Packing Services in Wetherby

Packing the china cabinet, the glass and the pictures in a Wetherby home

Glassware takes longer than anything else. A single display cabinet can take the best part of an hour, because each piece is wrapped in paper, delicate ones in bubble wrap, then boxed small with the gaps filled so nothing shifts. Pictures and mirrors get corner protection and travel on edge, never flat under boxes. Clocks, lamps and anything with a loose base are packed on their own and marked.

If you are moving to somewhere smaller, sort before we start. We pack what is going and label it by the room it is going to at the new address, which matters when a five-room house is going into a flat. Fragile-only packing is an option too: the kitchen, the cabinet and the pictures are done for you, and the books and clothes are left for you to box at your own pace.

How packing works in a Wetherby home

• Boxes, paper, bubble wrap, tape, wardrobe boxes and mattress covers all come with the packing
• Mention the loft and garage at the quote, because they often hold more than the bedrooms
• Moving from a village house in Collingham or Boston Spa into a Wetherby flat? Measure the new rooms first, and only what is going gets packed
• Flats over the shops mean a stair carry, so boxes are kept to a weight one person can manage safely
• Wardrobe boxes keep hanging clothes on their hangers
• Keep a first-night box of kettle, mugs, chargers and bedding aside and clearly marked

• Around the Market Placeolder buildings with narrow stairs, so small boxes throughout
• Hallfield and Barleyfieldsfamily homes where a full pack is usually a single day
• Boston Spa and Collinghamvillage houses packed the same way as a Wetherby address

What a Wetherby packing quote is based on

The number of rooms and the amount of fragile wrapping decide the price, so a fragile-only booking costs far less than a full house. Materials are included in the fixed price. See how we quote for the full breakdown.
