What We Pack – and What We Cannot Pack

Items Included in Our Packing Service

Our team routinely packs:

• Household contents – clothes, books, ornaments, kitchenware and linens
• Fragile items – glass, china, artwork, mirrors, antiques
• Furniture – wrapped and protected, with parts and fittings bagged and labelled
• Electronics – TVs, computers, printers and small appliances
• Office items – files, documents, stationery, IT equipment and desk contents
• Garage and shed contents – tools, boxed items and non-hazardous equipment

Items We Cannot Pack

For safety, legal or insurance reasons, some items are excluded:

• Hazardous materials – paint, solvents, fuel, gas bottles, chemicals
• Perishable food – frozen or fresh items that may spoil in transit
• Live plants and animals
• Valuables such as jewellery, cash, important documents (we recommend you carry these personally)

If you are unsure about a specific item, we will advise you during the survey so there are no surprises on moving day.

Our Step-by-Step Packing and Moving Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

You contact Removal Company Shepherds Bush by phone or online with your details, including property size, destination and preferred dates. We provide an initial estimate and explain the packing options available. Our quotes are clear and itemised so you can see exactly what is included.

2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

We arrange a professional survey, either via video call or an onsite visit in Shepherds Bush. This allows us to assess volume, access, fragile items and any special requirements. It also gives you time to ask questions and discuss timings.

3. Packing & Preparation

On the agreed day, our trained packing team arrives with all materials. We protect floors where necessary, then pack room by room, labelling each box with contents and destination room. Fragile items are wrapped and double-checked. Furniture is disassembled where required and protected with covers and padding.

4. Loading & Transport

Once everything is packed, our removals crew loads the vehicle systematically to keep boxes secure and evenly distributed. Your goods are covered by our goods in transit insurance while on the road. Our drivers plan routes with Shepherds Bush traffic and access in mind for a smoother journey.

5. Unloading & Placement

At your new address, we place boxes and furniture into the correct rooms according to your labels and instructions. If you have booked our unpacking service, we can also unpack key areas such as kitchen, bedrooms and wardrobes, removing used packing materials for recycling where possible.

Transparent Pricing for Packing and Boxes

We believe in clear, honest pricing. Costs are based on:

• Property size and volume of items
• Type of packing – full, part or fragile-only
• Number of packers required and time needed
• Materials used – boxes, wrapping, speciality cartons
• Access conditions in Shepherds Bush and at the destination

Your written quote will clearly separate:

• Packing labour
• Materials and boxes
• Removal and transport (if booked together)

There are no hidden extras; any optional services, such as unpacking or evening work, are agreed in advance.

Why Use Professional Packers Instead of DIY or Casual Man-and-Van

Self-packing or using a casual man-and-van can appear cheaper, but often leads to breakages, delays and extra stress. Our professional packing service offers:

• Trained crews experienced in handling fragile and high-value items
• Purpose-made boxes and protective materials, not reused supermarket cartons
• Systematic labelling so you can find essentials quickly at the new property
• Goods in transit insurance and public liability cover
• Efficient use of time – what might take you days, we complete in hours

A casual service may not provide adequate protection, insurance or planning, leaving you exposed if something goes wrong.

Insurance and Professional Standards

Removal Company Shepherds Bush operates to high professional standards. For your peace of mind, we provide:

• Goods in transit insurance – covering your belongings while they are in our vehicles
• Public liability cover – protecting against accidental damage to property or injury
• Trained moving teams – staff are instructed in safe lifting, packing techniques and customer care

We follow best practice for inventory, labelling and handling, and we are happy to talk you through cover levels and any specific requirements you may have.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We treat your belongings as if they were our own. This means:

• Using high-quality cartons, bubble wrap, paper and specialist covers
• Wrapping furniture to protect against knocks, scuffs and weather
• Securing all loads carefully in the vehicle

We also work to reduce waste where possible. Where it is practical, we can collect reusable cartons, and we favour recyclable materials. Our vehicles are regularly maintained to run efficiently and reliably.

Real-World Use Cases in Shepherds Bush

Moving House Locally

A family moving from a terraced house in Shepherds Bush to a larger property in the same area may choose a full packing service one day, followed by removal the next. We pack everything, including fragile kitchenware and children’s items, so they can keep to work and school routines.

Office Relocation

A small business relocating from an office near Shepherds Bush Market to a shared workspace might opt for part packing. We pack IT equipment, files and shared areas, while staff pack personal desks. Clear labelling allows for a smooth restart in the new office.

Urgent or Last-Minute Moves

Sometimes contracts exchange quickly or landlords require a fast turnaround. Subject to availability, we can provide a rapid packing and boxes service, concentrating on essential rooms first so you can meet key deadlines without compromising on protection.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does your packing and boxes service cost?

Costs depend on the size of your property, how much you need packing and the type of service you choose. A small flat with a part packing service will naturally cost less than a full house pack. We visit or carry out a virtual survey to assess volume, access and materials required, then provide a clear written quote. Labour and materials are itemised separately so you can see exactly what you are paying for and adjust the level of service to suit your budget.

Can you provide same-day or urgent packing in Shepherds Bush?

Where our schedule allows, we can often help with urgent or short-notice packing in Shepherds Bush. Availability will depend on crew and vehicle commitments, especially at month-end and peak periods. If you need a rapid service, contact us as soon as possible with your dates, property size and priorities. We will advise honestly on what is achievable and may propose a focused solution, such as packing only the kitchen and fragile items first, with remaining rooms completed later if time permits.

Are my belongings insured while you pack and move them?

Yes. Your goods are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are in our vehicles, and our public liability cover protects against accidental damage to property or injury arising from our work. Insurance is not a substitute for careful handling, so our crews are trained in safe packing and lifting. We will explain the scope and limits of cover before you book, and if you have particularly high-value items, we can discuss declaring these in advance so they are noted and handled with additional care.

What exactly is included in your packing and boxes service?

Our service includes the supply of quality boxes, tape, wrapping paper and protective materials, along with professional packers to prepare your belongings for transport. We pack agreed rooms and items, label every carton clearly, and protect furniture with covers or padding. If booked together with our removals service, we then load, transport and unload at your new address. Optional extras include unpacking, disposal of used materials and dismantling or reassembling selected furniture. All inclusions are clearly listed in your written quotation.

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

A casual man-and-van service typically offers transport only, with limited packing support and little or no insurance. By contrast, we provide trained crews, structured packing methods, suitable materials and clear labelling. Your goods are protected by goods in transit insurance and public liability cover, and we plan each move based on a survey, not guesswork. This reduces the risk of damage, delays and last-minute problems with access or parking, giving you a smoother and more predictable moving experience.

How far in advance should I book packing and boxes?

Ideally, we recommend booking at least two to three weeks before your move, especially if you are moving at the end of the month or during school holidays when demand in Shepherds Bush is higher. This allows time for a proper survey, planning and delivery of any pre-move materials you may want. However, we understand that dates can change, so we always try to be flexible. If your plans are still uncertain, it is worth getting in touch early so we can pencil in provisional dates and discuss options.
