Packing Services in Queensbury

Packing a Queensbury house for wind, rain and a roadside load

The weather at about 1,100 feet can turn during a morning, and on the older High Street terraces the boxes travel from the hall to a van standing on the road. So every box is taped top and bottom, mattresses and upholstered chairs go in covers, and anything that must stay dry, such as paperwork and electrics, is wrapped before it leaves the house. The same driver packs and loads, so boxes are built square to stack.

Tall stone terraces also hide a lot. An attic up a steep stair and a cellar below the kitchen can hold as much as the bedrooms, and both are counted in at the quote from photos rather than discovered on the day. Heavy items such as tools and books go in small boxes so one person can carry them safely down steep steps.

How a packing day runs in a Queensbury home

• Boxes in mixed sizes, paper, bubble wrap, tape, wardrobe boxes and mattress covers are brought along and included in the price
• Where a High Street terrace has steep, narrow cellar steps, the cellar is packed into small boxes first so each one comes up safely
• A full pack of a two-bed home is typically about half a day; three bedrooms with an attic and cellar takes most of a day
• A kitchen-and-fragiles pack suits anyone happy to box their own clothes and books
• Filled boxes are stacked by room as the day goes on, so the hall and stairs stay clear
• Packing the day before the move means the loading morning is short, which helps if the forecast is poor
