Packing
Full, partial, or materials only
Packing to whatever depth you actually want. We do the kitchen and the glass either way — those are the two that cost people money when they go into a box badly.
What it involves →Everything we do
Grouped by where each one sits in the move rather than listed alphabetically, because what most people actually want to know is which of these they need and in what order.
If you are not sure, describe the move on the quote form in your own words. Sorting it into the right shape is our job.
Packing and materials — decided at survey, not on the morning.
Full, partial, or materials only
Packing to whatever depth you actually want. We do the kitchen and the glass either way — those are the two that cost people money when they go into a box badly.
What it involves →Collection and delivery on the same day, one address to the next.
Out of one address, into the next
The ordinary case, and still the one that needs the most planning: a whole household surveyed room by room, loaded in an order that matches how it has to come off, and put back where you point.
What it involves →A room, a piece, a part-load
Two crew and a van when a full removal is more than the job needs. A studio off the Broadway, a sofa down from Wimbledon Park, a part-load that has to clear before a tenancy ends.
What it involves →Where storage sits: goods held under inventory between two dates.
Inventoried, sealed, kept
Your things loaded into timber containers at the house, listed as they go in, sealed, and kept that way until you ask for them back. Nothing is repacked behind your back.
What it involves →When the dates do not line up
Completion on one side and the keys on the other rarely land together. This is the arrangement for that: collect, hold, and redeliver on a date you set once you know it.
What it involves →Commercial work scheduled around a building rather than a household.
Merton offices, studios, stock
Office moves around the Broadway, Merton High Street and the Raynes Park side, run outside trading hours where the building allows it, with stock and records kept in a sealed chain.
What it involves →Four inputs, and none of them is how urgent your move sounds. Volume — what is genuinely going, measured rather than guessed from the number of bedrooms. Access at both ends, which in the Village and along the Broadway is frequently the biggest single factor. Packing depth, meaning how much of it you want done for you. And whether anything has to sit in store between the two dates.
That is also what makes quotes comparable. If you are weighing us against another firm, check that both have measured the same volume and assumed the same packing. A cheaper quote that assumes you pack the kitchen is not a cheaper quote.
Nothing here carries a price, a rate card or a transit time, because none of those are knowable before a survey. What you get after the survey is a written figure for a stated inventory. Start on the quote form, or read the questions page for what usually comes up next.
Describe the property, where it is going, and whether anything needs holding in between. We read it, ask what is missing, and come back with a written quote.
