Packing Services in Haworth

Boxes that survive a Haworth trolley carry

The rule for a long carry is small and full. Heavy things such as books, tins and tools go in small, strong boxes, light and bulky things such as bedding and cushions in large ones, and every box is filled to the top so it does not crush when another is stacked on it. A box that fits comfortably down a cottage stair and sits flat on a trolley is quicker to move than two half-filled ones. Each is labelled with the room it is going to, so it is carried once at the other end.

Kitchens take the longest. Plates are wrapped one at a time and stood on edge, glasses go in cell dividers, and pans nest together with paper between them. Older stone houses hide a lot in the pantry, the cupboard under the stairs and the attic room, so those are opened and counted at the quote rather than discovered on the day. Packing is usually done the day before the move, with all materials included, so loading can start first thing the next morning.

How a cottage pack in Haworth is planned and done

• Materials are included: boxes in mixed sizes, paper, bubble wrap, tape, wardrobe boxes and mattress covers
• Boxes for a setted street are kept to a size that sits flat on the trolley and goes down a cottage stair without tipping
• The pantry, under-stairs cupboard and any attic room are counted in at the quote so the box count is right
• Fragile boxes are marked on two sides and travel on top of the load
• Unpacking at the new address can be booked as extra time, with empty boxes flattened and stacked for you

What changes the price of packing a Haworth home

The number of rooms and how full they are set the time, with the kitchen and any attic or loft the biggest variables. A fixed price is agreed before the day, with every box and roll of tape included. See how we quote for the full breakdown.
