Packing service in Guildford

Packing is the part of a move that takes the longest if you do it after work. We can pack a kitchen, the fragile rooms, or the whole house before the van arrives.

Packing that matches the move

A packing service is there so the move itself is not spent wrapping plates at midnight. We pack for house removals and for flat removals. You choose the rooms. We do not need to pack a shed full of garden tools unless you want them to travel.

Guildford kitchens vary. A Victorian terrace can have a narrow galley and a lot of glass. A newer house in Merrow or Cranleigh may have more cupboard space and more of it. We pack to the room, label by cupboard where that helps, and leave you a box of things for the first night.

What helps on the day

Clear what is not moving. Charity bags and the tip run are yours to arrange before we arrive.
Empty the fridge the day before if the kitchen is in the job.
Point out antiques, instruments and anything that needs a particular wrap.
Keep one room, or one corner, as the place for bags that stay with you.

Insurance is provided. Ask what is covered for packed goods when you book.

What affects the cost

How many rooms

A kitchen and two fragile cupboards is a shorter job than a four-bedroom house with a garage full of boxes.

How full the rooms are

Empty shelves pack quickly. A house that has not been sorted takes longer, and you may want to clear what is not moving first.

Fragile and awkward items

Glass, mirrors, lamps and pictures need more time than books and linen.

When we pack

Packing on the same morning as the move can work for a small flat. A larger house is calmer if packing is a separate visit.

How our packing service works

1
Choose what we pack
The whole house, the kitchen only, or just pictures and china. A clear list keeps the quote honest.
2
Book it before moving day
Packing a family house takes hours. We usually pack the day before, or the morning of the move if the volume is small.
3
Pack room by room
We finish one room before starting the next, so you can see what is done and what you still want to keep with you.
4
Leave an essentials box
Kettle, mugs, bedding, medicines and chargers stay out unless you ask us to pack them. You should carry documents yourself.

Packing service FAQs

Can you pack only the kitchen?

Yes. Many people pack clothes and books themselves and ask us to do the kitchen, glass and pictures. Say that when you book.

Do you supply boxes?

Yes, for the rooms we pack. If you are packing yourself and only want boxes, tell us how many rooms you have so we send a sensible amount.

Should I unpack as well?

We can unpack the boxes we packed if that is on the quote. It is usually the kitchen and the rooms you need first, not every carton in the house.

What should I not leave for the packers?

Passports, cash, jewellery, medicines and anything of sentimental value you would rather keep in the car. Tell us about wine, paint and other items that should not go on the van.
