What Our Packing and Boxes Service Includes

Items and Areas We Commonly Pack

Our teams are experienced in packing a wide range of household and commercial items, including:

• Kitchen contents – crockery, glassware, cookware, appliances and food cupboards
• Living areas – books, ornaments, pictures, televisions and electronics
• Bedrooms – clothing, bedding, personal items, wardrobes and small furniture
• Home offices – documents, files, IT equipment and peripherals

To keep everyone safe and within insurance guidelines, some items are excluded from our standard packing service:

• Live plants and animals
• High‑value jewellery, cash and important legal documents (we recommend you carry these yourself)

If you are unsure whether something can be packed or moved, we will advise during the survey and suggest safe alternatives where possible.

Types of Packing Services We Offer

• Owner‑packed with supplied boxes – You pack yourself using our quality boxes and materials.

This flexibility allows you to blend professional help with what you are comfortable doing yourself.

Our Step‑by‑Step Packing and Moving Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

You can contact Fulham Movers by phone, email or online form. We will ask a few questions about your property, the volume of items and your timescale. Based on this information we provide a clear, no‑obligation estimate for packing, boxes and any associated removal services.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For most moves we carry out a virtual or onsite survey. This allows us to see what needs packing, identify any fragile or awkward items and calculate the number and type of boxes required. It also gives you a chance to ask questions and agree the level of service that best suits you.

3. Packing & Preparation

On the scheduled day, our professional packers arrive with all necessary materials. We typically:

• Protect surfaces and walkways
• Pack room by room, labelling each box clearly
• Use paper, bubble wrap and specialised cartons for fragile items
• Dismantle simple furniture where agreed
• Prepare a basic inventory if required

Careful labelling makes unloading and unpacking at your new address much smoother.

4. Loading & Transport

Once everything is securely packed, our removals team loads your belongings onto our vehicles. Boxes are stacked safely, and fragile items are positioned to avoid movement in transit. We then transport your goods directly to your new property or to storage, depending on your plan.

5. Unloading & Placement

On arrival, we unload and place boxes and furniture into the rooms you specify. If you have chosen our unpacking service, we can also unpack selected items and remove used packing materials for recycling or reuse.

Transparent Pricing for Packing and Boxes in Fulham

Our pricing is straightforward and explained in full before you book. Costs are based on:

• Volume of items to be packed
• Type of packing service (full, partial or boxes‑only)
• Number of packers required and time on site
• Quality and quantity of materials used

We provide a written quote listing labour, materials and any optional extras separately. There are no hidden fees, and any potential additional charges (such as last‑minute changes or access issues) are discussed in advance so you can make an informed decision.

Why Choose Professional Packing Over DIY or Casual Man‑and‑Van

Many people start packing themselves or use a casual man‑and‑van, only to find it takes far longer than expected and items are at greater risk. Using a professional packing service brings several benefits:

• Speed and efficiency – Experienced packers work systematically, often completing in a day what might take you several evenings or weekends.
• Better protection – Correct cartons, padding and techniques reduce the chance of breakages.
• Reduced stress – You can focus on utilities, paperwork and family while we handle the physical work.
• Insurance compliance – Our packing follows the standards required for cover under our policies.

A casual man‑and‑van service may be cheaper upfront, but it usually offers limited or no cover, basic materials and less accountability if something goes wrong.

Insurance and Professional Standards

As a responsible removals company, Fulham Movers operates to recognised industry standards. We are fully insured, with:

• Goods in transit insurance – Cover for your belongings while they are being moved.
• Public liability cover – Protection in case of accidental damage to property or third parties.

Our packing teams are trained in safe handling, lifting techniques and correct use of materials. We regularly review our procedures to maintain high standards of care and to keep both our clients and staff safe.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We treat every item as if it were our own. That means using appropriate protection for furniture, double‑walled cartons for heavier loads and extra padding where needed. Floors and doorways are guarded against scuffs and marks, helping to protect both the property you are leaving and the one you are moving into.

We are also mindful of our environmental impact. Where possible we:

• Use reusable crates or returned cartons for repeat customers
• Source recyclable packing paper and cardboard
• Collect and recycle used materials after your move

The aim is to balance secure packing with a responsible approach to waste.

Real‑World Use Cases for Our Packing and Boxes Service

Moving House in Fulham

For families and individuals moving within or out of Fulham, we can provide a full packing service the day before your move. This is ideal where you are busy with work or children and want to avoid living among half‑packed boxes for weeks.

Office and Business Relocations

Businesses rely on us for organised, label‑driven packing that keeps files, IT and stock in order. We can work outside normal hours where required to reduce disruption, and we coordinate closely with your team so essential equipment is the first to be unpacked.

Urgent or Last‑Minute Moves

Sometimes moves come up unexpectedly – a rental agreement ends sooner than planned, or a purchase completes quicker than expected. Subject to availability, we can provide short‑notice packing support, focusing on key areas such as kitchen and fragile items to get you safely on the road.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does professional packing and boxes in Fulham cost?

Costs vary depending on the size of your property, the volume of belongings and whether you choose full or partial packing. As a guide, a small flat will usually be at the lower end of our price range, while larger houses and offices require more materials and labour. We always carry out a survey before confirming a price, so you receive a tailored, written quote with labour and materials clearly itemised. This way you understand exactly what you are paying for and can adjust the level of service to suit your budget.

Can you offer same‑day or urgent packing services?

We can sometimes accommodate same‑day or urgent packing, particularly outside peak periods, but it depends on crew and vehicle availability. If your move is last‑minute, contact us as early as possible and explain your timescales. We will be honest about what we can realistically achieve, and may suggest a focused partial packing service for key rooms if time is tight. While we cannot guarantee same‑day support in every case, we do our best to provide practical solutions for urgent moves in and around Fulham.

Are my belongings insured while you pack and move them?

Yes. Fulham Movers provides goods in transit insurance for your belongings while they are being moved, together with public liability cover. These policies are designed to protect against the unlikely event of damage or loss during handling or transport. Full details, including limits and any exclusions, are explained in our terms and can be discussed before you book. We also pack to recognised professional standards, which not only reduces the risk of damage but also helps ensure that any valid claim can be handled smoothly if required.

What exactly is included in your packing and boxes service?

Our service can be tailored, but typically includes supply of quality cardboard boxes, tape, paper and protective materials, plus the labour of our trained packers to carefully pack your belongings room by room. We label each box clearly, protect fragile items and can dismantle basic furniture where agreed. At the other end, we unload into the correct rooms and, if you choose, we can provide an unpacking service and remove used materials. Items such as hazardous goods, cash and jewellery are excluded for safety and insurance reasons, and we will explain any specific limitations in advance.

How is your service different from a basic man‑and‑van?

A basic man‑and‑van usually provides transport and some lifting, but little else. Packing is normally your responsibility, materials may be limited and insurance cover can be minimal. By contrast, our service offers trained packing teams, quality boxes, proper padding, clear labelling and structured loading. We are fully insured, operate modern vehicles and follow procedures designed to protect your belongings and properties. For small, low‑value moves a man‑and‑van might be sufficient, but for most home and business relocations, a professional packing and removals service offers far better protection and peace of mind.

How far in advance should I book packing and boxes in Fulham?

For the best choice of dates, we recommend booking as soon as you know your likely moving window, particularly if you are aiming for a Friday or month‑end when demand is higher. Many clients confirm their packing service two to four weeks before moving day. That said, we understand that completion dates can change, so we try to remain flexible and will work with you to adjust where possible. Even if your move is sooner, it is worth contacting us, as we may have availability for partial or full packing at shorter notice.
