At London Removals and Storage we provide a specialist Packing and Boxes service designed to protect your belongings from the moment we arrive until everything is safely unpacked at your new property. Whether you are moving home, relocating your office or placing items into storage, our experienced packers use quality materials and proven techniques to keep your possessions safe throughout their journey.
Working across London, we understand the challenges of moving in busy streets, period properties, flats with limited access and commercial premises. Our team is trained to plan packing around parking restrictions, lift access, tight staircases and long carries, making sure items are boxed and labelled in a way that makes moving day smoother and quicker.
Because we operate throughout London every day, we can usually arrange packing at a time that suits you, including short-notice and phased packing for larger homes or businesses.
Our service is tailored for:
We can professionally pack most household and business contents, including:
We supply a full range of packing materials including small, medium and large removal boxes, wardrobe cartons, archive boxes, bubble wrap, paper, tape and protective covers.
For safety, legal or practical reasons, we normally do not pack:
If you are unsure whether something can be packed, our team will advise during the survey.
Contact London Removals and Storage by phone or online with your move details and whether you require full packing, partial packing or just supply of boxes and materials. We will ask about property size, number of rooms, special items and timings. Based on this, we provide a clear, itemised quote outlining packing labour, materials and any additional services.
For most moves we carry out a virtual or onsite survey. A trained surveyor walks through your property (in person or via video), counts items, identifies fragile or unusual pieces and notes access. This allows us to estimate the number and type of boxes, packing time required and the best sequence for packing, ensuring there are no surprises on the day.
On the agreed date, our professional packing team arrives with all the materials needed. We can:
Each box is carefully packed, sealed and clearly labelled with room and contents. Delicate items are individually wrapped; furniture is protected with covers or export wrap as required.
Once packing is complete (either the same day or the day before your move), our removals team loads all boxes and furniture onto our vehicles. Everything is stacked securely to minimise movement in transit. We then transport your goods directly to your new home, business premises or our storage facility, depending on your plan.
At your destination we unload all boxes and furniture into the correct rooms following the box labels and your instructions. If agreed in advance, we can also provide an unpacking service, removing items from boxes, placing them on surfaces and taking away used materials for recycling.
We believe in clear, straightforward pricing. Your quote will separate:
Costs vary depending on property size, volume of contents, access and whether you choose full or partial packing. There are no hidden extras: any potential additional charges (for example, last-minute changes to inventory) are explained in advance wherever possible.
While it may be tempting to pack yourself or rely on a casual man-and-van, using a professional packing service offers clear advantages:
Man-and-van operators rarely offer the same level of training, insurance or accountability as an established removals company.
London Removals and Storage operates to strict professional standards. Our packing and removals service includes:
Full details of cover, limits and exclusions are provided with your quotation and can be discussed with our office before you book.
We treat your belongings as if they were our own, using suitable wrapping and cushioning for each item. Corners and edges are protected, boxes are never overloaded and fragile goods are clearly marked. We also aim to work as sustainably as possible by:
For busy London households, we provide complete packing the day before your move, leaving only essentials for the morning. This is particularly helpful for families with children or pets, or for moves involving long distances and tight completion times.
We work with businesses of all sizes to pack offices, studios, retail spaces and storage areas. Files, IT equipment and stock are clearly labelled to match your new layout, helping staff get back to work quickly and reducing disruption.
When you need to move quickly – for example, a sudden completion date or a last-minute tenancy change – our team can step in to pack at short notice, subject to availability. Professional packing helps avoid breakages that often occur when rushing to pack yourself.
The cost depends on three main factors: the volume of your belongings, the level of service you choose (full packing, fragile-only or materials only) and access at your property. Smaller flats may only require a few hours of packing, while larger homes or offices need a full day or more. We provide a detailed, written quotation after a virtual or onsite survey so you know exactly what is included. There are no hidden extras, and we can usually adjust the service to suit different budgets.
We can often help with urgent or short-notice packing, particularly within London, but it depends on team availability and the size of the job. If you have a tight deadline, contact us as soon as possible with your dates, property size and any special requirements. We will check our schedule and advise what we can realistically achieve. In some cases we may suggest a partial packing solution or splitting the work over more than one day to ensure everything is completed safely and properly.
Yes. We provide goods in transit insurance to cover your items while they are being moved in our vehicles, and public liability insurance for accidental damage to property during the move. Cover is subject to policy terms, conditions and limits, which we will explain with your quote. For particularly high-value or unusual items, we may recommend you notify your own insurer or request additional cover. Proper, professional packing significantly reduces the risk of damage and helps ensure any claims are straightforward if they arise.
Our service can be tailored, but typically includes trained packers, all agreed packing materials (boxes, paper, bubble wrap, tape and covers), room-by-room packing, clear labelling and preparation of furniture for transit. We can also dismantle basic furniture if requested in advance. On moving day, our removals team loads, transports and unloads everything into the correct rooms. If required, we can add an unpacking service and remove used boxes. Items we cannot pack, such as hazardous materials or perishable food, will be explained during the survey.
A casual man-and-van service usually offers basic transport only, with limited or no packing, little protection for fragile items and often no meaningful insurance. By contrast, we provide trained staff, professional packing materials, planned surveys, written quotations and proper insurance cover. Our team follows established packing and handling procedures to minimise risk and keep your move organised. For valuable or sentimental belongings, or for larger moves, using a professional packing and removals company offers far greater security and peace of mind.
We recommend booking as early as possible, ideally 2–4 weeks before your move date, especially during busy periods such as the end of the month or summer. This allows us to schedule a survey, prepare materials and plan the right size team. However, we understand that completion dates can change, so we will always try to accommodate late bookings where we have availability. The sooner you contact us, the more options we can offer in terms of dates, times and levels of service.
