrapped, and the whole lot in a box that can take the weight.
Corner protection and purpose-made picture cartons, not a blanket and hope.
Wrapped and carried upright. If you still have the original box, keep it - nothing beats it.
Port-a-robes so hanging clothes travel on the rail and come out ready to hang, not creased in a bag.
The part everyone leaves until last. Tools, paint tins and half-used chemicals need sorting before the day, not on it.
We can unpack and take the empty boxes away, which is the bit people forget to ask about and then wish they had.
For a typical three-bedroom house, most of a day with a small team. We normally pack the day before the move rather than the morning of, so the truck can be loaded without waiting on boxes.
Yes - boxes, butcher's paper, bubble wrap, tape and port-a-robes. We can drop them off ahead of time if you are packing yourself.
That is what most people do, and we think it is sensible. Do the books, linen and clothes yourself and let us do the kitchen, glassware and artwork. You keep most of the saving and lose most of the risk.
Mattresses, lounges and bed heads get wrapped and covered rather than boxed. Anything unusually valuable or awkward is worth mentioning when we quote so the right materials are on the truck.
Yes, if you would like us to. Tell us when you book so we allow time for it on the day.
Pricing is by consultation — tell us what you're moving and we'll quote it free, with no obligation and no pressure.
