Packing Services in Cardiff

Packing is the part of a move people underestimate, and the part that decides whether moving day runs to time. We can take all of it, do the rooms you are dreading, or simply drop boxes and materials off beforehand so you can work through it at your own pace.

It works alongside any of our moves. A full pack the day before a Cathays flat move, or a hand with the kitchen and the loft in a family house out towards Llanishen, both make the day itself shorter and cheaper.

A full pack, or only the hard rooms

A full pack means we arrive with everything needed and box the house room by room, labelled by room and by what is in it, usually the day before the move. A part pack is the more common request: the kitchen, the loft, the garage and the china, which are the four that swallow an evening each.

Whatever you have already done yourself counts. We are not going to repack boxes that are perfectly well packed.

Boxes and materials, delivered ahead

If you would rather pack yourself, we can drop off boxes, tape, paper and bubble wrap in advance so you are not driving around buying them in the last week. Take what you need and we collect what is unused when we move you.

Flat-packed boxes take up almost no room until you build them, so getting them early costs you nothing but space in a hallway.

Fragile things, properly wrapped

Glass, china, mirrors, framed pictures and anything with a screen get wrapped individually and packed upright rather than stacked flat, which is how most breakages actually happen. Boxes of fragile items are marked and loaded where nothing goes on top of them.

Tell us if there is something genuinely irreplaceable and we will pack it last and carry it separately rather than sending it in the load.

Unpacking at the other end

We can unpack as well, which is worth considering if you are moving with small children or on a tight timescale. Boxes go to the right rooms, essentials come out first, and we take the empty boxes and paper away with us instead of leaving a hallway full of cardboard.

Frequently asked questions

Can you pack just the kitchen?+

Yes, and it is the most common part pack we do. The kitchen, the loft and the garage are the three that take people longest.

When do you pack, the day before or on the day?+

Usually the day before for a full pack, so moving day starts with everything boxed. Small flats can often be packed and moved the same day.

Can I just buy boxes from you?+

We can drop boxes and materials off ahead of your move and collect anything unused when we come. Ask for it with your quote.

How do you pack fragile things?+

Individually wrapped, packed upright rather than stacked, marked as fragile and loaded so nothing sits on top of them.

Do you take the empty boxes away afterwards?+

Yes, if we unpack for you. Otherwise we can collect them on a later run rather than leaving you with a hallway of cardboard.

Does packing cost much on top of the move?+

It depends on how much of it you want. A part pack of two or three rooms is modest, and it usually shortens moving day enough to pay some of itself back.
