Our Step‑by‑Step Packing and Moving Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

You contact us with details of your move in Haggerston. We ask a few questions about your property size, number of rooms and any special items. Based on this, we provide a clear, no‑obligation quote for packing and boxes, with or without transport.

2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

For larger or more complex moves, we carry out a survey, either by video call or onsite visit. This allows us to estimate the number of boxes, packing materials, and time required, and to spot access or parking issues before move day.

3. Packing & Preparation

On the agreed date, our trained team arrive with all boxes, wrapping paper, bubble wrap and tape. We protect floors and key walkways, then work systematically room by room. Each box is labelled with its destination room and brief contents so you can find essentials quickly at the new property.

4. Loading & Transport

Once packing is complete, we load your belongings into our vehicles, using blankets, straps and additional protection where needed. Our vehicles are kept clean and are suitable for both local Haggerston moves and longer UK journeys.

5. Unloading & Placement

At your new address, we unload, place boxes in the correct rooms and reassemble any items agreed in advance. We can also remove used boxes and packaging by arrangement, leaving your new space tidy and easier to settle into.

Transparent Pricing for Packing and Boxes

We believe in clear, straightforward pricing. Your quote will typically include:

• Labour for professional packing by our trained team
• All standard removal boxes and packing materials supplied
• Travel time and fuel within the agreed area
• Optional unpacking and box removal if requested

Costs depend mainly on property size, volume of belongings, and how much packing you want us to do (full or partial). There are no hidden extras; any potential additional charges, such as awkward access or long carries, are discussed openly in advance.

Why Use Professional Packers Instead of DIY

Many people start packing themselves and quickly realise it takes longer – and more boxes – than expected. Using a professional packing team offers several real advantages:

• Correct materials and techniques that reduce the risk of damage
• Faster, more efficient packing, often in a single day
• Systematic labelling so you can find items easily in your new place
• Reduced physical strain and less risk of injury from heavy lifting
• Cover under our insurance when we have packed the items

Compared with a casual man‑and‑van, we provide structured packing, documented quotes, and insurance‑backed protection for your belongings.

Insurance and Professional Standards

Man with Van Haggerston operates to recognised industry standards. We are:

• Fully insured with goods in transit cover for your belongings
• Protected by public liability insurance for work at your property
• Staffed by trained teams experienced in safe handling and packing

When we complete the packing, your items are covered in line with our policy terms, giving you added peace of mind. We will explain any limits or conditions clearly so you understand exactly how your belongings are protected.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We treat every item as if it were our own. We use appropriate padding and wrapping for fragile items, protect doors, bannisters and floors where required, and ensure loads are secured properly in the vehicle.

We are also mindful of waste. Wherever possible we:

• Use reusable plastic crates or heavy‑duty cartons for repeat use
• Offer collection and re‑use of boxes after your move, where practical
• Select recyclable paper and cardboard products

This approach helps reduce environmental impact while still keeping your belongings safe.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does your packing and boxes service cost?

Costs vary depending on property size, the volume of belongings and how much you want us to pack. A small flat may only need a part‑day with fewer boxes, while a larger house can take one or two full days with more materials. We provide a clear written quote that includes labour, boxes and packing materials. There are no hidden charges, and we are happy to break down costs for full packing, partial packing and materials‑only options so you can choose what suits your budget.

Can you offer same‑day or urgent packing in Haggerston?

We can often accommodate urgent or short‑notice packing jobs in Haggerston, depending on our schedule and the size of the move. For smaller flats or student rooms, same‑day packing and moving is usually realistic. For larger homes or offices, we may split work over two days or bring a larger team. The sooner you contact us, the easier it is to secure your preferred date and time, but we will always do our best to help in genuine last‑minute situations.

Are my belongings insured while you pack and move them?

Yes. We provide goods in transit insurance for items we are moving, and public liability cover while we work at your property. When our team have packed your belongings using our materials, they are covered in line with our policy terms. We will explain any exclusions, limits and excesses in plain language before work begins. High‑value or unusual items should be highlighted in advance so we can confirm cover and arrange any additional protection if required.

What exactly is included in your packing and boxes service?

Our standard service includes supply of boxes and packing materials, professional packing of agreed items, clear labelling of boxes by room and contents, and preparation for loading. Where we are also handling your move, it continues with loading, transport, unloading and placing boxes in the correct rooms. Optional extras include dismantling and re‑assembling furniture, unpacking at the new property, and removal of used boxes afterwards. We agree the exact scope with you in writing so you know precisely what to expect.

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

A basic man‑and‑van typically offers transport only, with you responsible for all packing and often loading. Our service includes professional packing, suitable materials, trained staff and insurance for your belongings. We carry out surveys where needed, plan access and parking, protect your property and handle fragile or bulky items correctly. This reduces the risk of damage, speeds up your move and provides a more organised, predictable experience than a casual transport‑only option.

How far in advance should I book packing and boxes?

For best availability, we recommend booking your packing service 2–3 weeks before your move date, especially during busy periods such as month‑end or summer. This allows time for a survey if needed and ensures we have the right team and materials reserved. However, we understand completion dates and tenancy changes can be unpredictable, so we also keep some flexibility for shorter‑notice bookings. If your dates are uncertain, we can pencil you in and confirm once your schedule is finalised.
