Customers that do not have the time or simply do not wish to pack their goods before a move must select a transport company that offers professional packing services. This can be quite a task. Managing your own packing can add to the stress of a move, especially if you don’t have previous packing experience. This is why Man and Van Greater London has included packing services as part of our offerings.
Man and Van ‘Move Coordinators’ supervise each move. They also ensure that your packing is efficiently done, here’s how:
A member of staff visits the pick-up location to evaluate your goods – please permit our staff to take photographs of your goods, should they feel the need to do so. They report their observations to Move Coordinators who access the time and materials it will take to pack your consignment.
Move Coordinators then send a quote explaining the cost of packing along with the total cost for transporting your goods. We do not charge for the time taken by our staff for the evaluation.
On opting for our packing services, at least two expert packers are sent to your address a day before the move (packers can visit on the day of the move as well, provided the move is in the afternoon and we are certain the packing can be completed in time for your move).
Our experienced packers arrive at the location with required packing material. They carry a supply of bubble wrap, cardboard boxes, wardrobe boxes, packing paper for glass and other fragile items, mattress bags and shrink wrap. Once carefully packed, your goods are loaded into our well-maintained vans. All our vans are equipped with removal blankets, straps, loading platforms, and trolleys. These are used by our drivers and packers to safely load and unload your goods.
Charges for our Packing Services
While our Move Coordinators will give you a separate quote, the below will give you an estimate about the charges for our packing services:
| No of packers | Days | Maximum hours | Charge |
| 2 | Half day | 4 | 200 |
| 2 | Full day | 8 | 350 |
The cost increases in proportion to the increase in the number of packers and the time taken to pack.
Charges for packing materials are additional. Packing material is priced at £100 for 1 bedroom, £200 for 2 bedrooms, £ 300 for 3 bedrooms, and so on. If you are looking to shift an office or a single room, please let us know and we will send a quote accordingly.
If you prefer to pay for each packed item separately, we can provide item specific quotes as well. This pricing model works better for those having limited goods to transport.
To ensure that you get the best deal, Man and Van calculate a separate item quote as well as a quote based on the number of bedrooms. The cheapest option selected.
Man and Van packing services are separate to your move package. Packing charges for these services are in addition to the cost of your move.
Man and Van offer both ‘Goods in Transit’ and ‘Public Liability’ insurance. Please go through our ‘terms and conditions’ for further details.
