Packing up a parent's South Kirkby house for a smaller home
When someone leaves a house at Northfield or Clock Row for a single room on Stockingate or Carr Lane, only part of a household goes with them. Decide with the family what is moving before packing day, so what is going is boxed and labelled and the rest is left in one room for you to sort. Anything not kept is for you to arrange, through the council's bulky item collection or the recycling centre on Brigantian Way.
For a family move between estates the work is volume rather than decisions: a kitchen, a loft and a shed full of tools. Glass and china are wrapped one piece at a time and set on edge, books go in small cartons and bedding in big ones, and every box is marked with its room at the new house. Moving day then becomes loading, not packing.

Packing Service in South Kirkby: your questions
How long does packing a South Kirkby house take?
A two-bed is often a day, a full three-bed with a loft longer. The photos or video call set the time before you book.
Can I pack some rooms myself?
Yes. Many people do the bedrooms and leave the kitchen and fragile things to the packing day, which lowers the hours.
Will you unpack at the other end?
Boxes go into the rooms they are marked for. Unpacking can be added if you ask when booking.
