Packing, from the fragile rooms to the whole house

Full pack, partial pack, or just the kitchen and the artwork. Packed by the crew that loads the truck, which is why nothing gets lost between the two jobs.

How much packing you actually need

Packing is the single biggest lever on both cost and risk. Pick the level that matches your week, not the one that sounds thorough.

Full pack

We pack everything, usually the day before the move. Best when you are working through the week or the move is long distance.

Partial pack

You do the closets and the garage, we do the kitchen, the glass and the artwork. The most common choice.

Fragile only

Dishes, stemware, mirrors, screens and framed art. The items that account for most claims on a self packed move.

Custom crating

Built to size for marble, stone tops, chandeliers and anything with a value that will not survive a guess.

Materials on the truck

Dish packs, wardrobe boxes, mattress bags, TV cartons and paper come with the crew rather than being your errand.

Debris taken away

We take the cardboard and paper away after the unpack. You do not spend a fortnight flattening boxes.

How a pack runs

Agree the level

Room by room, so you know what we are packing and what you are keeping back.

Pack the day before

A full pack usually happens the day before the load, so moving day starts with the truck.

Label by room

Every box is labelled with the room it is going to, not the room it came from.

Unpack if you want it

We can unpack and take the debris, or leave the boxes for you to work through.

What packing costs depend on

How many rooms
And how full the cupboards actually are.
Materials used
Charged as used rather than estimated high.
Custom crates
Built to size, priced per crate.
Unpacking
Optional, and priced separately.

Packing questions

If you booked a self pack, yes: the crew arrives to load, not to finish your kitchen. If you are anywhere near unsure, book a partial pack. Half a house packed at 6am on moving day costs more in crew hours than the pack would have.

Yes, and most people do. Clothes, books and linens pack quickly and safely. Leave the glass, the artwork and anything with a screen to us, because that is where damage actually happens.

No fuel, propane, aerosols, ammunition, paint, pool chemicals or anything else flammable or corrosive. We will also ask you to carry your own passports, jewellery, medication and cash rather than putting them on a truck.

Yes, and they come on the truck with the crew. You can also buy materials from us ahead of time if you are packing yourself.
