Packing Services in Yeadon

Packing boxes light enough to carry down Yeadon's front steps

A large box full of books can weigh more than a bedside cabinet, and on a flight of stone steps that matters. So heavy things are spread across small boxes, bedding and cushions fill the big ones, and nothing is packed so full that the lid bows. It speeds up the next morning as well, because boxes that can be carried in one go keep the loading at a steady pace up or down the path.

Older stone houses near the centre often have a cellar, and cellars fill with paint, jars, garden tools and whatever nobody sorted after the last move. That space is counted when the price is worked out, along with the loft. In the kitchen, plates are wrapped one at a time and stood on edge, each glass gets its own wrap, and gaps are filled with paper so nothing shifts. Every box is marked with the room it is going to.

What happens on packing day at a Yeadon house

• Boxes in several sizes, paper, bubble wrap, tape, wardrobe boxes and mattress covers all come with the job
• Allow about half a day for a two-bed and most of a day for a three-bed, longer if the cellar is full
• Photograph the cellar as well as the loft: in the older houses near the centre it can be the fullest space in the house
• For a house up steps, every box is packed no heavier than one person can carry down a flight
• If you only want the kitchen or the breakables done, that can be booked on its own
• Set aside what you need that night and the next morning, so it is not packed by mistake

• Flats over the High Street shopsa small pack, usually a morning, carried down a narrow stair
• Detached houses towards Rawdonmore rooms and storage space, so a full pack can run all day
