Step-by-Step Packing and Moving Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us with a brief description of your property and what you need packed. We discuss your requirements, timescales and access, then provide a clear, no-obligation quote covering packing, materials and transport if required.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For larger moves, we carry out a video or onsite survey around Earls Court. This lets us see the volume of items, assess fragile or high-value pieces, and check parking and access. The survey helps us plan the right number of staff, the right size vehicle and the exact materials needed.
3. Packing & Preparation
On the agreed day, our trained packing team arrives with all materials. We protect floors where needed, then carefully pack room by room. Boxes are labelled by room and contents, and fragile items are wrapped using paper, bubble wrap and specialist materials. Furniture can be disassembled and protected if part of your service.
4. Loading & Transport
If you are also using our removals service, we load the packed boxes and furniture onto our vehicles using safe handling techniques and securing everything for transit. Vehicles are equipped with transit blankets, straps and trolleys to reduce movement and prevent damage.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new property, we unload and place boxes in the correct rooms according to the labels. On request, we can help with basic unpacking and removal of used boxes, leaving you with a more organised space from day one.
Transparent Pricing for Packing and Boxes in Earls Court
We price our packing and boxes service clearly and fairly. Costs are based on:
- Property size and volume of contents
- Level of service – full packing, partial packing or pack-only materials
- Number of packers required and hours needed
- Whether transport and unloading are included
Your quote will always show labour and materials separately so you understand exactly what you are paying for. There are no hidden extras; any potential additional charges (for example, very long carries or special access arrangements) are discussed in advance.
Why Choose Professional Packing Instead of DIY
Self-packing often leads to underestimated time, poorly filled boxes, and increased risk of damage. Our professional packers use the right box sizes, correct wrapping methods and logical labelling so your move runs efficiently and safely.
Choosing Earls Court Man and Van means:
- Trained crews who pack daily and know how to protect fragile items
- Less risk of breakages and last-minute panic
- Better use of vehicle space and fewer trips
- Reduced physical strain and stress for you
This is a step up from a casual man-and-van service: you get structured planning, labelled packing and insured, professional handling throughout.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Your belongings are important, so our service is backed by appropriate cover and standards:
- Goods in transit insurance to protect your items while they are being moved
- Public liability cover for work in your home, building or office
- Trained moving teams who follow best practice for lifting, packing and handling
We treat every property with respect, from communal corridors in Earls Court mansion blocks to shared hallways in rented flats. Our crews are uniformed, punctual and focused on safe, careful work.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We aim to combine high levels of protection with a responsible approach to materials. We use strong, re-usable crates where appropriate, and recyclable cardboard boxes and paper for most packing. We avoid unnecessary plastics and reuse materials in good condition whenever possible.
Floors, bannisters and doorways can be protected with covers and blankets to prevent scuffs. Fragile items are double-wrapped or crated, and loads are secured in the vehicle to minimise movement in transit. Our goal is simple: your belongings arrive in the same condition they left.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does packing and boxes service cost in Earls Court?
Costs vary depending on the size of your property, how much there is to pack and whether you need a full or partial packing service. For a small flat, packing can often be completed in half a day, while larger homes require more time and staff. Your quote will itemise labour and materials so you can see exactly what you’re paying for. Contact us with brief details of your move and we’ll provide a clear, no-obligation estimate tailored to your Earls Court property.
Can you provide same-day or urgent packing?
We can often help with same-day or short-notice packing in Earls Court, especially outside peak times. Availability depends on our schedule and the size of the job. For urgent moves, we’ll prioritise essential areas first – typically bedrooms and kitchen – then pack remaining rooms as time allows. It’s always best to call us as soon as you know your dates so we can allocate a team. We’ll be honest about what is realistically achievable within your timeframe.
Are my belongings insured while being packed and moved?
Yes. Our service includes goods in transit insurance for items we handle and move, as well as public liability cover for work in your property. This provides reassurance that, in the unlikely event of damage caused by us, there is appropriate cover in place. We’ll explain any limits, exclusions or special conditions before work starts, and we’ll advise you on items that should be carried personally, such as jewellery, cash and important documents.
What exactly is included in your packing and boxes service?
Our standard service includes supply of suitable boxes, wrapping materials and tape; professional packing of agreed items; labelling by room and contents; and preparation of everything for safe loading. We can also dismantle basic furniture, protect mattresses and wrap fragile or high-value items. If you use our removals as well, we’ll load, transport and unload at your new property. Any exclusions or special requirements are discussed during the survey so there are no surprises on the day.
How is your service different from a basic man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van typically provides vehicle and lifting only, leaving you to source boxes and pack yourself. Our service is professional and structured: we survey, plan, supply materials, pack methodically, label everything and provide insurance-backed transport. Crews are trained in safe packing and handling, so there’s less risk of breakages and delays. For clients in Earls Court who value time, predictability and care, our approach offers a far more reliable and organised move than an ad-hoc van hire option.
How far in advance should I book packing and boxes?
Ideally, book 2–3 weeks before your move, especially during busy periods such as month-end or summer. This gives us time to carry out a survey if needed, plan the right team size and order any specialist materials. That said, we regularly accommodate shorter notice when our schedule allows. Even if your dates aren’t fixed, it’s worth contacting us early so we can pencil you in and adjust once your completion or tenancy date is confirmed.
