THE PROBLEM
Most people dread the packing more than the move itself
Boxes everywhere. No idea where to start. Bubble wrap running out. Breakables you’re not confident wrapping. Sound familiar?
Packing an entire home is physically demanding, time-consuming, and honestly, one of the most complained-about parts of moving. It’s not just the effort. It’s the worry. Did I wrap that properly? Will this survive the truck?
That’s exactly why we offer professional pre-packing. Not as a luxury add-on. As a practical solution for people who want their belongings to arrive safely, without the chaos.
WHO THIS IS FOR
This service was built for people like you!
You don’t have to be moving a mansion to benefit from a packing team. Our clients come to us for all kinds of reasons:
Time poor?
Work, kids, life. There's no spare weekend to spend wrapping every wine glass and figuring out which box goes where. We come in, get it done efficiently, and leave you free to focus on everything else that comes with a move.
You simply don't want to or don't know how
That's a completely valid reason to call us. Most people aren't trained packers, and incorrectly packed boxes are exactly how things get damaged in transit. We take the guesswork out of it entirely.
You need fragile and specialised items professionally packed
Antiques, crystal, fine china, artwork, grandfather clocks. These aren't things you want to wrap in a plastic bag and hope for the best. Our team knows exactly how to protect the items that matter most.

You choose how much help you need
We don’t do one-size-fits-all. Our packing services are completely customisable. All services are priced hourly, keeping it flexible for any budget or scope.
Full home packing
We pack every room, every shelf, every cupboard. You tell us what to leave out for your last night, and we handle the rest. Nothing overlooked, nothing guessed.
Partial packing
Pick the rooms or areas you want us to focus on and take care of the rest yourself. You stay in control of the budget and the process.
Fragile-only packing
The breakables are the ones that keep people up at night. Fine china, crystal, ornaments, glassware. We pack and wrap them professionally. With the experience of our team we ensure we keep these goods as safe as possible ready for transport.
Kitchen-only packing
Kitchens are one of hardest room to pack. Odd shapes, heavy items and a lot of items that require packing (plates, cups, glasses, etc). We do it efficiently and correctly so you don't have to figure it out.
Office and business relocation
Monitors, equipment, files, cables, desk setups. We pack your workspace so everything arrives ready to be set back up, with minimal downtime for your business.
Unpacking service
Unpacking can be as time consuming and overwhelming as packing - we take the stress out of both! We unpack the boxes, place items where they belong, and clear the unneeded boxes and materials. You walk into a home, not a storage unit.
PSA: A few things we can't touch, For everyone's safety, we're unable to pack hazardous materials, gas bottle, flammable liquids or aerosols. If you're unsure whether something qualifies, just ask. We'll let you know straightaway.
OUR PRICING
Honest, flexible pricing. No surprises.
Our pre-packing is charged by the hour. This means you only pay for what you actually need, whether that’s two packers for half a day or a full team across multiple days.
The final cost comes down to a few things: the size of your home and how much you’d like packed, the number of fragile or specialty items involved, access to the property, and your timeline. We’ll talk through your situation and give you a clear, honest estimate before anything is confirmed. No hidden fees. No surprises on the day.
SPECIALTY ITEMS
Confident with the things that keep you up at night
Some items need more than just a box and some paper. We’ve packed them all. Antiques. Grandfather clocks. Crystal and fine china. Artwork and mirrors. TVs and monitors. Vintage instruments. One-of-a-kind collectibles. Tiny figurine dolls that took years to collect.
If it matters to you, it matters to us. Our team is experienced with the most fragile, the most awkward, and the most irreplaceable. We don’t treat your grandmother’s tea set the same way we treat the bathroom towels.
A team you can actually trust in your home
We run on old-school values. Honesty. Professionalism. Respect for your space and your belongings. Our packers are trained and experienced. They know how to protect your goods in transit, how to stack a truck correctly, and how to handle the things that can’t be replaced.

FAQ
Common questions, straight answers
How long does packing take?
It depends on how much you want us to do. For a full 3-bedroom home, allow roughly 4 to 6 hours as a guide. Partial packs take less. We'll give you a more accurate estimate once we know your situation.
Do you have to pack my clothes?
Not at all. We pack what you're comfortable with. If there are areas you'd prefer to handle yourself, for privacy or practicality, just let us know and we'll work around it.
Do I need to be home the whole time?
No. Many of our clients head to work or go out for the day. As long as we have clear instructions, we'll get the job done and contact you when we're finished. We'll sort the lock-up with you beforehand.
What if I still need things during packing?
We'll always leave your overnight essentials untouched. That means your bedding, plates and cups, medications, food, clothes, and anything else you specifically ask us to leave out. You stay comfortable in your home right up until moving day.
What do the boxes look like after you're done?
Every box is clearly labeled with the room it came from and a description of what's inside. No mystery boxes. Unpacking is straightforward because we make sure it is.
What can't you pack?
Hazardous materials, gas bottles, and flammable liquids or aerosols. Everything else is fair game.
