Specialist Packing and Boxes Service in Putney

Whether you are moving across Putney, across London or further afield, good packing is what keeps your possessions safe. We supply the right boxes, pack them correctly and clearly label everything so that unpacking is straightforward at the other end.

What Our Packing and Boxes Service Includes

Our trained team can safely pack most household and office contents, including:

• Books, clothes and general household items
• Kitchenware, glassware, crockery and small appliances
• Pictures, mirrors and decorative items
• TVs, computers and small electronics (using suitable protection)
• Files, stationery and office equipment

Items We Cannot or Do Not Pack

For safety, insurance and legal reasons, some items are excluded from our packing service. We will always advise you clearly during your survey. Typically excluded items include:

• Live plants and animals
• Cash, jewellery and high‑value personal documents (we recommend you transport these yourself)

If you are unsure whether something can be packed, ask our team during the quotation or survey stage and we will give clear guidance.

Types of Packing Services We Offer

• Full packing service – We pack your entire property, supply all boxes and materials, and prepare everything for moving day.
• Part packing service – Ideal if you want us to handle only breakables, the kitchen, or specific rooms.
• Owner‑packed with our boxes – We deliver quality packing boxes and materials; you do the packing in your own time.
• Unpacking service – On arrival, we can unpack items onto flat surfaces and remove empty boxes and packing materials.

Our Step‑by‑Step Packing and Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

You contact Putney Removals by phone or online, and we discuss your move, the size of your property and your preferred dates. We then provide a clear, no‑obligation quote outlining packing options, box supply and any additional services you may need.

2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

For anything more than a very small move, we arrange a virtual or onsite survey. This allows us to see what needs packing, identify fragile or high‑value items, and work out how many boxes and what type of packing materials we’ll need. It also helps us plan timings so we allocate enough staff on the day.

3. Packing & Preparation

On the agreed day, our trained team arrives with all required packing materials. We protect surfaces where necessary, then work systematically room by room. Fragile items are wrapped and cushioned, boxes are filled to the right level, and everything is clearly labelled with contents and destination room. Wardrobe cartons, mattress bags and TV covers are used where appropriate.

4. Loading & Transport

Once packing is complete, your items are loaded onto our removal vehicles using the correct lifting techniques and protective equipment. Furniture is blanket‑wrapped and secured. Your goods are then transported directly to your new property or to storage, covered by our goods in transit insurance for added peace of mind.

5. Unloading & Placement

At the destination, we unload and place each box and item into the correct room, following the labels and your instructions. If you have booked our unpacking service, we will also unpack onto flat surfaces and remove the used packing materials for recycling or reuse where possible.

Transparent Pricing for Packing and Boxes

We believe in clear, straightforward pricing. Our quotes set out:

• Whether you have chosen full, part or owner‑packed service
• The estimated number and type of boxes required
• The cost of materials (boxes, wrap, tape, etc.)
• The labour time needed for packing and unpacking

Prices depend on property size, the volume of goods and access at each address. There are no hidden extras: any potential additional charges (for example, long carries, parking or unusual access) are explained in advance so you can budget with confidence.

Why Choose Professional Packing Instead of DIY

Packing looks simple, but doing it well takes experience. Professional packing helps you in several ways:

• Reduced risk of breakages thanks to correct techniques and materials
• Faster preparation, freeing your time for other aspects of the move
• Less physical strain from lifting and carrying heavy items
• Better organisation at the new property through clear labelling
• Improved protection for awkward, valuable or sentimental items

Compared with a casual man‑and‑van, our service includes trained staff, high‑grade packing materials and full documentation, which provides a level of care and accountability that informal services typically cannot match.

Insurance and Professional Standards

Putney Removals operates to recognised industry standards. Your belongings are covered by appropriate goods in transit insurance while being moved by us, and we carry public liability cover to protect you and your property. Our teams are trained in safe handling, packing methods and health & safety, and they work under the supervision of experienced crew leaders.

We are committed to clear communication, punctuality and respectful behaviour in your home or workplace. If there are any specific requirements or concerns, we address them before packing begins.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We treat every item as if it were our own. This means careful wrapping, secure sealing, and correct stacking of boxes so that nothing is crushed or over‑loaded. Sofas, mattresses and other upholstered items can be protected with covers to keep them clean in transit.

Sustainability is important to us. Wherever possible we reuse strong cartons, encourage clients to return undamaged boxes, and recycle materials at the end of each move. We also offer advice on how to declutter before packing so you are not paying to move items you no longer need.

• Urgent or last‑minute moves – When time is tight, our team can step in to pack quickly and securely so you are ready to go on schedule.
• Student moves and storage – Supply of robust boxes and optional packing help for halls, flats and storage units.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a professional packing and boxes service cost?

The cost depends mainly on the size of your property, the volume of belongings and whether you choose a full or part packing service. For smaller flats in Putney, packing is often completed within a few hours with a modest number of boxes and materials. Larger homes, or properties with lots of fragile items, naturally require more time and supplies. Once we have carried out a brief survey, we provide a written quote that details labour, materials and any optional unpacking, so you know exactly what you are paying for.

Can you help with same‑day or urgent packing?

Where our schedule allows, we can assist with short‑notice or urgent packing in Putney and nearby areas. Availability depends on how many teams we already have booked, so the sooner you contact us, the better. For urgent moves, we usually focus on essential rooms and fragile items first, ensuring that the most valuable and breakable belongings are professionally protected. We will always be honest about what we can achieve within the time frame and will never over‑promise or rush in a way that risks damage.

Are my belongings insured while you pack and move them?

Yes. While your goods are in our vehicles and under our care, they are covered by our goods in transit insurance, subject to policy terms and conditions. We also hold public liability cover for additional protection. During the survey and booking stages, we will explain the key points, such as any limits on single‑item value or exclusions that apply to certain goods. You remain responsible for items we do not pack or transport, such as cash and jewellery. If you have very high‑value pieces, we can discuss additional arrangements.

What exactly is included in your packing and boxes service?

Our service can include everything from supplying strong packing boxes and tape through to a complete pack and unpack. As standard, we provide boxes, wrapping paper, bubble wrap for fragile items and clear labelling on every box we pack. For full packing, our team will carefully pack each room, protect furniture and prepare everything for loading. If requested, we can also unpack at your new property and remove the used materials. Any items that cannot be packed for safety or insurance reasons will be clearly explained in advance.

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

Unlike many casual man‑and‑van services, our work is carried out by trained staff using professional packing materials, and your belongings are covered by our insurance while in transit. We carry out surveys, provide written quotes and follow planned processes, rather than turning up on the day and improvising. This reduces the risk of damage, delays and misunderstandings. For customers in Putney who value reliability, proper documentation and accountable service, a professional removals and packing company offers much stronger protection than an informal option.

How far in advance should I book packing and boxes?

We recommend booking as early as you can, ideally two to four weeks before your move, especially during busy periods such as month‑ends and school holidays. Early booking allows us to schedule the right number of staff and materials, and gives you time to decide whether you want full or part packing. That said, we will always do our best to accommodate shorter notice where our diary allows. Even if your dates are not yet fully confirmed, it is worth contacting us to discuss provisional arrangements.
