Packing a Garforth semi, loft and garage included
The loft has the suitcases, decorations and boxes that went up years ago, and the garage has tools, paint and garden kit. Both take longer than a bedroom, so they are counted at the quote. Paint and anything flammable are best dealt with by you before the day, because they should not travel in a closed van. Garden tools are bundled and taped so they stack.
The kitchen is where care matters. Crockery is wrapped piece by piece and stood on its edge in small, strong boxes, and glasses are stuffed and wrapped. Weight goes in the small boxes, bulk in the big ones, so every box is a one-person lift. The label on each box names the room it is heading for in the new house, so the unload goes straight to the right place.
How a Garforth pack is organised
- Boxes, paper, bubble wrap, tape, wardrobe boxes and mattress covers all come with the service
- Expect around half a day for a two-bed and most of a day for a three-bed
- In the semis west and east of the centre, the loft and garage are counted at the quote, not found on the day
- Church Garforth terraces have tight stairs, so boxes are kept small enough to carry down them
- You can book just the kitchen or just the breakables and do the rest yourself
- Box labels show the destination room, not the room the box came from

Packing Services in Garforth: your questions
What should be packed first?
The loft and the garage, because they take longest and are the easiest to put off until the last night.
Do you bring the boxes?
Yes, all materials are included and the count is estimated at the quote.
Can you unpack at the new house?
Yes, if you book it. The kitchen is usually the room worth doing first.
Do I need to empty the drawers?
Light clothes can often stay in a sturdy chest of drawers. Anything heavy or breakable comes out and is boxed.
Can you pack on a weekday evening?
For a small flat, yes, since the van runs until 8pm. A whole house is better done over a full day, such as a Saturday ahead of a Monday move.
