Our Step-by-Step Packing and Moving Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact Highbury Movers by phone or online and tell us about your property, belongings and schedule. We provide a clear, no-obligation quote outlining the cost of packing, boxes and any associated removals services so you know exactly what is included.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
We usually carry out a brief survey, either via video call or an in-person visit in {area}. This lets us assess access, volume of belongings, fragile items and any special requirements. The survey ensures we send the right number of trained, professional packers and enough materials on the day.
3. Packing & Preparation
On the agreed date, our team arrives on time with all boxes and packing materials. We protect floors where needed, then carefully wrap and pack room by room, clearly labelling each box by room and contents. Fragile and high-risk items receive extra padding and are marked accordingly.
4. Loading & Transport (If Combined with Removal)
If you are also using our removals service, your packed boxes and furniture are loaded onto our vehicles using protective covers, ties and blankets. Our fully insured drivers transport everything securely to your new address within {area} or further afield.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new property, we unload and place each box in the correct room as labelled. If agreed, we can also offer an unpacking service to help you settle more quickly – removing items from boxes, placing them on surfaces and taking away used packing materials for recycling.
Transparent Pricing for Packing and Boxes
We believe in clear, straightforward pricing. Our quotes set out:
- The cost of all packing materials – boxes, tape, wrap, paper, covers
- Labour for our trained, professional packing team
- Any additional services such as unpacking or furniture dismantling
Prices vary depending on the size of your property, the level of packing (full, partial or fragile-only) and whether we are also carrying out the move. We will always discuss options to match your budget – for example, you pack non-fragile items yourself while we handle the most delicate belongings.
Why Choose Professional Packing over DIY or Man-and-Van
Many moves in {area} start with good intentions and end in last-minute, rushed packing. Using Highbury Movers for packing and boxes offers clear advantages:
- Proper protection – we use the right materials and techniques to reduce damage.
- Time saving – a trained team can pack in a day what might take you several evenings.
- Reduced stress – everything is organised, labelled and ready for the move.
- Insurance-backed – our packing work is covered by our policies, unlike DIY or casual help.
By contrast, a basic man-and-van service typically expects everything packed and ready at the kerbside, offers limited or no packing materials, and may not provide the same level of insurance or accountability.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Highbury Movers operates to recognised industry standards and takes your belongings seriously.
- Goods in transit insurance – covers your items while they are being moved in our vehicles.
- Public liability cover – protection in the unlikely event of damage to property or third parties during our work.
- Trained moving teams – our staff are experienced in safe lifting, packing techniques and handling fragile items.
We will explain how our cover applies to your move and, where helpful, advise you to check any existing home or business policies for additional peace of mind.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat your belongings and property with care. Floors, banisters and doorways can be protected where needed, and we always plan the safest route in and out of the building. Items are wrapped appropriately to avoid scuffs, chips and breakages.
Sustainability matters to us. We prioritise reusable crates where suitable, use recyclable cardboard boxes and paper-based wrapping, and encourage customers to return or re-use boxes after the move. Used materials are sorted so we minimise waste to landfill.
Real-World Packing and Boxes Use Cases in {area}
Moving House
For families and individuals moving within or out of {area}, our full packing service means you can focus on change-of-address details and key handovers while we handle the physical preparation. We pack everything, coordinate with your move date and keep disruption to a minimum.
Office Relocation
Businesses relocating locally rely on us for structured, labelled packing of desks, files and IT. We work to a clear plan so that departments are packed and unpacked in a logical order, helping your team get back to work quickly.
Urgent or Short-Notice Moves
If a move has come up suddenly – for example, a fast exchange or tenancy change – we can often provide urgent packing support in {area}. Where our schedule allows, we deploy additional packers so you can meet key dates without resorting to rushed, unsafe packing.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does your packing and boxes service cost?
The cost depends on the size of your property, how much you need packing and whether you choose full, partial or fragile-only packing. We price materials and labour separately in a clear written quote, so you can see exactly what you are paying for. For smaller flats or student rooms in {area}, the price is often lower than people expect, especially when you factor in the cost of buying good-quality boxes and materials yourself. Contact us with a brief description of your property for a tailored estimate.
Can you provide same-day or urgent packing in {area}?
Where our schedule allows, we can often help with short-notice or urgent packing in {area}. Same-day support is sometimes possible outside peak times, especially for smaller properties or partial packing jobs. If you are working to a tight deadline, call us as soon as you know your dates. We will check vehicle and crew availability, explain what can realistically be achieved, and prioritise key areas such as kitchens, fragile items and essential documents to ensure your move remains safe and organised.
Are my belongings insured while you pack and move them?
Yes. Our service includes goods in transit insurance to protect your belongings while they are being moved in our vehicles, plus public liability cover for work at your property. When we carry out the packing, it also helps ensure items are packed to a standard that supports any potential claim. We will outline our cover limits and conditions in writing and are happy to answer questions. We also recommend you keep very high-value jewellery, cash and important documents with you for additional peace of mind.
What exactly is included in your packing and boxes service?
Our standard service includes supply of removal boxes, packing paper, tape and protective materials, plus a team of trained, professional packers to prepare your belongings. We pack room by room, label every box by room and general contents, and set aside essentials you may need on moving day. If you book our removals as well, we also load, transport and unload everything at your new address. Optional extras include unpacking, furniture dismantling and reassembly, and short-term storage if required.
How is your service different from a basic man-and-van?
A basic man-and-van service usually expects everything to be packed and ready, provides limited or no materials, and may not have the same level of insurance or formal training. Highbury Movers offers a complete, planned approach: we survey your property, provide suitable packing materials, use experienced crews and maintain proper cover for your belongings. We focus on careful packing, labelling and protection of both items and property. For many customers in {area}, this reduces risk, saves time and makes the overall move far less stressful.
How far in advance should I book packing and boxes?
During busy periods, we recommend booking your packing date in {area} at least two to four weeks in advance, especially for larger homes or office moves. This gives us time to carry out a survey, plan the right crew size and ensure materials are reserved. However, we understand that moves can change quickly, and we will always try to accommodate shorter notice where possible. If your completion date is not yet fixed, we can pencil in provisional dates and confirm once your plans are final.
