• Electronics: TVs, computers, small appliances, speakers
• Office contents: files, folders, stationery, small equipment and peripherals

• Sofa and mattress covers, TV and picture protection
• Clearly printed labels and room markers for easy unpacking

What’s Not Included

For safety, legal and insurance reasons, there are some items we usually cannot pack:

• Flammable or hazardous materials (gas bottles, fuel, paint thinners, certain chemicals)
• Open food, perishables and anything leaking or poorly contained
• Illegal items or anything prohibited under UK law

Our Step-by-Step Packing and Moving Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

You contact Marylebone Movers with details of your move and packing needs. We ask a few key questions about property size, access, dates and any special items. Based on this, we provide an initial estimate for our Packing and Boxes service, clearly setting out what is included.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For most moves we carry out a short survey, either via video call or an in-person visit in Marylebone. This lets us assess volume, identify fragile or high-value items, and work out the right mix of boxes and materials. It also helps us plan how many trained packers you will need and how long the packing will take.

3. Packing & Preparation

On the agreed day, our team arrives with all materials. Rooms are packed methodically: fragile items wrapped carefully, boxes filled correctly to avoid crushing, and everything clearly labelled by room and contents. We can offer:

• Full packing – we pack everything you are moving
• Part packing – we just handle fragile or high-value items
• Supply of boxes only – we deliver materials for you to pack yourself

4. Loading & Transport

Once packing is complete, our moving crew loads the boxes and furniture onto our vehicles. Each item is handled carefully, using trolleys, straps and protective blankets. Your goods are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are with us, giving you added reassurance.

5. Unloading & Placement

At your new property, we unload room by room, placing boxes and furniture where you want them. Because everything is labelled clearly, the move-in process is quicker and more organised. If agreed in advance, we can also provide unpacking services, taking items out of boxes and removing used materials.

Transparent Pricing for Packing and Boxes in Marylebone

We price our Packing and Boxes service based on:

• Volume of goods to be packed
• Level of service (full, part, or fragile-only packing)
• Number of packers and hours required
• Materials used (boxes, wraps, covers and specialist crates if needed)

All quotes are itemised so you can see the cost of labour and materials separately. There are no hidden extras: parking, congestion and access considerations are discussed in advance. We can also supply boxes on a materials only basis if you wish to do your own packing but still want professional-standard cartons.

Why Choose Professional Packing Over DIY or Casual Man-and-Van

DIY packing or relying on a casual man-and-van often leads to rushed boxing, poorly protected items and a stressful move. As a dedicated removals company, we offer:

• Trained packers who understand weight distribution and how to protect delicate items
• Correct use of materials to reduce the risk of breakages
• Systematic labelling so you can find essentials quickly at the other end
• Fully insured handling and transport of your belongings
• Reliable scheduling and clear communication from a stable, established business

In many cases, professional packing actually saves money by reducing damage, lost time and last-minute problems.

Insurance and Professional Standards

Marylebone Movers operates to recognised industry standards, with a strong focus on care and accountability.

• Goods in transit insurance – your belongings are protected while in our vehicles, subject to policy terms.
• Public liability cover – we are insured for work in homes and business premises.
• Trained moving teams – staff are experienced in safe lifting, packing techniques and customer care.

We are transparent about the cover we provide and any exclusions, and we are happy to discuss additional protection for particularly high-value items if needed.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

Protecting your belongings is our first priority, but we also consider the wider impact of our work:

• Use of strong, reusable cartons wherever possible
• Option to collect and re-use boxes in good condition after your move
• Thoughtful use of wrapping materials to reduce waste without compromising safety
• Efficient route planning for our vehicles to help reduce unnecessary mileage

We treat every property with respect, using floor covers and corner protection where appropriate to avoid scuffs and marks.

Real-World Uses of Our Packing and Boxes Service

Moving House in Marylebone

From period mansion blocks to modern apartments, we regularly pack and move households in Marylebone. Our team is used to working around tight stairwells, lifts and restricted parking, ensuring your possessions are well protected from door to door.

Office and Business Relocations

For businesses, we provide structured packing, including crate hire if required, to keep documents and IT organised. We can work outside normal office hours to minimise disruption and ensure a smooth transition to your new premises.

Urgent and Short-Notice Moves

If you have to move quickly, our Packing and Boxes service can be a crucial time-saver. Subject to availability, we can provide same-day or next-day packing teams in Marylebone, bringing all materials and getting you ready to go on a tight schedule.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does your packing and boxes service cost?

Costs depend on how much you have to move, how many packers are needed and whether you choose full or part packing. We typically charge a fixed rate for materials and an hourly or day rate for our packing team. After a short survey, we provide a clear, itemised quotation so you can see exactly what you are paying for. There are no hidden fees, and we are happy to adjust the level of service to suit your budget and priorities.

Can you offer same-day or urgent packing in Marylebone?

In many cases, yes. If our teams are available, we can arrange same-day or next-day packing and supply of boxes in Marylebone. Urgent moves do rely on diary space, so the sooner you contact us, the better the chance of securing your preferred slot. Even at short notice, we still carry out a brief assessment to ensure we bring the right materials and the correct number of packers, keeping the process efficient and well organised.

Are my belongings insured while you pack and move them?

Yes. While your items are in our care and being transported, they are covered by our goods in transit insurance, subject to policy terms and declared values. We also hold public liability cover for work in homes and business premises. We will explain the key points of cover when quoting and can discuss options for particularly high-value items. We always encourage customers to check their own home or business insurance too, as some policies provide additional protection during a move.

What exactly is included in your packing and boxes service?

Our standard service includes professional packers, all necessary boxes and materials, careful packing of agreed items, and clear labelling of every box. We wrap fragile items, protect furniture where required, and prepare everything for safe loading onto our vehicles. We can also provide boxes only, if you prefer to pack yourself, or add on an unpacking service at your new address. Exclusions are mainly hazardous items, perishables, and high-value personal items such as jewellery and cash, which we recommend you move personally.

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

A casual man-and-van service typically provides transport and some lifting, but not structured packing, quality materials or formal insurance arrangements. As a professional removals company, we offer trained staff, proper protective equipment, organised packing and clear paperwork. Your goods are covered by our policies while in transit, and we plan each job carefully to reduce risk and disruption. This level of preparation and accountability makes a significant difference to the safety of your belongings and the overall moving experience.

How far in advance should I book packing and boxes?

Ideally, we recommend booking at least two to three weeks before your move date, especially during busy periods such as the end of the month or school holidays. This gives us time to carry out a survey, plan the team and ensure materials are reserved for you. However, we regularly accommodate short-notice moves in Marylebone when our schedule allows. Even if your dates are not yet confirmed, contacting us early means we can pencil you in and advise on the best timing for packing.
