Packing and Boxes

Packing and Boxes in Roehampton by Roehampton Movers

At Roehampton Movers, our specialist Packing and Boxes service in Roehampton is designed to take the stress and guesswork out of preparing for your move. Using high-quality packing materials and proven techniques, we protect your belongings so they arrive in the same condition they left.

Professional Packing and Boxes Service Explained

Our packing service covers everything from supplying the right boxes through to carefully wrapping, labelling and preparing items for safe transport. Whether you need a full packing service for an entire house or just a few fragile items, our trained teams work methodically and respectfully in your home or workplace.

We use strong double-walled cartons, specialist wardrobe and picture boxes, and appropriate wrapping materials to ensure each item is properly supported. Every box is clearly labelled to make unloading and placement straightforward at your new address.

Local Packing Specialists in Roehampton

Working day in, day out across Roehampton and the surrounding areas, we understand the realities of moving locally – from tight stairwells and mansion blocks to residential parking restrictions and lift access. This local knowledge helps us choose the right packing approach, box sizes and timings for your specific property.

As a Roehampton-based company, we’re close at hand for pre-move visits, last‑minute additional boxes and flexible packing dates. You deal with a professional, established local team rather than a distant call centre.

Who Our Packing and Boxes Service Is For

Homeowners

If you’re moving house in or around Roehampton, our full packing service can handle entire properties, including garages, lofts and outbuildings. We save you weeks of evening and weekend packing, and reduce the risk of breakages.

Renters

Tenants often need to move quickly and leave a property clean and tidy. We provide efficient packing, including disassembly of basic furniture where required, so you can hand back the keys on time and focus on your next place.

Landlords

For furnished lets, student properties or end-of-tenancy clearances, we can pack and box items for storage, refurbishment or redistribution. This is particularly useful when preparing a property for new tenants or refurbishment.

Businesses

Offices, clinics, shops and studios rely on careful packing to keep operations running smoothly. We offer professional packing of files, IT equipment, stock and office furniture, with clear labelling to minimise downtime at the new premises.

Students

Students in Roehampton halls or shared houses benefit from cost‑effective part‑packing. We can provide the right size boxes and pack fragile or bulky items, leaving you to handle clothing and personal bits at your own pace.

What We Pack – and What We Don’t

Items Typically Included

• Household contents: ornaments, books, kitchenware, linens and clothing
• Fragile items: glassware, crockery, mirrors, pictures and lamps
• Electronics: TVs, computers, monitors, printers and small appliances
• Flat-pack and light furniture that can be safely boxed or part-disassembled
• Office contents: files, stationery, IT peripherals and small equipment

Items We Normally Exclude

For safety and insurance reasons, there are some items we cannot pack:

• Hazardous materials: paints, solvents, gas cylinders, fuel, chemicals
• Perishable or open food items
• Cash, jewellery, important documents and other high-value personal items (these are best carried by you)
• Pets and live plants that may not travel well in closed boxes

We’ll discuss any borderline items during your survey so there are no surprises on the day.

Our Step-by-Step Packing and Moving Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

Contact us by phone or online with your moving details, and tell us if you need full or part packing. We’ll ask a few questions about the size of your property, special items and timings. Based on this, we provide a clear, written quotation outlining labour, materials and any additional services.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For larger moves, we arrange a virtual or onsite survey. This allows us to see access, volume and any fragile or unusual items. We can then recommend the right level of packing, materials and crew size. The survey ensures the quote is accurate and that we arrive properly prepared.

3. Packing & Preparation

On your chosen packing day (often the day before the move for full packing), our trained team arrives with all materials. We protect surfaces, then methodically pack room by room, wrapping fragile items and dismantling agreed furniture. Each box is labelled by room and contents, and a simple inventory can be produced on request.

4. Loading & Transport

Once everything is boxed and ready, we load the vehicle carefully, with heavier boxes at the base and fragile items secured. Goods are covered by our goods in transit insurance while on the vehicle. Our experienced drivers plan routes to avoid unnecessary jolts and delays where possible.

5. Unloading & Placement

At the new address, we unload and place boxes in the correct rooms as labelled, placing furniture where you request. If you’ve opted for unpacking, we can unbox items onto flat surfaces and take away used materials for recycling, leaving you to settle in more quickly.

Transparent Pricing for Packing and Boxes in Roehampton

We price our packing and boxes service clearly and fairly, taking into account:

• Property size and volume of contents
• Level of service (full packing, part packing, fragile‑only, or supply of boxes only)
• Number of packers required and time on site
• Type and quantity of packing materials used

You’ll receive a detailed quotation so you know exactly what is included. We do not hide packing costs within vague “extras”. Where possible, we offer fixed prices for clearly defined work, with any optional additions listed separately.

Why Choose Professional Packing Over DIY or Casual Man-and-Van

It’s tempting to pack yourself or rely on a casual man-and-van, but this often leads to overfilled, weak boxes, damaged items and stressful moving days. Our professional packers use the right materials and methods for each item, significantly reducing the risk of breakage and claims.

Because our packing service is integrated with our removals, we can plan the entire move efficiently. Boxes are sized for safe lifting, labelled properly and stacked correctly on the vehicle. This level of organisation is hard to achieve with DIY or ad‑hoc services.

Insurance and Professional Standards

Roehampton Movers operates with comprehensive cover and robust standards:

• Goods in transit insurance for your belongings while they are being transported on our vehicles
• Public liability cover for peace of mind while we’re working in your property
• Trained moving teams who follow safe lifting, packing and handling procedures

We maintain clear documentation and can supply proof of insurance upon request. If something unforeseen does happen, we follow a fair and straightforward claims process.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

Looking after your belongings starts with using appropriate protection: export wrap, bubble wrap, paper, mattress covers and furniture blankets. We also protect floors and vulnerable surfaces during packing.

We are conscious of sustainability. Wherever possible, we use recyclable cardboard, re‑usable plastic crates and re‑use certain protective materials between moves. On unpacking jobs, we can collect used boxes and paper for re‑use or responsible recycling, helping to minimise waste from your move.

Real-World Use Cases

Moving House in Roehampton

For full household moves, we often pack the day before completion, allowing you to continue living normally until close to moving day. This is particularly helpful for families and busy professionals.

Office and Business Relocations

We regularly pack offices in phases so that critical departments remain operational as long as possible. Colour‑coded labelling and clear box markings help staff find what they need quickly at the new site.

Urgent and Short-Notice Moves

When moves arise unexpectedly, our packing team can step in at short notice, bringing all necessary boxes and materials. This avoids the scramble for packaging supplies and rushed, unsafe packing.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does your packing and boxes service cost?

Costs vary depending on property size, volume of belongings and the level of service you choose. A small flat with fragile‑only packing will be much cheaper than a full packing service for a large family home. We base prices on labour time and the materials used, such as cartons, wrapping paper and tape. After a brief discussion or survey, we provide a clear written quote so you can see exactly what you’re paying for and adjust the level of service to suit your budget.

Can you provide same-day or urgent packing in Roehampton?

Where our schedule allows, we can offer same‑day or short‑notice packing in Roehampton, particularly outside peak periods. If your plans have changed suddenly or a move date has been brought forward, contact us as soon as possible. We’ll confirm what we can realistically achieve in the available time, and whether we recommend a full or partial packing service. While we can’t guarantee emergency availability every day, we will always do our best to accommodate urgent requests safely.

What insurance cover do you provide for packed items?

Items that we pack and transport are covered by our goods in transit insurance, subject to standard terms and conditions. We also hold public liability cover for work carried out on your premises. We’ll explain any limits or exclusions during the quotation stage, and can advise on additional cover if you have particularly high‑value or unusual items. It’s important you tell us about anything especially valuable so we can agree the best way to protect it and ensure it’s properly noted on our paperwork.

What exactly is included in your packing and boxes service?

Our service can be tailored, but typically includes supply of quality boxes, packing paper, tape and protective materials, plus the labour to pack and label contents room by room. For full packing, we handle almost all household or office items that are safe to transport, and can dismantle simple furniture by prior agreement. We can also offer an unpacking service at your new address and removal of used cartons. Hazardous materials, perishable food and high‑value personal items are excluded and should be managed by you.

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

A casual man-and-van usually expects you to pack everything yourself, often with little guidance or protection for fragile items. Our service includes trained packers, appropriate professional materials, methodical labelling and full coordination with the removals team. This reduces breakages, speeds up loading and unloading, and gives you clearer accountability if something goes wrong. We also operate with formal insurance and written terms, whereas ad‑hoc services may not, leaving you more exposed in the event of damage.

How far in advance should I book packing and boxes?

For best availability, we recommend booking your packing service 2–4 weeks before your move, especially during busy periods such as month‑end and summer. This gives us time to conduct a survey if needed, plan the right crew and order any specialist materials. However, we understand that completions and rental dates can move, so we always try to be flexible. If your plans are uncertain, we can pencil in provisional dates and firm them up once your move is confirmed.
