Why have your home packed professionally?
Packing is underestimated. Most people treat it as a weekend job, and packing properly takes far longer than that. It is the usual reason a move becomes stressful. When we pack for you, you get that time back, and you avoid the scratches, breakages and badly packed glassware that otherwise happen.
We pack faster and more densely because we have done it daily for more than 125 years. Our packers know how to wrap china so it does not crack, how to stack glass so it does not scratch, and how to pack a television so it survives the journey.
How we pack
We always work systematically, room by room. That means you can find your things both during and after the move, and the crew can empty the rooms in a logical order. Every box gets a clear label with its destination room (kitchen, bedroom, office) and a short description of the contents (pots, glasses, books).
Heavy items go at the bottom, light at the top, fragile in the middle with extra padding. Glass and china are wrapped individually in acid-free paper, never newspaper: newspaper ink transfers and is hard to wash off a glaze. Artwork and mirrors get bubble wrap and cardboard corners.
What is included
When you book packing with us, this comes with it:
- All packing materials (boxes, paper, bubble wrap, tape, labels)
- Wardrobe boxes with a rail, so clothes move without needing to be ironed again
- Beds, shelving units and standard furniture taken apart
- Every box labelled with room and contents
- Collection of boxes and packing material after the move, if we are doing the move as well
Combining packing with the rest
Most customers combine packing with a home move. If some of your belongings need to go into storage while you renovate, we take them straight to our own warehouse in Birkerød. That way the whole move is handled by one crew, on one quote, with one invoice.
