Packing done properly, the day before you move
Full-house or part packing using professional materials, with every carton labelled by room so unloading takes half the time.
- Full pack, part pack or fragiles only
- Double-walled boxes, paper and bubble wrap
- Room-by-room labelling for fast unpacking
- Wardrobe cartons for hanging clothes
Most breakages happen in the box, not in the van
Damage during a move rarely comes from a dropped box. It comes from a carton that was half full, under-cushioned and stacked three high, so the contents shifted every time the van turned a corner. Professional packing solves that with the right box size, the right fill and the right stacking order.
We offer three levels. Full packing means we arrive the day before and pack the entire property, from the loft to the kitchen cupboards. Part packing covers the rooms people most dread — usually kitchens, wardrobes and studies. Fragile-only packing means you handle the clothes and books while we take care of glassware, china, mirrors, artwork and electronics.
Everything is packed room by room and labelled on two faces with the destination room, so the unloading team never has to guess. Wardrobe cartons let hanging clothes travel on their rails and go straight back into the new wardrobe without a single iron.
If you would rather pack yourself, we can supply the same materials in advance — double-walled cartons, wardrobe boxes, tissue, bubble wrap, tape and marker pens — delivered to your door across Manchester, Wigan and Bolton.

Packing FAQs
How much does packing cost?
Packing is charged at the same hourly rates as removals — £45 for one packer, £70 for two — plus materials at cost. A typical two-bedroom full pack takes four to six hours.
When do you pack?
Usually the day before the move, so moving day starts with loading rather than boxing up. Small jobs can be packed and moved the same day.
Can I just buy the boxes?
Yes. We supply cartons, wardrobe boxes, wrap and tape for self-packers and deliver them across our coverage area.
Do you unpack at the other end?
We can unpack into cupboards and wardrobes and take all the empty packaging away with us.
Is there a minimum booking for packing?
Yes, the standard two-hour minimum applies — £100 with one packer, £160 with two — then 30-minute blocks after that.
Do stairs or flats cost more on packing day?
No. The per-floor flat surcharge applies to carrying goods on moving day, not to packing. Lift access is free either way.
How do you quote for packing?
Tell us the property size, how many fragile or specialist items there are and whether you want a full or part pack. We will give you an hourly estimate and a materials figure, usually within the hour.
How far in advance should I book packing?
A week is comfortable for a full house pack, as we need to schedule the day before your move. Part packs of a room or two can often be fitted in at short notice.
