Packing china, glass and pictures from a Harrogate home

Fragile items take the most packing time in a Harrogate home. Plates are wrapped and stood on edge, glasses packed upright with paper between them, and framed pictures and mirrors wrapped and boxed or padded. Every fragile box is marked, and on the van it rides on top of the heavier boxes. A glass cabinet or a set of china can take a couple of hours on its own, which is why it pays to book the fragile pack even if you do the rest.

For a downsize from a big house, decide what is coming before packing starts. Items staying behind, or going to family or a sale, should be marked or moved into one room. Only the rest is packed, which saves boxes and time and keeps a smaller new home from being swamped by furniture it cannot hold. Extra hours for unpacking at the far end can be booked too, so the kitchen is working on the first evening.

How packing works for a Harrogate move

• Allow roughly half a day for a two-bedroom home and most of a day for a large villa, packed in full
• Fragile-only packs of china, glass and pictures take roughly two to three hours
• Cartons, paper, bubble wrap, tape and hanging wardrobe boxes are included in the packing price
• Victorian villas around West Park and the Stray often have cellars and attic rooms, so include them in your photos
• For a downsize from a Duchy or Oatlands house, mark what is staying behind before the packing day
• A full pack is done the day before, which leaves the move itself for loading
