Which Warrington homes are worth having packed
The houses south of the Ship Canal are the obvious candidates. Stockton Heath grew from a village around Victoria Square, and Appleton is mostly detached houses while Grappenhall is mostly semis, many with full kitchens, dressers and lofts. A kitchen alone can fill a dozen boxes of glasses, plates and pans, and packing it well takes longer than any other room, so that is where most people want help.
At the other end of the scale, a Latchford terrace has small rooms and a narrow stair, and a well-packed set of medium boxes moves through it far faster than loose items and bags. Packing can be done on the day of the move, or the day before for a bigger house, and the boxes are labelled by room so they are unloaded straight into the right place.
Getting a Warrington house ready for packing
- Say which rooms you want packed and which you will do yourself
- Set aside documents, medicines, chargers and keys in a bag that travels with you
- Empty and defrost the freezer the day before
- Point out anything valuable or fragile, such as pictures, mirrors or a glass cabinet
- For an upright piano, mention it when you ask, as it needs notice
- Leave out the things you will need on the first night, such as bedding, the kettle and a change of clothes

Packing Service in Warrington: your questions
Do you bring the boxes and packing materials?
Yes. Boxes, paper and tape come in the van, enough for the rooms agreed when the price was set.
Can you pack just the kitchen?
Yes. Many people pack the bedrooms themselves and leave the kitchen and fragile things to the driver.
Is packing worth it for a small terrace in Latchford?
Often, if time is short. Small rooms fill up quickly with loose items, and a set of labelled, even-sized boxes is far easier to carry down a narrow stair and stack in the van.
When does the packing happen?
On the morning of the move for a flat or small house, or the day before for a bigger house in Stockton Heath or Appleton.
