Packing Services in Normanton

Packing a Normanton home around Europort shifts and the Leeds train

The warehouses and distribution sheds around junction 31 run shifts, so a packing day here may need to work round someone who came off a night shift that morning. Give the shift pattern when you book. The bedroom they sleep in is left alone until the afternoon, and the kitchen, the loft and the spare room are packed first. For a commuter on the Leeds or Wakefield trains, a weekend or a day off is the easier slot, since the van runs seven days.

The other thing that shapes a Normanton pack is the jump from a pit terrace off the High Street to a newer house on the estates or in Altofts. In the terrace the stairs rise out of the front room, so packed boxes are stacked by the front door in the order they will load. A bigger new house has rooms the old one lacked, so each box is labelled for where it will live at the new address, including a study or spare room the terrace never had.

How a Normanton packing day is set up

• Boxes in mixed sizes, packing paper, bubble wrap, tape and wardrobe boxes come with the job
• Tell us your Europort shift times or your train times, and the packing slot is arranged around them
• A night-shift bedroom is packed last, once whoever sleeps there is up
• In a High Street terrace with no hall, finished boxes are stacked by the front door in loading order
• Labels name the room at the new house, not the room the box came from
• Existing beds and flat-pack are taken apart and bagged with their fixings

What goes into the price of packing a Normanton home

The number of rooms, how much of it is fragile, and whether a loft, garage or shed is included decide the price, and the materials are already counted in it. It is fixed from your photos before the day. See how we quote for the full breakdown.
