Our Step-by-Step Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us with basic details: property size, key dates, and whether you need boxes only or a full packing service. We discuss your requirements and provide a clear, obligation‑free quote outlining materials, labour and any additional services. Our pricing is transparent, with no hidden extras.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For larger or more complex moves, we carry out a short survey, either via video call or an onsite visit in Putney. This lets us assess access, volume of belongings, fragile items and any special requirements. From this, we confirm which box sizes and quantities you need and plan the packing schedule.
3. Packing & Preparation
On the agreed date, our trained packers arrive with all materials. We carefully wrap fragile items, pack room by room, label each box clearly and create logical groupings so unloading and unpacking are straightforward. If you prefer to do some of the packing yourself, we can simply supply professional‑grade boxes and packing materials.
4. Loading & Transport
Once everything is packed and sealed, our removals team loads your boxes into our vehicles, using protective equipment and smart loading techniques to prevent movement in transit. Your goods are covered by our goods in transit insurance while on the road, and driven by experienced local drivers who know Putney’s streets and access points well.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new property, we unload boxes into the correct rooms, following the labelling and your instructions. We place heavier boxes carefully and ensure fragile cartons are kept upright and accessible. If you have opted for an unpacking service, we can help with opening boxes, setting up essentials and taking away used packing materials for recycling.
Transparent Pricing for Packages and Boxes
We keep our pricing straightforward and fair. Costs are based on:
- Number and type of boxes required (small, medium, large, wardrobe, archive, specialist)
- Volume and complexity of items to be packed
- Level of service: supply‑only, partial packing, or full packing and unpacking
- Access conditions and distance travelled
You receive a written quotation that breaks down materials and labour clearly. We do not use bait‑and‑switch tactics, and any potential additional charges (such as last‑minute changes or extra materials) are discussed with you in advance.
Why Choose Professional Packing Over DIY
Many people start with good intentions and end up overwhelmed by last‑minute packing. Using a professional packing and boxes service offers several advantages over DIY or casual man‑and‑van help:
- Correct box sizes and materials prevent breakages and over‑loaded cartons.
- Systematic, room‑by‑room packing keeps everything organised for unpacking.
- Fragile items are protected with proper wrapping and cushioning.
- Reduced risk of damage claims or disputes, as work is done by trained staff.
- You save significant time and stress in the days leading up to your move.
While a cheap, informal service may seem attractive, damaged belongings, delays and lack of cover often cost more in the long run.
Insurance and Professional Standards
As a local removals company serving Putney, we take our responsibilities seriously. Our services are backed by:
- Goods in transit insurance – protecting your belongings while they are in our vehicles.
- Public liability cover – safeguarding you and your property against accidental damage caused by our team.
- Trained moving teams – staff are instructed in safe lifting, packing techniques and handling fragile or high‑risk items.
We follow sensible checks, clear communication and documented instructions so that everyone understands what is covered and how your items will be handled.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat your belongings as if they were our own. Boxes are not over‑filled, fragile items are double‑checked, and we take extra care with sentimental possessions. Wherever possible, we use sturdy, reusable cartons and encourage box return or reuse. Protective paper, wrap and tape are chosen with both protection and waste reduction in mind. When we remove used boxes and materials, we sort and recycle as much as is practical to minimise environmental impact.
Real-World Use Cases in Putney
Moving House
Families moving between homes in Putney often ask us to handle all packing so they can focus on the legal and practical side of the move. We pack over one or two days, then complete the move on schedule.
Office Relocation
For businesses, we supply archive boxes, IT cartons and crates, then pack documents, equipment and desk contents in a structured way. This reduces downtime and helps your team get back to work quickly in the new office.
Urgent and Short-Notice Moves
Sometimes moves come up at short notice: a tenancy ending, a sale completing earlier than expected, or a sudden change of plans. Subject to availability, we can provide same‑day or next‑day boxes and packing assistance to help you move safely without rushing and risking damage.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does your package and boxes service in Putney cost?
Pricing depends on how many boxes you need and whether you require a full packing service or just materials. For smaller flats, we can often work to a fixed package price covering a set number of cartons and essential packing materials. Larger homes or offices are usually priced after a brief survey so we can estimate the volume accurately. Once we understand your needs, we provide a clear written quote with materials and labour itemised, so you know exactly what you are paying for before you commit.
Can you help with same-day or urgent packing?
We can often assist with same‑day or next‑day packing in Putney, depending on our schedule and the size of the job. If your move date has changed suddenly or you have run out of time to pack, call us as soon as possible. We will confirm what is realistic within the time available, prioritising essential rooms and fragile items first. While very urgent moves may require some flexibility, we always aim to provide a safe, organised service rather than rushing and compromising on protection.
Are my belongings insured while they are boxed and moved?
Yes. While your belongings are in our vehicles, they are covered by our goods in transit insurance, and our public liability cover protects against accidental damage to property caused by our team. Insurance is not a substitute for proper packing, so our focus is always on preventing damage in the first place through good materials and correct techniques. We will explain the key terms, limits and any exclusions in plain language before the move, and we are happy to answer specific questions about higher‑value or unusual items.
What exactly is included in your package and boxes service?
Our service can be tailored, but typically includes supply of strong moving boxes, tape, paper and protective materials, plus the labour to pack and label your belongings room by room. We can also provide specialist cartons for wardrobes, TVs and files where required. On moving day, we load, transport and unload the packed boxes into the correct rooms at your new property. If requested, we can add an unpacking service and take away used cartons and materials afterwards. All inclusions and options are listed clearly in your written quotation.
How is this different from a basic man-and-van service?
A casual man‑and‑van usually expects you to supply your own boxes and have everything packed before they arrive. There may be limited protection, no formal insurance, and little support if something is damaged. Our service is a professional removals and packing solution: we supply the right materials, use trained staff, plan the work properly and provide appropriate insurance cover. This reduces risk, saves you time and usually proves better value overall, particularly when you factor in the cost of replacing damaged belongings or dealing with delays.
How far in advance should I book your packing and boxes service?
Ideally, you should book at least two to three weeks before your move, especially for larger properties or during busy periods such as month‑end and summer. This gives us time to carry out a survey if needed, reserve the correct number of boxes and schedule a packing day that suits you. However, we understand that moves do not always go to plan, so we also accommodate short‑notice bookings where possible. The earlier you contact us, the more options we can offer in terms of dates and level of service.
