Packing services
Our packing service for moving house covers everything from a full home to just the kitchen and the breakables. Proper materials, room-by-room labels, and an essentials box so the first night actually works.
Glassware wrapped piece by piece. Mirrors and framed photos boarded. Wardrobes transferred on the rail into wardrobe boxes so nothing needs ironing twice. In February 2025 we packed the Mercer family's four-bedroom house in Brewood after 18 years in it, room by room, with a separate essentials box for the first night. Their cat claimed an open box as a throne. Standard.
Heavy books go in small boxes, the classic box-of-bricks mistake avoided. Kitchen cupboards always hide one more cupboard, so we plan kitchen time honestly instead of rushing the part of the house with all the breakables in it.
Most people do not need the whole house packed. The popular version is the fragile pack: kitchen, glassware, ornaments and artwork done by us, clothes and books done by you. It cuts the bill and still protects the things that actually break.
At the other end we can unpack, flatten and remove the boxes the same day. The Thornborough move is the honest pitch for it: packed for her, moved, then unpacked at the new house. Her review called us the best she had ever used, and she had moved alone before.
A full pack is normally done the day before the move, so moving day starts with loading rather than wrapping. As a rough guide a three-bedroom house is a day for a small team, a four-bed or a house with a lot of china and books a little longer, and a part-pack of just the fragile rooms can happen on the morning itself. We plan the timing honestly when we see the job, because a rushed kitchen is where breakages come from.
Everything is labelled by room and contents as it is packed, heavy items kept in small boxes, and an essentials box set aside for the kettle, chargers and the first night. That labelling is what makes unpacking quick, whether you do it yourselves or have us empty the boxes and take the packaging away.
The materials are part of the service and they are proper ones, not begged supermarket boxes that collapse halfway down the stairs:

February 2025
Dean Street, Brewood ST19Shrewsbury SY3
4 bedroomsThe family had lived there for 18 years, so the airing cupboard alone had developed its own civilisation. The team packed room by room, labelled clearly and made a separate essentials box for the first night. Their cat, Poppy, claimed one open box as her throne.
"The packing labels saved our sanity at the other end."

Broad Street, Birmingham B1Solihull B91
2 bedroom flatThe client had a lot of glassware and a very nervous look whenever anyone touched it. Each piece was wrapped individually, with heavier items separated and boxes marked clearly.
"Not one glass broken. I genuinely checked twice because I did not believe it."

Walsall Road, Cannock WS11Wombourne WV5
5 bedroomsSeveral framed family photos needed extra care, and one large mirror looked like trouble from the start. It was wrapped, boarded and loaded separately. Their grandson asked whether the team could also pack his homework so it got lost forever.
"Patient, careful and lovely with the family."

Bilston Street, Dudley DY3Wolverhampton WV4
bungalow contentsThe client wanted partial packing, mainly ornaments, books and the loft finds that nobody remembered owning. The team sorted heavy books into small boxes, avoiding the classic 'box of bricks' situation.
"They made the awkward bits feel easy."
Reviews
"Sean and the team were amazing. They packed up the house, moved us and unloaded the two trucks. They worked super hard and always with a smile. If you need to move..."

"Used these guys to move from Wednesbury to Bromsgrove. I was a bit apprehensive because I had so many fragile goods and wanted the utmost care given to them… I shouldn’t have..."

Just mention it when you get in touch and the discount comes straight off your written quote, on any move from a single item to a full house.
It depends on the size of the house and whether you want full packing or just the fragile rooms, so we quote it alongside your removal. Tell us what you want packed and the figure comes back the same day, itemised so you can trim it if you like.
Yes. Double-walled boxes, packing paper, bubble wrap, tape and wardrobe boxes are all part of the service. You do not need to buy or scrounge anything.
Yes, part packing is the most popular option. We do the kitchen, glassware, mirrors and artwork; you do the wardrobes and bookshelves. It protects the breakable stuff without paying for a full pack.
Usually the day before for a full pack, so moving day starts with loading rather than wrapping. Smaller part-packs can happen on the morning of the move. We will recommend the right plan when we see the size of the job.
Yes. We can unpack room by room, set furniture where you want it, and take the empty boxes and paper away with us, so you start the first evening in a home rather than a warehouse.
It varies with the size of the house and how much you have, but as a very rough start a two-bed flat is often around 30 to 40 boxes and a four-bed house comfortably over a hundred. If we pack for you the boxes are included; if you are packing yourself, our free box and van calculator gives you a tailored estimate in about a minute.
