Packing
Luton · LUPacking done properly, so nothing arrives broken.
Packing is where a move is won or lost. Do it in a rush the night before and things get crushed; do it right and everything arrives exactly as it left. We can take the whole job off your hands, or just the parts you'd rather not risk.
Most breakages don't happen in the van — they happen in the box, because something was wrapped in a hurry or packed too loose. Good packing is quiet, patient work: the right box for the weight, paper in the gaps, fragile items cushioned so they can't shift. That's the part people underestimate, and the part we're happy to take on.
You choose how much you want us to do — the whole house, just the tricky rooms, or only the breakables. And when the move heads further afield, we pack to a tougher standard for the longer journey.
Levels of packing
As much or as little as you like
We pack everything
Hands-off from start to finish. Our crew packs the whole home — kitchen to loft — with the right materials, labels every box, and you don't lift a thing.
Best for busy households, larger homes, or anyone short on time.
We split the job
You handle the everyday boxes and leave us the parts you'd rather not — the kitchen, the wardrobes, the fragile shelves. A middle path that keeps you in control.
Best for confident packers who want a hand with the fiddly bits.
We protect the breakables
You do the bulk of the packing; we take on just the glass, china, mirrors, art and anything precious — wrapped and boxed to travel safely.
Best when you've got the boxes covered but not the risky items.
What's included
The care that goes into every box
-
Proper materials
Sturdy boxes, bubble wrap, packing paper, tape and covers — the right protection for each item, not whatever's lying around.
-
Fragile and awkward items
Glassware, mirrors, art, lamps and that odd-shaped heirloom wrapped, boxed and cushioned so nothing knocks about in transit.
-
Labelled by room
Every box marked by room and contents, so unloading is quick and nothing ends up in the wrong place at the new address.
-
Wardrobe and clothing
Hanging clothes moved on rails in wardrobe boxes, so they arrive ready to hang rather than creased in a heap.
-
Electronics and screens
TVs, computers and kit padded and boxed — and cables bagged and labelled so setup at the other end is painless.
-
Unpacking too
If you'd rather not face a wall of boxes, we can unpack at the new place and take the empties and packaging away.
Packing for a European move
Our European arm departs Luton for France, Spain, Italy and Portugal, and a longer road journey asks more of the packing. Export packing means sturdier crating for fragile and high-value pieces, extra cushioning for the miles, and inventories that keep customs paperwork straightforward. If you're moving abroad, we pack to that standard from the start.
