Who Our Packing and Boxes Service Is For

Homeowners

If you are selling and moving out of a house in Roehampton, our full packing service can save you days of effort. We protect furniture, china, glassware, books, clothing and more, and clearly label every box so that your new home is easy to set up.

Renters

For tenants moving between flats or houses, time is often tight. We can pack your belongings the day before or on moving day, minimising disruption and helping you leave the property clean and ready for check-out.

Landlords

Landlords who need to clear or part-clear a property between tenancies can rely on our professional packing. We box and protect furniture, white goods and contents for storage, disposal or transfer to another property.

Businesses

Office and commercial moves require organised packing to keep downtime to a minimum. We pack files, IT equipment, stock and office furniture using methods that keep everything together and easy to locate at the new premises.

Students

Students in Roehampton halls and shared houses often have limited time and transport. We can provide boxes and materials or carry out a full pack and move to storage, home, or a new property at the end of term.

What We Pack – and What We Cannot Pack

Items Typically Included

• Everyday household items – clothing, books, ornaments, kitchenware
• Glassware, crockery and fragile items – carefully wrapped and boxed
• TVs, small appliances and general electronics
• Office files, documents and stationery
• Small and medium furniture items, dismantled where needed
• Pictures, mirrors and some artwork (with suitable protection)

Items We Normally Exclude

For safety and insurance reasons, we usually cannot pack or transport:

• Flammable or hazardous materials (paint, fuel, chemicals, gas bottles)
• Perishable or frozen food for long-distance or all-day moves
• Illegal or stolen items
• Cash, jewellery or high-value personal documents (we recommend you carry these yourself)
• Pets and live plants for some journeys (please ask for guidance)

If you are unsure about a particular item, we are happy to advise in advance so there are no surprises on the day.

Our Step-by-Step Packing and Moving Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

You contact us with basic details: your current address in Roehampton, destination, property size and what you need packed. We discuss your requirements, timings and any special items, then provide a clear, no-obligation quote outlining what is included.

2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

Depending on the size and complexity of the job, we may carry out a video or onsite survey. This lets us assess volume, access, parking, and any fragile or bulky items. It also helps us decide exactly how many boxes and what packing materials will be required.

3. Packing & Preparation

On the agreed date, our professional team arrives with all materials: double-walled boxes, wardrobe cartons, bubble wrap, paper and tape. We pack room by room, label each box clearly, and prepare furniture by wrapping and protecting vulnerable areas. If you are moving with us, we make sure everything is ready for safe loading.

4. Loading & Transport

Where we are also handling your move, our trained movers load the packed boxes and furniture carefully onto our vehicles, using blankets, straps and other protections. We plan the loading order to make unloading efficient at the new property and to reduce the risk of damage in transit.

5. Unloading & Placement

At your new address, we place boxes in the correct rooms according to the labels and your instructions. If you have chosen our unpacking service, we unbox items, remove packing materials and help you get the essentials set up so you can settle in more quickly.

Transparent Pricing for Packing and Boxes

We know that cost matters. Our pricing for Packing and Boxes in Roehampton is based on:

• Property size and volume of contents
• Level of service (full pack, part pack, or materials only)
• Special handling or fragile items
• Whether we are also providing the removal service

We do not hide add-ons; materials, labour and any travel charges are clearly listed in your quotation before you book. For small jobs, we may offer a fixed price. For larger homes or offices, we usually provide a tailored, itemised quote after a survey.

Why Use Professional Packers Instead of Doing It Yourself?

Packing looks simple until you have to wrap and box the entire contents of a property. Using a professional service offers several advantages over DIY or casual help:

• Correct materials and methods that reduce the risk of breakage
• Faster completion – what might take you days, we can often complete in a single visit
• Systematic labelling so you can actually find things when you arrive
• Less physical strain, especially with books, kitchen items and bulky belongings
• Better compatibility with insurance requirements if damage does occur

Online marketplaces and informal man-and-van services often cannot offer the same level of training, protection or accountability. With Roehampton Man and Van, you know exactly who is handling your possessions and how.

Insurance and Professional Standards

We take responsibility for the work we do. Our services are fully backed by:

• Goods in transit insurance – covering your items while they are being moved in our vehicle
• Public liability cover – for peace of mind when we are working on your premises
• Trained moving teams – our staff are instructed in safe lifting, packing techniques and property protection

Insurance is subject to terms and conditions, which we are happy to explain. We also advise on any limits or exclusions so you can make informed decisions, especially for high-value or unusual items.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

Looking after your belongings starts with the right materials. We use strong, double-walled boxes and quality wrapping to protect items in transit. Floors, doors and banisters are safeguarded where needed to avoid marks or damage to the property.

We also take a practical approach to sustainability. Wherever possible, we reuse clean, sound boxes and encourage customers to return materials for recycling or reuse. We avoid unnecessary plastic and select materials that offer good protection without excessive waste.

Real-World Uses of Our Packing and Boxes Service

Moving House in Roehampton

For families and individuals moving locally or further afield, our full packing service reduces stress dramatically. We can pack the day before completion, then move you out and into your new home efficiently.

Office and Commercial Relocations

Businesses rely on continuity. We provide organised packing of files, IT and office contents, often outside working hours, so you can reopen quickly at the new site with minimal disruption.

Urgent and Last-Minute Moves

Sometimes moves come up at short notice. Subject to availability, we can provide rapid packing support in Roehampton, focusing on key rooms and fragile items to get you safely out on time.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a packing and boxes service in Roehampton cost?

Costs depend mainly on the size of your property, how much you want us to pack, and whether we are also handling the move. A small flat needing a part pack will cost less than a full packing service for a large house. We typically base our prices on time required and materials used, with all charges clearly set out in your quote. The best way to get an accurate figure is to contact us with details of your property and contents so we can provide a tailored estimate.

Can you provide same-day or urgent packing?

Same-day or urgent packing in Roehampton is sometimes possible, depending on our schedule and the size of the job. For smaller flats, student rooms or partial packs, we can often respond at short notice. Larger homes and offices may require at least a brief survey to ensure we bring enough staff and materials. If you are under time pressure, let us know as early as you can; we will always be honest about what is realistic and suggest priorities if a full pack cannot be completed in one urgent visit.

Are my belongings insured while you pack and move them?

Yes. We provide goods in transit insurance for items we are transporting, along with public liability cover while we work on your premises. These policies are designed to protect you in the unlikely event of damage or an accident. There are always terms, conditions and value limits, which we are happy to explain before you book. We also advise you to tell us about any particularly high-value or unusual items so we can confirm they are covered appropriately and pack them with extra care.

What exactly is included in your packing and boxes service?

Our service includes the supply of quality boxes and packing materials, the labour to pack your belongings, labelling of boxes and basic protection of furniture and property. You can choose a full or part pack, and we can also provide unpacking at your new address if required. We discuss exclusions such as hazardous items or cash beforehand so everything is clear. If we are also moving you, loading, transport and unloading form part of the overall service; if you just need packing, we can stop at the point that suits you.

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

A basic man-and-van service often focuses purely on transport, leaving you to handle all packing and protection. Our approach is more comprehensive. We provide trained packers, appropriate materials, systematic labelling and insured transport tailored to home and office moves. We also plan access, parking and timing in detail, drawing on our local Roehampton experience. While simple man-and-van options may be fine for a few boxed items, most households and businesses benefit from the extra care, organisation and accountability that a dedicated removals and packing company provides.

How far in advance should I book packing in Roehampton?

For the best choice of dates, especially at busy times such as month-end and summer, we recommend booking at least two to three weeks in advance. This gives us time to survey your property if needed, plan staffing and ensure we have the right materials ready. That said, we regularly accommodate shorter-notice bookings where our schedule allows. If your moving date is not fixed yet, you can still speak to us early; we can pencil in provisional dates and advise on the likely time needed for packing based on your property size.
