Full packing services vary depending on the chosen company but will generally include the entire process of packing and transporting your belongings - from start to finish.

Professional movers will provide high-quality packing materials (like boxes, bubble wrap and sturdy tape), pack your items, organise them, transport them to the new location and, once there, unpack them and assemble any furniture.

 

How Much Does Full Packing Cost for Different Property Sizes?

 

Full packing costs will depend on the property sizes. A general rule of thumb is that a larger property size will have more items to move, resulting in a higher price.

What Factors Impact the Cost of Full Packing Services in the UK?

 

The cost of a full packing service will depend on various factors including: 

 

Property size

Larger homes will have more items to pack up so will be a more time-intensive job that requires more materials, meaning a higher cost.

Number of items 

The more items there are to pack, the longer the process and the higher the price.

Type of items

More delicate and high-value items will require additional packaging and a higher level of insurance.

Removal company

Each removal company will have their own pricing structure with different levels of service included. For example, at The Box Co., we price our moves from £199 and can adapt to any distance or level of service needed.

Packing materials

The amount of packing materials used, as well as the quality of the materials, will impact the overall price.

 

 

What Additional Services Might I Need for Packing Services?

 

Some removal companies will include all services as part of their full packing service. However, you should always check inclusions. You may need to contract additional services such as:

 

Packing and unpacking

Packing and unpacking services sometimes come at an additional cost.

 

Assembling and disassembling furniture

The service of putting together or taking apart furniture is sometimes charged as an additional service.

 

Storage solutions

You may require storage for your items during the process. Looking for the most affordable storage solutions can help keep costs low.

 

Do Removal Companies Pack For You?

 

Yes! Most removal companies will pack for you as part of their full packing service cost. Contracting full packing services involves expert packers wrapping up your items safely and securely with high-quality materials.

They can make sure to take extra care of fragile items and use materials that keep your items protected during the whole move.

 

Is It Worth Paying for a Full Packing Service?

 

Yes, a full packing service provides valuable peace of mind for many reasons and can also save you money in the long run.

When you hire a professional full packing service, you are investing in protecting your personal belongings. Removal companies are professionally trained to pack your items with skill and experience so that your belongings are kept secure during transit.

Here are some of the main reasons why a full packing service is worth it:

 

Extra protection

When professionals are in charge of packing your items, they make sure they are wrapped as safely as possible with the best materials to keep them safe.

 

Time-saving 

Professional movers do this for a living so they are experts at packing up your items as quickly and efficiently as possible. Doing it yourself can be a very time-consuming process.

 

Handled with care

Removal personnel are professionally trained to handle your items with care during the packing, transit and unpacking stages.

 

Last-minute moves

They can take the stress out of last-minute moves as everything is handled for you in a time-efficient way.

 

Awkward, bulky or fragile items

Professional movers have seen everything of all shapes and sizes so are used to being able to pack any awkward or bulky items, which can help with things like packing large furniture, as well as provide extra protection for fragile or valuable things.

 

Professional materials and equipment

They have access to high-quality materials and equipment for packing and transporting your items.

 

Minimises risk of damage

If you hire a team of professional movers, rather than doing it yourself, you minimise the risk of damage or breakages which could save a lot of money (and heartache!) in the long-run.
