Our Step-by-Step Packing and Moving Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
It starts with a quick phone call or online enquiry. We ask a few questions about your property in Kentish Town, the size of your move, and whether you need full packing, partial packing, or just boxes supplied. We then provide a clear, no-obligation quote, outlining exactly what is included.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For anything more than a very small move, we recommend a survey. This can be done via video call or an in-person visit in Kentish Town. We assess the volume of items, fragile or high-value pieces, access and parking, and any special requirements. This allows us to allocate the right team size, materials, and vehicle.
3. Packing & Preparation
On the agreed day, our trained, professional packers arrive with all materials. We work systematically room by room, carefully wrapping fragile items, boxing and labelling everything clearly. Furniture can be dismantled and protected as needed. If you prefer, we can provide a packing only service while you arrange your own transport.
4. Loading & Transport
Once packed, items are carried to the vehicle using protective equipment such as blankets and trolleys. Our vehicles are equipped for removals, and your goods are covered by goods in transit insurance while in our care. We plan routes around Kentish Town and beyond to avoid unnecessary delays where possible.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new property, we unload and place boxes and furniture into the rooms you specify. Clearly labelled boxes make this stage far more efficient. If you have booked an unpacking service, we can also unbox and surface-place items, taking away used packing materials for recycling.
Transparent Pricing for Packing and Boxes in Kentish Town
We believe in clear, straightforward pricing. Our charges are based on:
- The volume of items to be packed
- Type of property and access (e.g. lifts, stairs, parking restrictions)
- Level of service – full packing, partial packing, or materials only
- Distance of the move and any additional services (unpacking, dismantling, storage)
Before you book, you will receive a written quotation listing labour, materials, and any optional extras. There are no hidden mileage or “weekend surprise” charges – everything is agreed in advance so you can budget with confidence.
Why Choose Professional Packing Instead of DIY
Packing often takes much longer than people expect. Boxes packed in a rush or with poor-quality materials are much more likely to crush, split, or lead to damaged contents. By using a professional team, you benefit from:
- Correct box sizes and weight distribution – safer for both contents and lifting
- Specialist protection for fragile and high-value items
- Efficient room-by-room labelling and inventory if required
- Reduced risk of breakages, strains and accidents
- Less stress in the days leading up to moving day
A casual man-and-van service may carry boxes, but often does not include trained packers, quality materials, or adequate insurance. That can be a false economy if something important is damaged beyond repair.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Removal Van Kentish Town operates to recognised industry standards. Our service is:
- Fully insured with goods in transit cover for your belongings while we are transporting them
- Backed by public liability insurance for work carried out on your premises
- Delivered by trained, background-checked moving teams using safe handling methods
We are happy to outline our cover levels and limitations in writing, and to answer any specific questions you have about particular high-value items.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat every item as if it were our own. Corners, edges and surfaces are protected using blankets, wraps and covers. Boxes are stacked in our vehicles to prevent crushing and movement. For properties in Kentish Town’s older buildings, we also take extra care to protect floors, bannisters and doorways.
Where possible, we use recyclable and reusable materials, and we encourage customers to return or reuse boxes after their move. On request, we can collect used boxes in good condition from local addresses for reuse, helping to reduce waste.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does packing and boxes service cost?
The cost depends on how much you need packed, the level of service, and the property layout. For example, a small flat in Kentish Town needing partial packing will cost less than a full three-bedroom home with attic and garage. Our quotes itemise labour and materials separately, so you can see exactly where your money goes. We are always happy to suggest ways to reduce costs, such as packing some items yourself while we focus on fragile or high-value belongings.
Can you offer same-day or urgent packing in Kentish Town?
Where our schedule allows, we can provide same-day or next-day packing and box delivery in Kentish Town and nearby areas. Availability depends on crew and vehicle bookings, so the earlier you contact us, the better. For urgent moves, we may suggest a focused service – for example, we pack the kitchen, fragile items and key rooms first, while you handle less delicate contents. We will always be honest about what is realistically achievable within the time you have.
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 conditions. We also hold public liability insurance for work at your property. During the survey or booking, we can explain the cover levels, any exclusions, and the steps we take to minimise risk. For particularly high-value items, we may recommend additional protection or specific packing methods, which we will discuss with you in advance.
What is included in your packing and boxes service?
Our service can be tailored, but typically includes supply of quality boxes, protective materials, and a trained team to pack your belongings room by room. We wrap fragile items, disassemble certain furniture if agreed, label boxes clearly, and prepare everything for safe transport. You can choose full packing for the entire property, or partial packing for specific areas such as the kitchen, wardrobes or office. We can also provide a materials-only service, delivering boxes and supplies for you to pack yourself.
How is your service different from a basic man-and-van?
A basic man-and-van usually focuses on moving what you have already packed, often without specialist packing skills, quality materials or formal insurance. Our service is a complete removals and packing solution: trained staff, proper planning, professional materials, and fully insured transport. We know Kentish Town well, manage access and parking, and take responsibility for protecting your belongings throughout the process. This reduces the risk of damage, delays and last-minute problems that can occur with more casual services.
How far in advance should I book packing and boxes?
For the best choice of dates, we recommend booking at least two to three weeks before your move, especially if you are in Kentish Town and aiming for month-end or a weekend. That said, we regularly help clients at shorter notice where our diary allows. Early booking also allows time for a proper survey, delivery of any advance boxes you may want, and planning of any dismantling or special packing needs. If your move date is not fixed yet, we can provisionally hold a slot and confirm once contracts are exchanged.
