Our Step-by-Step Packing and Moving Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us with your moving details and what you need packed. We ask a few questions about property size, access and any special items. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote outlining expected materials, labour and timing.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For larger homes or businesses, we recommend a survey. This can be virtual (video call and photos) or an onsite visit in Lamorbey. The survey lets us gauge the volume of belongings, complexity of access and any fragile or high-value items so we can allocate the right number of boxes, packing materials and staff.
3. Packing & Preparation
On the agreed day, our professional, trained packers arrive with all required materials. We protect surfaces as needed, then pack room by room, labelling boxes clearly with both contents and destination room. Fragile items are wrapped and cushioned appropriately. We can offer:
- Full packing service – we pack everything you want moved.
- Part packing service – we focus on fragile or high-risk items.
- Boxes and materials only – we supply quality boxes and you pack yourself.
4. Loading & Transport
If you book us for moving as well, the same team will usually handle both packing and loading for continuity. We load your packed boxes carefully onto our vehicles, securing them to minimise movement in transit. Your goods are covered by goods in transit insurance during the journey.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new address, we unload boxes to the correct rooms as labelled. If agreed in advance, we can also provide an unpacking service, placing items on surfaces and taking away used boxes and materials for reuse or recycling where possible.
Transparent Pricing Explained
We believe in clear, straightforward pricing. Our quotes for packing and boxes in Lamorbey are based on:
- Volume of items to be packed
- Type and quantity of materials required (boxes, wrap, tape, covers)
- Number of packers needed and duration of the job
- Any special handling or access challenges
You will receive a written breakdown so you know what is included. There are no hidden extras: any potential additional costs (for example, last-minute changes or extra packing requested on the day) are discussed clearly before we proceed.
Why Choose Professional Packing Over DIY or Casual Man-and-Van
Many people start packing themselves and quickly realise how time-consuming and physically demanding it is. Using our professional packing service offers several advantages:
- Proper protection – experience in packing fragile and awkward items significantly reduces the risk of damage.
- Time saving – a trained team can pack a typical home far quicker than most individuals.
- Organised labelling – boxes are grouped and labelled to make unloading and unpacking easier.
- Insurance-backed – when we pack, items are covered under our goods in transit insurance subject to terms.
By contrast, casual man-and-van options may not offer adequate protection, insurance or consistent standards, and can leave you to manage all the packing and organisation alone.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Your belongings are important, and we treat them accordingly. Man with Van Lamorbey operates with:
- Goods in transit insurance to cover your items while they are being moved, subject to policy terms and conditions.
- Public liability cover for peace of mind when we are working in your home or business premises.
- Trained moving teams who follow safe lifting, packing and handling methods.
We are always happy to explain our cover in more detail and confirm how it applies to your specific move and packing requirements.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat every property and item with care. Floors and key surfaces can be protected where needed, and fragile items are wrapped using suitable packing materials. We aim to minimise waste by:
- Using sturdy, re-usable boxes wherever practical
- Collecting and reusing boxes in good condition after your move when agreed
- Choosing recyclable materials where possible
Our goal is to combine reliable protection for your belongings with a responsible approach to materials and disposal.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does your packing and boxes service in Lamorbey cost?
Costs depend on the size of your property, how much you want us to pack, and whether you need materials supplied. Small flats may only need a few hours and a limited number of boxes, while larger homes or offices take longer and require more materials and staff. After a brief discussion or survey, we provide a clear written quote with labour and materials itemised. This means you can see exactly what you are paying for and adjust the level of service to suit your budget.
Can you offer same-day or urgent packing in Lamorbey?
We can often help with short-notice or urgent packing jobs, especially on weekdays, but it depends on our schedule and the scale of the work. For smaller flats, student moves or part-packing, same-day or next-day support is frequently possible. For full-home or business packing, we may need slightly more notice to allocate enough staff and materials. If you have an urgent deadline, contact us as soon as you can, and we will advise honestly what is achievable and when.
Are my belongings insured while you pack and move them?
Yes. When you use our packing and moving service, your goods are covered by our goods in transit insurance while being transported, subject to the terms of our policy. We also hold public liability cover for work carried out in your property. There are some exclusions, such as certain high-value items or owner-packed boxes, which we will explain clearly before work begins. If you have particularly valuable possessions, we can advise on the best way to protect them or whether extra cover is recommended.
What exactly is included in your packing and boxes service?
As standard, we provide the agreed number of professional packers, all necessary packing materials (boxes, tape, paper, wrap and covers) and methodical packing of your specified items. We label boxes clearly with contents and destination rooms, and prepare everything for loading. If booked together with our removals service, this then flows directly into transport and unloading. Optional extras can include part-packing only, unpacking at your new address, and collection of used boxes after you are finished with them.
What is the difference between your service and a basic man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van service typically offers transport only, leaving you to source boxes, pack everything, manage protection and accept any risk of poor packing. Our approach is different: we provide trained staff, quality materials, structured packing, clear labelling and proper insurance. We also carry out planning in advance so there are no surprises on the day. This results in fewer breakages, much less stress and a more efficient move overall, especially for larger homes, offices or time-sensitive relocations.
How far in advance should I book packing and boxes in Lamorbey?
For full-house or office packing, we recommend booking at least two to three weeks ahead, especially if you are planning to move at weekends or at busy times of year. This allows us to schedule a survey if needed and ensure we have enough materials and staff reserved for you. Smaller jobs, part-packing or student moves can often be fitted in with less notice. If your dates are not fixed yet, we can pencil you in and confirm closer to the time, subject to availability.
