Full, partial or fragile-only packing, done by our own London crew. Book it on its own, or alongside your removal.
We pack homes and offices right across London, from our base in Wimbledon.
Materials and insurance are included in every quote. Book packing on its own, or with your removal.
Packing a home yourself starts as a plan and ends as a scramble. The boxes never turn up on time, the kitchen alone eats a whole day, and by Sunday night the bedroom is still untouched. Booking a packing service takes that off you. There are three ways to do it.
We pack the whole property, from the loft to the last drawer.
This is for busy households, seniors, or anyone who wants to hand the job over and turn up on moving day to a boxed home. Fragile items are wrapped, furniture is covered, and every box is labelled by destination room.
You pack what you want, and we pack the rest.
Most people ask us to do the kitchen, the wardrobes and the study, because those are the rooms that eat the most time. It keeps costs down while taking the hardest work off your shoulders.
For crockery, glassware, artwork, electronics and anything you would not want to wrap in a hurry.
Fragile-only is what most people actually need. If your clothes and books can go in a suitcase or a bin bag, this is often the smartest option.
For business moves, we also handle office moves with crates and labelling so your team is set up in the new space quickly.
One reason packing yourself takes so long is that it takes longer than you think. Here is a rough guide to how long two of our packers take by property size.
Where the time goes. The kitchen and the books eat the most of it. Every plate and every glass gets wrapped one by one, and a family bookshelf can be hundreds of items on its own. A single person doing it alone is usually a full weekend at minimum, and often more.
| Property size | Packing time |
|---|---|
| Studio to 1-bed flat | 2 to 4 hours |
| 2-bed home | 3 to 5 hours |
| 3-bed home | 5 to 8 hours |
| 4-bed home | 8 to 12 hours |
| 5-bed home | 10 to 14 hours |
Packing in London is charged by the hour, per packer. Across the sector, rates range from around £30 to £60 an hour for one packer. Our packing sits inside that range, and we quote it upfront with your removal, so you know the total before you book.
Packing is quoted with your move, so you get one total. You can see all our removal rates for the full list.
Materials are included in the price we quote you. No boxes on top, no bubble wrap on top, no tape on top. Some companies charge those separately. We do not. You can also book it with your house removal so one crew handles the whole day.
What we bring. Sturdy double-walled boxes in a few sizes, bubble wrap, clear film wrap, vinyl tape, packing paper, and covers for mattresses and sofas. All of it is included in the quote, and fragile items are wrapped and cushioned one by one.
Plain paper, not newspaper. Newspaper transfers ink onto crockery and books, so we use plain packing paper instead.
Small boxes for books. A full-size box of books becomes too heavy to lift safely, which is why book boxes are kept small on purpose.
Labelled by destination room. Every box is marked with the room it belongs in, so at the other end each one lands where it should. That single detail saves hours on unpacking day.
Insured from the first wrap. Every move is fully insured, with goods in transit cover, from the moment we start wrapping to the moment the last box is off the van.
Packing without unpacking is only half the job, so we can unpack for you too.
If your new place is not ready on the same day, we can put the boxes into storage until it is, and bring them back when you say.

Yes. Sturdy boxes, bubble wrap, clear film, tape and packing paper are all included in the quote. Some companies charge these on top. We do not.
Yes. Fragile-only packing covers your crockery, glassware, artwork and electronics. It is often what most people actually need, and it keeps the cost down.
Both are possible. For larger homes we often pack the day before so everything is boxed and labelled ready for a clean loading run. Smaller moves can be packed and loaded in the same day.
We will not pack cash, jewellery, important documents, medication, perishable food, or anything hazardous. These are things you should carry yourself.
Yes. We can unpack into destination rooms and take the used materials away with us. Just ask when you book.
One to two weeks of notice is ideal, especially in summer and around month-ends. Short-notice packing is often possible, so it is worth asking.
Sector rates in London are roughly £30 to £60 an hour per packer. We quote our packing upfront when we quote your removal. The final price depends on the property size, how much you are moving, whether it is full, partial or fragile-only packing, and whether you want unpacking too. Materials are included.
The packing days that overrun are almost always the ones where the house is not ready for us. A few small things make a big difference.
Book your packing today and we will handle the rest.
