Do removal companies pack everything for you?

Packing up your home is time-consuming work. You can focus on other important tasks by hiring a professional packing service.

Unfortunately, removal companies can’t pack all of your belongings. Most companies will ask that you pack the following items yourself:

• Money
• Financial documents
• Jewellery
• Electrical devices – mobile phones etc
• Perishable food items
• Valuable items/family heirlooms

Removal companies often avoid packing these items for insurance and liability purposes. It is best to discuss exactly what will be packed before hiring a moving service.

What belongings do movers pack?

Removal companies will pack up your entire home, apart from the items mentioned above.

The professionals will dismantle your furniture, empty your cupboards and pack everything into boxes.

You can also request for the removal team to unpack once everything has been moved to your new home. Working with a removal company can make moving house stress free – well, almost!

Professional movers often provide all the packing materials you need. Your removal team will supply strong boxes, tissue paper, bubble wrap and more.

By working with the best removal team, you can have total confidence that your cherished items will safely arrive at your new home.

How much do removal companies charge for packing?

Removal companies often charge more for packing. Keep your moving costs down by packing up your belongings yourself.

You can expect to pay an average of £35 per hour for a professional packing service.

Ask for a detailed quote before hiring a removal company. Make sure to discuss packing prices to avoid any unexpected fees.
