Packing Services

Most moving-day damage happens before the truck even moves — in boxes that were under-packed, over-packed or never sealed properly. Our packing services get your belongings boxed, cushioned and labelled so they survive stacking, strapping and the road between addresses.

Packing well is a skill: heavy items in small boxes, fragile items wrapped individually with dividers and air cushioning, boxes filled full so they do not crush, and every box sealed and labelled with its room and contents. It is slow, fiddly work — and it is exactly what protects glassware, ceramics, electronics, artwork and keepsakes.

Packing help suits anyone short on time, anyone with a house full of fragile things, and anyone who would rather hand the most tedious part of the move to people who do it every week. Tell us on the phone how much needs packing and when moving day is, and we will plan the packing around it.

What the job covers

• Packing of kitchenware, glassware, ceramics, books, clothing and general household goods
• Individual wrapping of fragile items with cushioning, dividers and air pillows
• Sturdy boxes packed full, sealed and labelled by room and contents
• Logical packing order so essentials are easy to find at the new place
• Coordination with your moving day so packed boxes flow straight into loading

How to prepare

• Declutter first — there is no point paying to pack and shift things you will throw away
• Set aside passports, documents, medications, chargers and valuables to travel with you personally
• Empty rubbish bins and defrost the freezer ahead of packing day
• Note any items with existing damage or special sentimental value so they get extra care
• Confirm where packed boxes should be stacked so rooms stay usable until moving day

Once packed, your boxes stack cleanly in the truck, ride without crushing, and unload straight into the right rooms. Combined with our house removals service, packing turns moving week from chaos into a sequence: pack, load, shift, unload, unpack.

Arthur Paine Removals is open Monday to Sunday, 8:00 am to 6:00 pm. Call us to talk through what needs packing and when you need it done by.
