What You Need to Prepare Before Your Packing Service
To help your packers work efficiently and to protect your items, here are steps you can complete beforehand:
- Declutter unwanted items; set aside things to donate or discard.
- Separate fragile / delicate items (china, glass, artwork) so they can receive extra protection.
- Empty contents of cupboards, wardrobes, drawers where possible.
- Label boxes by room / function.
- Clear access: move furniture, clear halls, ensure paths are safe & wide enough.
- Gather packing materials if you prefer some items packed by you (blankets, suitcases, small boxes).
- Think about special items: electronics, artwork, plants — note them to the team.
- Plan where packed boxes should go in your new home to make unpacking easier.
How Much Does Packing & Moving Cost?
While every quote is unique, here are the major factors that tend to affect the price:
- How many rooms or how much volume you need packed.
- Fragility of items: delicate, breakable, large items require more time and material.
- Complexity: taking down items, wrapping, special gear needed.
- Access: stairs, narrow entries, lifts, limited parking.
- Distance and travel time of the move.
- Timing: high demand periods or urgent bookings can cost more.
