Our Step‑by‑Step Packing and Moving Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact Mayfair Movers with your move details and requirements for Packing and Boxes in {area}. We discuss the size of your property, your timescales and whether you prefer full or part packing. Based on this information, we provide a clear, written quotation outlining the services and materials included.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
To plan accurately, we arrange a virtual or onsite survey. This allows us to see what needs packing, assess access, and identify fragile or unusual items such as pianos, antiques or large artwork. The survey helps us allocate the right number of professional packers, boxes and protective materials for your move date.
3. Packing & Preparation
On the agreed day, our trained team arrives with all necessary materials. We protect floors and key surfaces before we start. Items are packed systematically, with breakables individually wrapped and cushioned. Boxes are labelled clearly by room and contents, which makes unpacking at the other end far more straightforward. If required, we can also dismantle furniture ready for loading.
4. Loading & Transport
Once packing is complete, our removals team carefully loads your boxes and furniture into our vehicles. Everything is secured using straps and protective blankets. Your goods are then transported directly to your new property or to storage, covered by our goods in transit insurance throughout the journey.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new address, we unload and place boxes and furniture into the rooms you specify. If you have chosen our unpacking option, we can also unbox items onto flat surfaces, remove used packing materials and take away empty cartons for reuse or recycling, leaving you with a clearer, safer space to settle in.
Transparent Pricing for Packing and Boxes in {area}
We believe in clear, straightforward pricing. Your quote is based on:
- Property size and volume of items
- Type of packing service (full, fragile‑only, or part packing)
- Number and type of boxes and materials required
- Access conditions at both addresses
- Any additional services, such as unpacking or storage
There are no hidden charges: all labour, materials and travel within the agreed scope are itemised in advance. If you prefer, we can also supply boxes and materials only for self‑packing, with clear guidance on quantities and best practice.
Why Use Professional Packers Instead of DIY or Man‑and‑Van?
While it can be tempting to pack yourself or rely on a casual man‑and‑van, there are important advantages to using a professional packing service:
- Time saving – Our teams pack full properties in a fraction of the time it usually takes customers working alone.
- Reduced risk of damage – Proper materials and techniques greatly lower the chance of breakages and losses.
- Coordinated move – Packing, loading and transport are all planned together, reducing delays and last‑minute issues.
- Insurance protection – Our fully insured service gives you recourse if the unexpected happens.
- Less physical strain – Our team handles the heavy lifting and awkward items safely.
A man‑and‑van service may be suitable for small, simple jobs, but for most home and office moves in {area}, professional packing offers better protection, less stress and a smoother overall experience.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Mayfair Movers operates to high industry standards to protect you and your belongings:
- Goods in transit insurance – Cover for your possessions while they are being moved between properties or to storage.
- Public liability cover – Protection in the unlikely event of damage to property or third parties during the move.
- Trained moving teams – Our staff receive regular training in packing methods, manual handling and safe working practices.
We handle your belongings as if they were our own, with clear documentation and open communication at every stage.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We take care not only of your possessions, but also of your property and the environment. Floors, banisters and doorways are protected where needed to prevent scuffs or marks. Fragile and high‑value items are wrapped and boxed with extra attention, and nothing is rushed.
From a sustainability perspective, we encourage the reuse of sturdy cartons, offer collection of boxes after your move where practical, and source recyclable materials wherever possible. Our aim is to provide a high level of protection with a responsible approach to waste.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does your packing and boxes service cost?
Costs depend mainly on the size of your property, how much you need packing, and whether you choose full or part packing. After a short discussion and, ideally, a survey, we provide a fixed quotation that lists labour, materials and any additional services. We can also quote separately for supply‑only of boxes and materials if you prefer to pack yourself. There are no hidden extras; everything is agreed in writing before we start, so you can budget with confidence for your move in {area}.
Can you offer same‑day or urgent packing in {area}?
Where our schedule allows, we do accommodate same‑day or short‑notice packing requests in {area}. Urgent moves are handled by allocating a suitably sized team and focusing on priority rooms first, such as kitchens, bedrooms and essential documents. Availability will depend on existing bookings and the scale of the job, so it is always best to call us as soon as you know your dates. Even with urgent work, we maintain the same careful, professional packing standards.
Are my belongings insured while you pack and move them?
Yes. Your items are covered by our goods in transit insurance while we are transporting them, and by our public liability cover for work carried out at your premises. Insurance is based on the information provided during quotation and survey, so it is important that we have an accurate picture of what we are moving. We are happy to explain the cover in plain language and can advise if any particularly high‑value items require special arrangements or declarations.
What exactly is included in your packing service?
Our standard packing service includes the supply of agreed boxes and materials, the labour of our trained team to pack your belongings, clear labelling of boxes, and basic protection of key areas within your property. We can also dismantle straightforward furniture items if requested in advance. Optional extras include unpacking at your new address and removal of used packing materials. We tailor the service to your needs, so you can choose anything from a few fragile items packed to a complete, end‑to‑end solution.
How is your service different from a basic man‑and‑van?
A man‑and‑van service typically offers transport and some lifting, but not structured, professional packing. With Mayfair Movers you get professional, trained staff, quality packing materials, systematic labelling, and full planning from survey through to delivery. Our work is fully insured, and we follow established methods to minimise risk of damage. This is particularly important for larger homes, offices or any move involving fragile, bulky or high‑value items, where a casual approach can lead to breakages, delays and extra cost.
How far in advance should I book packing and boxes in {area}?
For the best choice of dates, we suggest booking your packing service at least two to three weeks before your move. This allows time for a survey, planning, and delivery of any boxes you wish to start packing yourself. However, we understand that completion dates and circumstances can change, so we always try to accommodate shorter notice where possible. Once booked, we confirm all details in writing so you know exactly when our team will arrive and what will be done each day.
