Packers and Movers London Prices

Packing costs in London vary based on property size, volume of belongings, the number of packers required, and how much of the home needs full or partial packing. London properties often have access challenges, narrow hallways and multi-floor layouts, which can also affect the total time needed.

Below is a realistic guide to typical packing prices in London:

Ideal for small moves or minimal belongings. Expect 2 packers for 2–3 hours, including materials for fragile items, kitchenware and clothing.

Suitable for couples or small families. Usually requires 2–3 packers for 3–4 hours, with additional care needed for electronics, wardrobes and artwork.

3-Bed House: Β£350–£650

    Our London Packers & Movers Process

    Our packers and movers in London follow a structured, efficient system designed to protect your belongings, reduce stress and ensure a safe, smooth move from start to finish. Every stage is completed by trained professionals using high-quality materials and proven packing techniques.

    1. Preparation & Material Delivery

    We start by confirming access, property layout and any fragile or special-care items. Depending on your preference, we either deliver all packing materials in advance or bring them on the moving day. This includes boxes, bubble wrap, wardrobe cartons, paper, shrink wrap and furniture blankets.

    2. Systematic Room-by-Room Packing

    Our team works methodically through each room to avoid confusion and keep your belongings organised. Every item is wrapped, boxed and cushioned properly. Boxes are labelled by room and content type, making unloading and unpacking much quicker and stress-free.

    3. Professional Furniture Protection

    Larger furniture is dismantled where necessary, with all screws and fittings kept safely together. Each piece is wrapped using protective blankets, shrink wrap or specialist padding to prevent marks, dents or damage during transit. We ensure even delicate surfaces and corners are fully shielded.

    4. Safe Loading, Transport % Unloading

    Once packed, your belongings are loaded into the removal van in a logical and secure order. Heavy items go first, fragile boxes on top, and high-value items in specially protected sections.

    At your new property, everything is unloaded and placed directly into the correct rooms. Furniture is reassembled where required, and we make sure all items are positioned exactly where you want them.

    5. Optional Unpacking Service

    For a completely hands-free move, we can unpack all boxes, place items neatly onto shelves, counters and cupboards, remove all packing materials and leave your new home fully set up. This option is ideal for busy professionals, families and long-distance moves.

    Packers and Movers London β€” FAQs

    πŸ’¬ Can you pack my home the day before the move?

    Absolutely. For 2-bedroom + properties we recommend doing the packing the day before to save time and avoid delays on moving day.

    πŸ’¬ Do you supply packing materials?

    Yes β€” all materials are provided. This includes boxes, bubble wrap, packing paper, tape, wardrobe cartons, mattress protectors and specialist wrapping for fragile items.

    πŸ’¬ How long does packing take for a London home?

    Packing times in London vary depending on property size, access, number of belongings and whether you choose full or partial packing. As a general guide, a 1-bed flat usually takes 2–3 hours, a 2-bed home takes 3–5 hours, and a 3-bed house can take 5–8 hours. Larger family homes, properties with stairs/no lift access, or households with a lot of fragile items may require more time or a two-person packing team. For accuracy, we recommend a quick video survey, which allows us to estimate the packing duration precisely and assign the right number of packers.
