Packing period houses and full family homes in Beverley
Much of the historic centre of Beverley is Georgian brick, round Saturday Market, Wednesday Market and North Bar Within, and the streets between North Bar and the Westwood are Victorian terraces. Houses like these collect things that need careful packing: china, glass, framed pictures, mirrors and older furniture. Each piece is wrapped in paper and blankets and boxed, and the boxes are labelled by room so they go to the right place at the other end.
A Molescroft or Woodmansey house brings a different job, mainly volume: a kitchen, a garage, children's rooms and a loft. Packing those takes hours, which is why it is usually booked for the day before the move or as the first part of moving day. Materials are included, and anything the owner prefers to pack themselves, such as papers or jewellery, is left aside.
Planning packing for a Beverley move
- Say which rooms are to be packed, or whether the whole house is, so the boxes and time are right
- Point out antiques, glass and pictures, and anything that should travel with you rather than in the van
- Make the loft hatch and garage easy to get at, as those are the slowest parts of a family house to pack
- Keep documents, medicines and valuables in a bag of your own
- In the parking zone, a resident with a permit can buy a visitor permit for the packing day too

Packing Service in Beverley: your questions
Are boxes and wrapping included in the packing service?
Yes. Boxes, paper and wrapping come with the service and are part of the fixed price.
Can you pack antiques and china?
Yes. China, glass and older pieces are wrapped one at a time and boxed. Point out anything of special value when you book, and say if the load is worth more than £10,000.
Should packing be the day before the move?
For a full house, usually yes. A flat or a small terrace can often be packed on the morning of the move.
Can you pack just the kitchen and leave the rest to me?
Yes. Packing can cover a single room, such as the kitchen with its glasses and plates, while you box up the rest; say which rooms when you ask for the price.
