Packing Service in Wetherby

The china cabinet, the pictures and the things that only move once

People underestimate glassware more than anything else. A single display cabinet can take the best part of an hour to do properly, because each piece is wrapped in paper, then the fragile ones in bubble wrap, then boxed small with the weight kept down and the gaps filled so nothing shifts. Pictures and mirrors get corner protection and go on edge, never flat under other boxes. Clocks, lamps and anything with a loose base are packed separately and marked.

Downsizing also means sorting, and that part stays yours. Plenty of customers here want us to pack the kitchen, the cabinet, the pictures and the wardrobes, while they work through the loft and the paperwork at their own pace. We label by room at the new address, not the old one, which matters when you are going from a village house into a central apartment and half the furniture is not coming with you.

What Wetherby packing service usually involves

• Thursday market takes the Market Place and the Town Hall island for most of the day, so central jobs load before or after it
• Flats above the High Street shops mean a stair carry, so boxes are packed small and labelled on the side for stacking
• Wardrobe boxes keep hanging clothes on their hangers, which saves a morning of ironing at the other end
• The town centre runs as a one-way loop around the Shambles, so we set the van once and work to it rather than moving it about
• Feeder roads at Micklethwaite, Sandbeck and Spofforth Hill are narrow with tight turning heads, so we agree a standing spot before the day

What it costs

Packing in Wetherby is priced on the number of rooms and the amount of fragile wrapping, so a fragile-only booking costs far less than a full house. There's no travel surcharge for coming to Wetherby from Bradford, and you get the price before we set off, not after. See how we quote for the full breakdown.
