If you want to enjoy the easiest possible move, our Full Packing Service is the perfect solution. We take care of absolutely everything, from carefully wrapping delicate kitchenware and glassware to protecting furniture, televisions, mirrors, artwork and personal belongings throughout your home.

Our experienced packing team will systematically work through every room, ensuring each item is professionally packed using the most appropriate protective materials. Glasses and plates are individually wrapped in specialist packing paper, larger fragile items are protected using bubble wrap, while sofas and furniture are wrapped in protective film to prevent scratches and marks during transportation.

A typical three-bedroom property usually takes around six to seven hours to pack, although this will vary depending on the size of the home and the volume of belongings.

Partial Packing Service

Not every move requires a complete packing service, which is why we also offer a flexible Partial Packing Service. This allows you to choose exactly which rooms or belongings you’d like us to pack while you take care of the rest.

Whether you need help packing your kitchen, fragile ornaments, valuable artwork, heavy furniture or just a few selected rooms, we’ll tailor our service around your requirements. It’s an ideal solution for customers who want professional assistance without the cost of a full packing service.

Many customers choose to pack everyday clothing and personal items themselves while leaving delicate, awkward or valuable possessions to our experienced packing team. Whatever level of assistance you require, we’ll create a packing solution that suits both your needs and your budget.

Popular Partial Packing Options

  • Kitchens and dining rooms.
  • Glassware and fragile ornaments.
  • Artwork, mirrors and antiques.
  • Lofts, garages and storage areas.
  • Selected bedrooms or living rooms.
  • Furniture wrapping and protection.
  • Office equipment and paperwork.

Packing & Unpacking Services

Moving doesn’t end when the removal van arrives. Unpacking can often take days, especially after a long moving day. That’s why we also offer a convenient Packing & Unpacking Service, helping you settle into your new home as quickly as possible.

If requested, our team can return after your move to unpack your belongings, place items into cupboards and help organise your new property. We can also collect and remove empty boxes and used packing materials when arranged in advance, leaving your new home clean, tidy and ready to enjoy.

Whether you require a complete packing and unpacking service or simply need help with selected rooms, we’ll tailor our service to suit your individual requirements, making your move as smooth and stress-free as possible.

Professional Packing Help Tailored to Your Move

Every move is different, which is why our packing services are completely flexible. Whether you’re moving from a studio apartment, a family home or commercial premises, we’ll tailor our packing service to suit your exact requirements. You decide how much help you need, and we’ll take care of the rest.

Some customers ask us to pack their entire property, while others simply need assistance with awkward, fragile or valuable items. Whatever you choose, you’ll benefit from experienced packers who understand how to protect your belongings using proven packing techniques and high-quality materials.

By choosing professional packing help, you can avoid the stress of sourcing boxes, wrapping delicate possessions and spending days preparing for your move. Our team works efficiently, helping you save valuable time while ensuring everything is properly protected for transportation.

Furniture Wrapping & Protection

Large furniture often suffers the most damage during a house move if it isn’t properly protected. Scratches, dents and marks can easily occur while carrying items through doorways, loading removal vehicles or transporting them between properties.

At Local Removals, we take every precaution to protect your furniture throughout the moving process. Sofas, wardrobes, dining tables, beds and other large household items are wrapped using professional protective materials designed to minimise the risk of damage during transit.

We use durable protective blankets to cushion furniture during transportation, while sofas and upholstered items are wrapped in protective film to help keep them clean and protected. Mattresses are placed inside specialist mattress covers, ensuring they arrive at your new home in the same condition they left.

We Protect

  • Sofas and armchairs.
  • Wardrobes and bedroom furniture.
  • Dining tables and chairs.
  • Beds and mattresses.
  • Bookcases and cabinets.
  • Office furniture.
  • TV units and entertainment furniture.

Where required, our team can also dismantle furniture before moving and reassemble it at your new property, making the entire process simpler and safer.

Fragile Item Packing

Fragile belongings deserve extra care, and our experienced packing team knows exactly how to protect them. Whether you’re moving everyday glassware or valuable family heirlooms, we’ll ensure each item is carefully wrapped using the most suitable materials before being securely packed for transportation.

Plates, bowls and glasses are individually wrapped using specialist packing paper before being placed into sturdy moving boxes. Mirrors, artwork and televisions receive additional protection using bubble wrap and cushioning materials, while antiques and other valuable possessions are wrapped with extra care using protective blankets and specialist wrapping materials where appropriate.

Every fragile box is clearly labelled so our removals team knows to handle it with additional care throughout your move.

Items We Commonly Pack

  • Glassware and crockery.
  • China and ornaments.
  • Artwork and picture frames.
  • Mirrors.
  • Televisions and monitors.
  • Computers and electronic equipment.

Whether you’re relocating a small office or larger commercial premises, we’ll tailor our packing service around your business, helping your move run as smoothly as possible.

High-Quality Packing Materials

Using the correct packing materials is one of the most important parts of protecting your belongings during a move. Inferior boxes or poor-quality wrapping materials can increase the risk of damage, which is why we only use reliable materials designed specifically for removals.

Our team arrives fully equipped with everything needed to safely pack your possessions, meaning you don’t need to spend time sourcing boxes or buying packing supplies yourself.

Our Packing Materials Include

  • Strong moving boxes.
  • Professional packing tape.
  • Specialist packing paper.

Items We Cannot Pack

For safety, hygiene and legal reasons, there are a small number of items that we cannot pack or transport as part of our removals service.

These typically include:

  • Fresh or perishable food.
  • Houseplants and garden plants.
  • Hazardous chemicals or flammable materials.
  • Explosives or fireworks.
  • Gas cylinders.
  • Pianos (please contact us if specialist arrangements are required).

If you’re unsure whether an item can be moved, simply get in touch before your moving day and we’ll be happy to advise you.

Helpful Packing Tips Before Moving Day

Even when you choose our professional packing service, there are a few simple things you can do before we arrive to help your move run smoothly. Preparing important personal items, identifying belongings that need special attention and completing a few practical tasks in advance can make packing and moving day more efficient.

Keep Important Documents With You

Passports, driving licences, property documents, medication, keys, wallets and other essential items should be kept safely with you rather than packed into the removal vehicle. We recommend preparing a clearly marked personal bag or folder containing anything you may need during the move.

Prepare a Moving Day Essentials Box

Set aside a box containing the items you’ll need immediately after arriving at your new property. This might include toiletries, phone chargers, basic cleaning supplies, a kettle, mugs, tea and coffee, children’s essentials and a change of clothes.

Tell Us About Valuable or Sentimental Items

Please let our team know about any particularly valuable, fragile or sentimental belongings before packing begins. This allows us to give those items additional protection and choose the most appropriate packing materials.

Remove Personal Items From Furniture

Unless agreed otherwise, empty wardrobes, drawers, cabinets and other furniture before they are moved. This reduces weight and helps protect both the furniture and the belongings stored inside it.

Prepare Appliances in Advance

Fridges and freezers should be emptied, defrosted and dried before moving day. Washing machines and dishwashers should also be disconnected and drained unless alternative arrangements have been agreed with our team.

Dispose of Items That Cannot Be Transported

Hazardous, flammable or perishable items should be removed before moving day. These may include fuel, gas cylinders, paint, chemicals, fireworks, fresh food and certain cleaning products. If you’re unsure whether something can be packed or transported, please ask us in advance.

Separate Anything That Is Staying Behind

If some belongings are not moving with you, place them in a clearly marked room or area. This helps prevent anything from being packed or loaded by mistake.

Let Us Know About Access Issues

Please tell us in advance about narrow staircases, restricted parking, lifts, long carrying distances or particularly large items. Knowing about access arrangements beforehand helps us plan the right team, equipment and vehicle for your move.

Our team will guide you through the preparation process when you book, so you’ll know exactly what needs to be completed before we arrive.
