What We Pack – and What We Cannot Pack

Items Included in Our Packing Service

We can safely pack most household and business items, including:

• Furniture, mirrors and glass tops (with padding and wrapping)
• Kitchenware, crockery, glassware and cookware
• Books, ornaments, pictures and artwork
• Clothing, bedding, linen and soft furnishings
• Computers, TVs, audio equipment and small appliances
• Office files, archive boxes, stationery and general equipment

Items We Exclude or Handle by Special Arrangement

For safety and insurance reasons, we cannot pack or move certain items, including:

• Flammable or hazardous materials (paints, chemicals, gas bottles)
• Perishable or open food and liquids
• Live plants in poor condition or heavily infested soil
• Cash, jewellery and important documents (we recommend you carry these yourself)
• Large safes or specialist machinery without prior survey

If you have unusual, very high-value or fragile items such as fine art, antiques or specialist equipment, we can often accommodate them with custom packing following a survey.

Our Step-by-Step Packing and Moving Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

You contact Movers Marylebone with details of your move, where you are moving from and to, and what help you would like. We ask about property size, access, dates and any special items. Based on this, we provide an initial, no-obligation estimate for packing and boxes along with any transport or storage you require.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For anything more than a very small move, we arrange a virtual or onsite survey. This lets us see volumes, furniture types, stairways, lifts and parking. We can then confirm the correct number of packers, the right materials and realistic timings. Surveys also allow us to identify any fragile or high-value items needing special attention.

3. Packing & Preparation

On the agreed day, our team arrives with all necessary materials: strong double-walled boxes, tape, paper, bubble wrap, wardrobe cartons and export wrap where required. We:

• Protect floors and high-traffic areas where needed
• Pack room by room, labelling each box clearly
• Dismantle agreed furniture such as beds and tables
• Prepare fragile items using appropriate wrapping and padding

4. Loading & Transport

Once packed, boxes and furniture are moved to our vehicles using correct lifting techniques and equipment. Everything is stacked and secured to minimise movement in transit. Our vehicles are clean, well-maintained and fully equipped with transit blankets, straps and trolleys.

5. Unloading & Placement

At your new property, we unload in an organised way, placing boxes and furniture into the correct rooms as labelled. If you have chosen our unpacking service, we will also unbox agreed items, remove used packing materials and reassemble furniture that we dismantled.

Transparent Packing and Boxes Pricing

We price our packing and boxes service clearly, based on:

• Volume of goods to be packed
• Level of service (full pack, part pack, fragile-only)
• Number of packers and estimated hours required
• Materials used: boxes, wrap, tape and specialist cartons

Your written quotation sets out labour and materials separately wherever possible, so you can see exactly what you are paying for. There are no hidden extras: any potential additional costs (such as late access or extra packing on the day) are explained in advance.

Why Choose Professional Packing Over DIY

Many people begin by thinking they will pack themselves, only to find it far more time-consuming and risky than expected. Using Movers Marylebone offers several advantages:

• Trained packers who know how to protect fragile and awkward items
• Correct, industry-standard materials rather than reused or weak boxes
• Faster completion – often a full home packed in a single day
• Lower risk of breakages, damage and injury
• Better organisation, making unpacking easier and quicker

DIY or casual man-and-van packing may appear cheaper initially, but the cost of replacing damaged items or dealing with delays often outweighs any savings.

Insurance and Professional Standards

We take our responsibility for your belongings seriously. Movers Marylebone is:

• Fully insured with goods in transit cover for your items while they are being moved
• Protected by public liability insurance for work carried out in your home or business
• Staffed by trained, uniformed and experienced removal teams

Our packers follow documented procedures for handling fragile, valuable and bulky items. Claims are rare, but you have the reassurance that proper cover is in place if something does go wrong.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We aim to balance strong protection for your belongings with a responsible approach to materials. We use quality double-walled cartons designed for multiple uses and encourage clients to return or reuse boxes where possible. Whenever practical, we minimise plastics and select recyclable or reusable products.

During packing, we treat your property and possessions with care: protecting floors and doors where necessary, avoiding unnecessary tape on delicate surfaces and keeping access routes clear. Our focus is on safe, efficient handling rather than rushing.

Real-World Use Cases

Moving House in Marylebone

Families and individuals moving between flats and houses in Marylebone use our full packing service to save time around work and school commitments. We can often pack the entire property the day before the move, so you are ready for completion and key collection.

Office and Commercial Moves

Businesses rely on us to pack IT equipment, desks, files and stock in a structured way that allows them to resume trading quickly. We can schedule packing outside normal working hours to minimise disruption.

Urgent or Short-Notice Moves

When a sale progresses quickly or a tenancy end date moves forward, our team can often provide urgent packing support. Subject to availability, we mobilise additional packers to get you ready to move within tight timeframes, handling last-minute packing calmly and methodically.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does professional packing and boxes cost?

Costs depend mainly on the volume of items, the level of service you choose and the materials required. A small flat with a part-pack service will cost significantly less than a large family home with a full pack and unpack. After a brief discussion or survey, we provide a clear, written quotation outlining labour and materials separately. This way you can see exactly what you are paying for and adjust the scope if needed to suit your budget.

Can you offer same-day or urgent packing in Marylebone?

Where our schedule allows, we do our best to help with same-day or short-notice packing in Marylebone. Availability depends on how many crews and materials we already have committed on that day. If you need urgent assistance, contact us as early as possible with your property size, location and deadline. We will confirm what level of service we can realistically provide and give you an honest assessment of timescales before you commit.

Are my belongings insured while you are packing and moving them?

Yes. Your goods are covered under our goods in transit insurance while we are handling and transporting them, subject to our terms and conditions. We also hold public liability insurance for work carried out on your premises. We explain the key points of cover, including any limits or exclusions, as part of your quotation. If you have particularly high-value items, let us know during the survey so we can discuss any additional protections or documentation required.

What exactly is included in your packing and boxes service?

Our standard service includes the supply of professional moving boxes, packing paper, tape and protective wrapping, along with trained staff to pack agreed items. We label boxes by room and content, dismantle specified furniture where necessary and prepare everything for safe loading onto our vehicles. You can choose a full pack, where we handle almost everything, or a part pack focusing on fragile and complex items. Unpacking and removal of used materials can also be added if you want a more complete solution.

How is your service different from a basic man-and-van?

A casual man-and-van usually provides transportation only, with little attention to structured packing, insurance or planning. Movers Marylebone offers a managed service: trained crews, quality materials, clear labelling and proper insurance. We survey where appropriate, advise on what can and cannot be transported and take responsibility for packing your goods safely. This reduces the risk of breakage, delays and disputes, giving you a more predictable and professional experience from start to finish.

How far in advance should I book packing and boxes?

For the best choice of dates, we recommend booking your packing service at least two to three weeks before your move, especially if you are moving at month-end or during busy periods. That said, we often accommodate moves at shorter notice, particularly for smaller properties. Once you have a likely moving date, it is sensible to get in touch so we can schedule a survey, agree the scope of packing and reserve a team for you.
