What Our Packing and Boxes Service Includes

Our packing service is flexible, so you can choose exactly the level of help you need:

• Unpacking service – optional help to unpack and place items in your new property.

We use strong double-walled cartons, wardrobe boxes, archive boxes, bubble wrap, packing paper, furniture covers and specialist protection for TVs, artwork and mirrors. All work is carried out by our trained, uniformed team using proven packing methods.

Local Packing Expertise in Surrey

Movers Surrey is based in the heart of Surrey and our team works across areas such as Guildford, Woking, Epsom, Reigate, Redhill, Weybridge and surrounding towns and villages. Because we know local roads, parking restrictions, building layouts and access issues, we can plan the right packing approach for each property.

Whether you are in a town centre flat, a rural cottage or a business park office, we adapt our materials and packing methods to suit. This local knowledge helps us complete jobs efficiently while keeping disruption to neighbours and other building users to a minimum.

Who Our Packing and Boxes Service Is For

Homeowners

Perfect if you are moving house and want everything handled professionally. We can take care of full household packing, from attics and garages to delicate ornaments and family heirlooms.

Ideal for tenants moving between rented properties who need an efficient, cost-effective packing solution. We can help reduce the risk of damage disputes at the end of your tenancy by packing and protecting the property and your items properly.

Landlords

Useful when you need a property cleared, contents packed and stored or moved between addresses. We pack furniture, appliances and any remaining items safely and methodically for transport or storage.

Businesses

Our team regularly supports office moves and commercial relocations. We supply archive boxes, IT crates and specialist protection for office equipment, files and stock, ensuring everything is labelled and packed so it can be quickly reinstated at the new premises.

Students moving to or from halls or shared houses in Surrey benefit from compact, affordable packing solutions. We provide the right size boxes and materials, and we can pack for you if you are short on time or travelling from abroad.

Items We Can and Cannot Pack

Items Included

• Household goods – books, clothes, kitchen items, ornaments, toys.

• Office equipment – PCs, screens, printers, files and archives.

Our Step-by-Step Packing and Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

You contact Movers Surrey by phone or online with the details of your move. We ask a few simple questions about your property size, key dates and the level of packing help you need. Based on this, we provide an initial guide price or arrange a survey for a more detailed quotation.

2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

We carry out a free virtual or onsite survey to assess the volume of items, access, parking, and any special packing requirements such as antiques, artwork or IT equipment. This allows us to recommend the right combination of Packing and Boxes, moving vehicles and crew. You receive a clear, written quotation with no obligation.

3. Packing & Preparation

On the agreed date, our professional packing team arrives with all boxes and materials. We label rooms carefully, pack items systematically and protect fragile goods using bubble wrap, paper and padding. Furniture is disassembled where necessary and wrapped. We can also deliver boxes in advance if you prefer to do some self-packing.

4. Loading & Transport

Once packing is complete, our removals team loads everything onto our vehicles using trolleys, blankets and securing straps. Boxes are stacked in the correct order for unloading, with fragile items and essentials clearly marked. Your goods are protected by our goods in transit insurance while on the road.

5. Unloading & Placement

At your new property, we unload boxes into the correct rooms and reassemble furniture where agreed. If you have chosen our unpacking service, we carefully unpack items onto surfaces and remove used packing materials for recycling or reuse, helping you settle in more quickly.

Transparent Pricing for Packing and Boxes in Surrey

We believe in clear, straightforward pricing. Our quotes for Packing and Boxes are based on:

• Property size and volume of contents.
• Level of service – full packing, part packing or materials only.
• Special requirements – fragile-only packing, high-value items, artwork.
• Travel distances and access considerations.

Your written quotation sets out exactly what is included, so there are no surprises on the day. We are always happy to explain how costs are calculated and suggest ways to keep within your budget, such as combining self-packing with professional packing for more delicate items.

Why Choose Professional Packing Instead of DIY or Casual Man-and-Van

Self-packing or using a casual man-and-van may seem cheaper at first, but it often leads to breakages, delays and a much more stressful move. As a fully insured removals company, we use trained staff and proven methods to minimise risk. Professionally packed boxes are quicker to load, safer to transport and easier to unpack.

With a man-and-van, you may need to source your own boxes, handle all packing and take on any risk of damage yourself. With Movers Surrey, you benefit from professional materials, trained packers and clear accountability from start to finish.

Insurance and Professional Standards

Your belongings are important, both financially and emotionally. That is why we back our work with:

• Goods in transit insurance – covering your items while they are in our vehicles.
• Public liability cover – protecting you and your property during our work on-site.
• Trained moving teams – staff are instructed in safe lifting, packing and handling techniques.

We follow industry best practice for packing and removals, and we document any pre-existing damage to ensure transparency. You will know exactly what is covered and how to raise any concerns, though issues are rare due to our careful approach.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We treat every item as if it were our own. Furniture and large items are wrapped or covered, edges are protected, and floors and banisters can be shielded where required to avoid marks or scuffs. Fragile items are double-wrapped and clearly labelled so they receive extra care throughout the move.

Sustainability is also important to us. Wherever possible, we reuse strong cartons, recycle used materials and offer to collect boxes after your move for re-use or responsible recycling. Our packing systems are designed to reduce waste while still giving your belongings the protection they need.

Real-World Uses of Our Packing and Boxes Service

Moving House

Our most common request is full household packing prior to a move within Surrey or across the UK. We can pack your entire home in a day or two, allowing you to focus on contracts, schools and utilities rather than worrying about boxes.

Office Relocation

For businesses, packing needs to be organised so staff can get back to work quickly. We label crates and boxes by department, pack IT equipment securely and coordinate with your schedule to minimise downtime.

Urgent or Short-Notice Moves

Sometimes moves come up at short notice – a change of completion date, a sudden tenancy end or a last-minute office lease. Where possible we offer rapid packing support, sending a team with all materials to get everything prepared safely and efficiently.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does professional packing and boxes cost?

The cost depends on the size of your property, the volume of items and the level of service you choose. A full packing service for a large family home will naturally cost more than fragile-only packing for a small flat. We price each job individually after a short survey so you only pay for what you need. Your written quotation will clearly show the packing cost, materials, labour and any optional extras, allowing you to compare options and adjust to suit your budget.

Can you help with same-day or urgent packing in Surrey?

Where our schedule allows, we can support urgent or short-notice packing requests in Surrey. Availability will depend on existing bookings and the size of the job. For smaller properties or partial packing, we can often respond quickly, sometimes on the same day. For larger homes or offices, we may suggest a phased approach, prioritising key rooms and fragile items first. Contact us as soon as possible with your dates and we will advise what level of urgent support we can offer.

Are my belongings insured while being packed and moved?

Yes. Your goods are protected by our goods in transit insurance while they are in our vehicles, and our public liability cover protects against accidental damage to property during our work. We pack carefully to avoid issues in the first place, but it is reassuring to know cover is there. We will explain the main terms and any limits before you book, and we recommend that particularly high-value items are highlighted in advance so we can discuss the best way to protect them.

What exactly is included in your packing and boxes service?

Our service can include everything from supplying quality boxes and materials, through to complete packing, labelling, loading, transport, unloading and unpacking. As standard, we provide boxes, tape, wrapping materials and protective covers for furniture, along with a professional team to do the packing work. You can choose full or part packing depending on your needs. The exact inclusions will be listed clearly in your quotation, so you know which tasks we are handling and which, if any, you prefer to do yourself.

How is this different from using a basic man-and-van?

A basic man-and-van service typically provides transport only, with limited or no help with packing, basic materials and often no formal insurance. With Movers Surrey, you get trained staff, quality packing materials, methodical labelling and stacking, plus goods in transit and public liability cover. We take responsibility for the safe handling of your belongings from start to finish. This reduces the risk of damage, saves you significant time and generally leads to a much smoother, more predictable moving experience.

How far in advance should I book packing and boxes?

For the best choice of dates, we recommend booking your packing service 2–4 weeks before your move, especially during busy periods such as month-end or school holidays. This gives us time to carry out a survey, plan the right team and deliver any boxes you may want in advance. However, we know that completion dates and contracts can change, so we always try to be flexible. If your dates move, we will do our best to adapt your booking and keep your move on track.
