What’s Included in Our Package and Boxes Service

Packaging Materials We Supply

We can supply a full range of removals-grade materials for moves in Putney, including:

• Small, medium and large double-walled moving boxes
• Wardrobe boxes with hanging rails
• Book boxes for heavy items
• Bubble wrap and paper wrap
• Furniture covers and mattress protectors
• Tape, tape dispensers and fragile tape

Optional Professional Packing Service

If you prefer, our trained packers will visit your property in Putney and handle everything for you:

• Room-by-room packing using suitable boxes and padding
• Careful wrapping of fragile items, glass and electronics
• Organised labelling so unpacking is straightforward
• Disassembly of basic furniture where required

This can be combined with our full removals service, or booked as a standalone packing and boxes job if you already have transport arranged.

What Is Not Included

To keep everyone safe and insured, there are some items we cannot pack or box:

• Hazardous or flammable materials (e.g. petrol, gas bottles, paint thinners)
• Illegal items or substances
• Open containers of liquids that may leak
• Perishable food for long-distance or storage moves
• Live animals or plants
• High-value items such as jewellery, cash or important documents – we recommend you carry these yourself

If you are unsure whether an item can be packed, just ask and we will advise the safest option.

Our Step-by-Step Packing & Boxes Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

Contact Putney Man and Van by phone or email with your move date, property size and whether you need materials only or full packing. We will ask a few simple questions and provide a clear, no-obligation quote outlining materials, labour and timings.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For larger homes or offices in Putney, we may recommend a quick virtual or onsite survey. This allows us to assess access, volume of belongings, fragile items and any special requirements. It means we bring the right number and type of boxes and can give accurate timelines and costs.

3. Packing & Preparation

On the agreed day, our professional, trained packing team arrives with all required materials. We usually work room by room, starting with non-essentials. Fragile and high-risk items are wrapped and padded, boxes are filled to the correct level and clearly labelled. If you choose materials only, we deliver or you collect the boxes ahead of your move so you can pack at your own pace.

4. Loading & Transport (When Combined with Removals)

If you book our full removals service as well as packing, we then load your packed boxes and furniture carefully onto our vehicles. Items are secured to prevent movement in transit and protected with blankets and covers. Our fully insured vehicles carry your belongings to the new property or storage facility.

5. Unloading & Placement

At your new address, we unload boxes into the correct rooms based on the labels, and place furniture where requested. If agreed in advance, we can also help with basic unpacking, removing empty boxes so you are not left with packaging clutter.

Transparent Pricing for Package and Boxes in Putney

We keep pricing straightforward and transparent. Costs typically break down into:

• The number and type of boxes and materials required
• Labour time for packing (if you choose our packing team)
• Any delivery or collection of materials outside central Putney

We provide a clear written quote before any work begins, with no hidden extras. For small jobs, we can often give a fixed price. For larger homes and businesses, quotes may be based on an hourly packing rate plus materials. We are happy to tailor packages to your budget – from materials only to a fully managed service.

Why Use Professional Packing Instead of DIY?

Many people start packing themselves and quickly realise how time-consuming and physically demanding it is. Using a professional packing and boxes service in Putney offers several advantages:

• Correct boxes and protective materials used for each type of item
• Far lower risk of breakages or damage
• Faster packing by an experienced, trained team
• Less disruption to work and family life
• Better organisation, labelling and easier unpacking

DIY or casual help often relies on supermarket boxes and bin bags, which are not designed for moving and can fail under weight or during lifting. Our approach is designed around safety, protection and efficiency.

Insurance & Professional Standards

Putney Man and Van operates to recognised removals standards to protect you and your belongings.

• Fully insured for goods in transit when we handle packing and removals.
• Public liability cover for work carried out in your home, office or building.
• Trained packing and moving teams who know how to handle fragile, bulky and valuable items.
• Clean, well-maintained vehicles and quality packing materials.

We explain exactly what is covered and any limits or exclusions before work begins, so you can make informed decisions about additional cover if required.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We treat your belongings as carefully as we would our own. That means:

• Using appropriate padding and double-wall boxes for fragile items
• Protecting furniture with covers, blankets and corner protection
• Loading and stacking boxes to avoid crushing and movement

We are also mindful of the environment. Wherever possible, we reuse sturdy boxes, encourage customers to return reusable materials and source recyclable products. If you would like us to collect used boxes after your move in Putney, just let us know and we will arrange it where practical.

Real-World Uses for Our Package and Boxes Service in Putney

Moving House

From studio flats to family homes, we regularly support Putney residents with full packing and boxes, or top-up materials when you run short. Properly packed belongings help ensure a smoother move and quicker unpacking.

Office and Business Relocations

Offices, clinics, retail units and studios rely on us for labelled crates, archive boxes and secure packing of IT equipment. We can work outside normal hours to minimise downtime and disruption to staff and customers.

Urgent and Last-Minute Moves

Life does not always give much notice. If you have a short-notice move in Putney, we can often provide same-day or next-day boxes and an urgent packing team, subject to availability. This is especially helpful for tenants with imminent check-out dates or businesses facing unexpected changes.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does your package and boxes service in Putney cost?

Costs depend mainly on the number of boxes required, the type of materials and whether you choose a full packing service or materials only. For small flats, material-only packages are usually very affordable, while full packing for larger homes or offices will involve more time and materials. After a quick discussion or survey, we provide a clear written quote so you know exactly what you are paying for. There are no hidden extras, and we can often tailor options to match your budget.

Can you provide same-day or urgent packing and boxes?

In many cases, yes. If you are in Putney and need urgent boxes or last-minute packing help, we will always try to fit you in. Same-day service depends on our schedule and the size of the job, but we can often deliver boxes quickly or send a small team for emergency packing. The earlier you call, the better the chance of securing your preferred slot. For large homes or business moves, next-day or short-notice bookings are usually more realistic.

Are my belongings insured when you pack them?

When we provide both the packing and the removals transport, your goods are covered by our goods in transit insurance, subject to our terms and conditions. This insurance is designed to protect against accidental damage or loss while items are in our care. We also hold public liability insurance for work at your property. We will explain the cover limits, any exclusions and how to declare particularly valuable items. If you are using our packing only and arranging your own transport, you should check what cover your carrier provides.

What is included in a typical package and boxes service?

A typical service for Putney customers can include delivery of professional quality boxes, packing paper, bubble wrap, tape and covers, plus the labour of our trained packers if you opt for full packing. We work through your property, wrapping fragile items, packing boxes securely and labelling everything by room and contents. You can choose materials only, partial packing (for example, just the kitchen and fragile items) or a complete packing service, combined with removals if needed. We tailor the service around your move and preferences.

How is this different from a basic man-and-van service?

A basic man-and-van job usually focuses on transport only, often relying on whatever boxes you provide and with limited or no packing support. Our Putney package and boxes service is run by a professional removals team who supply purpose-made materials, apply proper packing techniques and work to recognised standards. We offer fully insured moves when we handle both packing and transport, and our staff are specifically trained in handling fragile, bulky and valuable items. The result is a safer, more organised and less stressful move than a casual man-and-van can normally offer.

How far in advance should I book packing and boxes?

For the best choice of dates, we recommend booking your Putney packing and boxes service 1–3 weeks before your move, especially during busy periods such as month-end and summer. This gives us time to carry out a survey if needed and ensure the right materials are reserved. However, we understand that moves can be confirmed late, and we regularly accommodate short-notice bookings. Even if your move is only a few days away, it is worth contacting us – we will always do our best to help.
