Who Our Package and Boxes Service Is For

Homeowners

Ideal if you are selling or buying in Earls Court and want your household carefully boxed before completion. We can pack entire homes, including fragile collections, artwork and valuable electronics.

Renters

Perfect for tenants in flats and shared houses moving between rentals. We can pack efficiently in smaller spaces and help you leave the property in good order for check-out.

Landlords

Landlords often use us to box and store a tenant's left-behind items or to prepare furnished properties for refurbishment. We can label boxes by room and item type for easier management.

Businesses

Offices, studios and small retailers in Earls Court rely on our service to pack files, IT equipment, stock and fixtures. We use appropriate boxes and anti-static wrapping where needed and maintain clear labelling for continuity at the new premises.

Students

Students moving in or out of halls or shared accommodation benefit from a simple, budget-conscious boxing service. We can pack, move and even store boxes during holidays.

What We Can and Cannot Pack

Items Typically Included

• Household contents – kitchenware, books, clothes, ornaments
• Electronics – TVs, computers, audio equipment
• Office contents – files, folders, stationery, small equipment
• Soft furnishings – bedding, cushions, curtains
• Small to medium decorative items and artwork

Items We Normally Exclude

For safety, legal and insurance reasons, our package and boxes service does not usually cover:

• Hazardous materials (paint, solvents, gas cylinders, fuel)
• Perishable or open food items
• Illegal or highly restricted items
• High-value jewellery, cash and important documents (we recommend you carry these personally)
• Large industrial machinery or specialist equipment without prior arrangement

If you are unsure whether something can be packed, we will advise during the survey stage.

Our Step-by-Step Package and Boxes Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

You contact us with your details, including property size, location in Earls Court, and your preferred dates. We ask a few questions about the volume and type of items to be packed. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote outlining labour, materials and transport.

2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

For anything beyond a very small job, we recommend a brief survey. This can be done virtually via video call or in person in Earls Court. We assess access, the number of rooms, fragile items, and any special requirements such as artwork or IT equipment. This ensures we bring the right boxes, materials and team size on the day.

3. Packing & Preparation

On the agreed date, our professional packers arrive on time with all required boxes and packing materials. We systematically pack room by room, using appropriate boxes and padding for each type of item. Boxes are sealed and labelled clearly by room and contents, helping both you and our movers during unloading.

4. Loading & Transport

Once packed, boxes are carefully stacked and loaded into our vehicles. We use industry-standard loading techniques to prevent movement in transit and to protect delicate items. Our goods in transit insurance provides additional reassurance while your belongings are on the road.

5. Unloading & Placement

At your new property or storage location, we unload boxes to the rooms you specify. We place them in logical positions to make unpacking easier, and we are happy to work with your own room labelling system where provided.

Transparent Pricing for Package and Boxes in Earls Court

We believe in straightforward, transparent pricing. Our quotes for package and boxes work typically include:

• Labour charges based on team size and estimated hours
• Cost of boxes and packing materials supplied
• Vehicle and fuel costs for transport
• Any additional services requested, such as dismantling

There are no hidden extras. If the scope changes (for example, more rooms than originally discussed), we explain any price adjustments clearly before proceeding.

Why Use Professional Packers Instead of DIY

Many people start packing themselves and quickly realise how time-consuming and physically demanding it can be. Using a professional package and boxes service offers several advantages:

• Correct box sizes and packing methods reduce the risk of breakage
• Faster completion, freeing your time for other move-related tasks
• Better use of space in the removal vehicle, potentially reducing trips
• Reduced strain and risk of injury
• Cover under our insurance, subject to terms and conditions

Compared with a casual man-and-van, you benefit from structured packing, proper materials, and a fully insured, accountable team that follows established procedures.

Insurance and Professional Standards

Our package and boxes work is backed by appropriate cover and professional practices:

• Goods in transit insurance for your belongings while they are in our vehicles
• Public liability cover to protect you and your property
• Trained packing and moving teams with regular on-the-job experience

We handle your possessions as if they were our own, following proven methods for wrapping, boxing and stacking. All staff are briefed on health and safety procedures and the specific requirements of working in Earls Court properties.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We aim to balance protection of your belongings with responsible use of materials. Our approach includes:

• Using high-quality, reusable boxes wherever possible
• Offering take-back of boxes for reuse on future jobs when agreed in advance
• Minimising waste by choosing the right size of box and padding
• Careful lifting and carrying practices to protect both items and property

Where appropriate, we can use clean, recycled paper and recommend options for reusing or recycling boxes after your move.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does your package and boxes service in Earls Court cost?

Costs depend on the size of your property, the volume of items, and whether we are providing a full or partial packing service. We base our pricing on the estimated time required, the number of packers, and the quantity of boxes and materials used. Local transport within Earls Court is then added if we are also moving the boxes. After a brief discussion or survey, we provide a detailed written quote so you know exactly what is included before you decide.

Can you offer same-day or urgent packing and boxes?

Same-day or urgent appointments are sometimes possible, especially for smaller flats or single-room jobs in Earls Court. Availability depends on our schedule and the size of the job. If you are working to a tight deadline, contact us as early as you can, and we will be honest about what we can realistically achieve. In many cases, we can at least provide partial emergency packing support to handle the most time-critical rooms and fragile items.

Are my belongings insured while being packed and moved?

Yes. While your goods are in our vehicles, they are covered by our goods in transit insurance, subject to policy terms. We also carry public liability cover for work carried out at your property. We pack using methods that minimise risk and ask you to highlight any particularly high-value or delicate items during the survey so we can plan accordingly. We will explain the key points of cover before work begins, so you understand how your belongings are protected.

What exactly is included in a package and boxes service?

Our standard service includes supply of suitable boxes, packing materials, and the labour to pack your agreed items safely. We label boxes by room or type of contents and prepare them for loading. If required, we can also provide loading, transport and unloading at your new address. Disassembly of simple furniture can often be added if agreed in advance. Items that we cannot pack, such as hazardous goods or valuables, will be clearly explained before the job so there are no surprises.

How is this different from a basic man-and-van service?

A basic man-and-van typically shifts items you have already boxed, often without providing materials or a structured packing process. Our package and boxes service focuses on professional packing using quality boxes, protective materials and trained staff. We plan the work in stages, label everything properly and load with care to reduce the risk of breakage. In addition, we are fully insured and follow established standards, giving you a higher level of reliability, accountability and protection than an informal service.

How far in advance should I book your package and boxes service?

For most moves in Earls Court, we recommend booking at least two to three weeks in advance, especially if you are moving at the end of the month or during peak periods. This allows time for a proper survey and planning and ensures we can allocate the right team. However, we understand that completion dates and tenancy changes are not always predictable, so we will always try to accommodate shorter notice where our schedule allows. The sooner you contact us, the more options we can offer.
