Packing Done Properly, Room by Room
Packing is where most moving damage is prevented or caused. Our experienced packers use sturdy boxes, bubble wrap, paper and purpose-made cartons for items like glass, china and wardrobes, labelling everything by room for a smooth unload.
Prefer to pack some yourself? You can buy packing materials from our box shop, or add fragile-only packing for your most delicate items. We can also unpack at the other end.

What a Full Packing Service Actually Covers
A full packing service means our trained team packs the entire contents of your home so you don’t lift a single box. From the moment we arrive, we work through every cupboard, wardrobe, loft, shelf and drawer, wrapping, boxing and labelling each item ready for transit. As a family-run Sussex removals firm based at Doryln House in Ashington, near Pulborough, we have been packing homes across West Sussex, East Sussex, Surrey, Hampshire and Kent since 2016, and the process is genuinely end to end. You decide what stays behind — everything else is our responsibility. This differs from a part-pack, where you tackle the simple, non-fragile items yourself; with a full pack we handle kitchens, glassware, ornaments, books, clothing, electricals, garden equipment and the awkward odds and ends that families typically run out of time and energy to deal with. If you only want certain rooms covered, our non-fragile packing service and specialist fragile packing can be combined to match exactly what you need.
The Time and Stress a Professional Pack Saves You
Most people drastically underestimate how long packing a home takes. A modest three-bedroom property can take an organised household between 30 and 50 hours to pack properly — usually spread across evenings and weekends under mounting pressure. A two-person professional crew typically completes the same property in a single working day, and a larger four or five-bedroom home over one to two days. The reason is simple: we do this every week, we bring all the materials with us, and we never have to stop to find more tape or fashion a box from something unsuitable. The hidden cost of self-packing isn’t just hours — it’s the broken crockery, the boxes that collapse mid-lift because they were over-filled, and the boxes packed so late at night that nobody can remember what’s inside them. Letting us handle the packing means you keep working, keep the children’s routine intact, and arrive at completion day calm rather than exhausted. When you pair our pack with our house removals service, the whole move runs as one seamless operation with a single accountable team.
Professional Materials and the Techniques Behind a Proper Pack
Good packing is part materials, part method. We supply double-walled cartons in graded sizes, specialist wardrobe boxes that let clothes travel on the hanger, dish-pack and glass-pack cartons with cell dividers, acid-free tissue, bubble wrap, foam corners, mattress and sofa covers, and heavy-duty tape — all included and all detailed in our packing materials range. Technique matters just as much. Heavy items such as books go into small cartons so they stay liftable; light, bulky items such as duvets and cushions fill the large ones. Every box is packed to the top so nothing shifts in transit, with soft fillers eliminating void space. We wrap each fragile item individually rather than nesting unprotected pieces together, and we stand plates on their edge — not flat — because that is how they best resist the vibration of road travel. These aren’t tricks; they are the standard methods a properly trained removals crew uses on every job.
- Double-walled cartons graded by weight and contents
- Wardrobe boxes so hanging clothes never get creased
- Cell-divided dish and glass packs for crockery and stemware
- Acid-free tissue, bubble wrap and foam corners for fragiles
- Mattress, sofa and armchair covers to keep upholstery clean
Room-by-Room System, Labelling and Inventory
We pack methodically, finishing one room before moving to the next, which keeps the home navigable while work is underway and means nothing gets mixed across spaces. Every carton is labelled with the room it belongs to and a short summary of its contents, so on arrival the boxes go straight to the correct room and unpacking follows a logical order. Where a full inventory is required — for higher-value moves, insurance purposes, or storage — we record items as we pack, giving you a written account of what went where. Fragile cartons are clearly marked so they are handled, loaded and stacked accordingly, never crushed beneath heavier loads. This system is what turns a van full of anonymous brown boxes into an orderly, searchable move. It also makes the other end far quicker, especially if you go on to use our full unpacking service, because the crew can place and open boxes in a sensible sequence rather than hunting for essentials in a stack of unmarked cartons.
Protecting Fragile, Valuable and Irreplaceable Items
The items that worry people most — mirrors, glassware, framed art, lamps, ceramics, electronics and heirlooms — are exactly where professional packing earns its keep. We wrap and box fragile pieces individually, immobilise them within the carton, and use purpose-made picture boxes for framed and glazed works. As a LAPADA member, we are especially comfortable with antiques and fine pieces, and our specialised antiques moving service covers items that need bespoke crating or extra care. Televisions and computers are wrapped, corner-protected and boxed upright; lamps are dismantled where sensible and their shades packed separately to avoid distortion. The guiding principle is that no fragile item should ever touch another or the carton wall unprotected. Genuinely irreplaceable valuables — passports, jewellery, medication and important documents — are best kept with you personally, and we’ll always advise you on what to set aside rather than pack.
How Long It Takes and What to Leave Out
For most moves we pack one to two days before collection, then load on moving day, which gives us time to do the job carefully rather than against the clock. Timing depends on the size and contents of the home; we’ll confirm a realistic schedule when we survey your property. To make the day run smoothly, set aside the things you’ll need right up to the move and immediately after — an essentials box of toiletries, a change of clothes, phone chargers, children’s and pets’ necessities, the kettle and a few mugs. Leave out anything hazardous, as we cannot transport items such as paints, aerosols, gas bottles or fuel, and consume or give away perishable food and open or frozen items beforehand. Everything else is ours to handle. If you’d like to talk through what to prepare, the team is happy to advise — just request your packing quote and we’ll build a plan around your timeline.
The Insurance Advantage of a Professional Pack
There is a practical, often-overlooked reason to let us pack: cover. We are fully insured with £10m liability and Checkatrade-verified, and when our team packs your belongings, those items are protected under our handling from carton to delivery. With owner-packed boxes, removers and insurers can reasonably take the view that the packing — and therefore any internal breakage — was outside their control. A full professional pack removes that grey area, because the same accountable company packs, loads, transports and unloads. It is one of the most common reasons families upgrade from a part-pack to a full pack once they understand the distinction. Trusted by estate agents including Fine & Country, Justin Lloyd and Mansell McTaggart, we treat your possessions as if they were our own, and the paperwork reflects that level of responsibility.
Who a Full Packing Service Suits Best
A full pack is the right choice in plenty of situations. It suits busy professionals and families who simply don’t have the hours; downsizers and older clients for whom lifting and wrapping is physically demanding; people relocating at short notice; and anyone moving a home full of fragile, antique or high-value items. It’s equally valuable for long-distance and European moves, where contents face more handling and a longer journey, and for moves into storage, where a careful, inventoried pack pays off when items are later retrieved. If your circumstances make packing impractical — a demanding job, young children, a health condition, or a tight completion date — this service is built for exactly that.
