Who Our Packing and Boxes Service Is For

Homeowners

If you are moving house, our packing service saves you days of work and reduces the chance of breakages. We pack kitchens, glassware, ornaments, books, clothing, garages and lofts – all with care.

Renters

Tenants in Kennington often need to move on a specific date. We can pack your flat or house the day before or on moving day, helping you leave the property in good order and avoid damage disputes.

Landlords

For landlords dealing with furnished properties, we can pack and store items between tenancies, or prepare a property for renovation. We use robust, stackable boxes and clear labelling for inventory control.

Businesses

Office and commercial moves need planned, low‑disruption packing. We handle documents, IT equipment, stock, fixtures and fittings, using professional packing methods so your team can get back to work quickly.

Students

Students in and around Kennington often need smaller moves but still want their belongings protected. We offer affordable packing for rooms and small flats, with smaller cartons and wardrobe boxes for easy transport.

What We Pack – and What We Don’t

Items Typically Included

• Household items – kitchenware, glass, china, ornaments, books, clothing, bedding and toys
• Furniture protection – wrapping for tables, chairs, wardrobes, sofas and beds
• Electronics – TVs, computers, monitors, printers and small appliances
• Office contents – files, stationery, IT equipment, archives and stock
• Student belongings – textbooks, laptops, clothes, personal items and small furniture

Items We Cannot Pack

There are some things we are unable to pack or that require special arrangements:

• Hazardous materials – paint, solvents, gas cylinders, fuel, explosives
• Perishable food – fresh, frozen or open food likely to spoil in transit
• Live animals or plants – specialist carriers are recommended
• High‑value items – jewellery, important documents, cash (we advise you to carry these personally)

If you are unsure about a particular item, we are happy to advise.

Our Step‑by‑Step Packing and Moving Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

You contact Kennington Removals by phone or online and tell us what you need: full packing, part packing, or just boxes and materials. We ask a few questions about property size, access and timing, then provide a clear, no‑obligation quotation outlining what is included.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For larger homes or offices, we arrange a brief survey in Kennington – either onsite or via video. This allows us to assess volume, fragile items and any specialist packing needs. The survey ensures we supply the right number and sizes of boxes and send an appropriately sized professional team.

3. Packing & Preparation

On the agreed day, our trained packers arrive with all materials. We protect floors where needed, then carefully pack room by room. Fragile items are wrapped individually; boxes are filled correctly to avoid crushing and clearly labelled with room and contents. If required, we can also dismantle furniture and prepare appliances for moving.

4. Loading & Transport

Once packing is complete, our removals crew loads your boxes and furniture onto our vehicles. We use padded blankets, ties and load bars to prevent movement in transit. Your belongings are then transported directly to your new property or to storage, depending on your plan.

5. Unloading & Placement

At your new address, we unload boxes into the correct rooms based on the labels. We place furniture where you want it and can reassemble items we dismantled. If you have booked an unpacking service, we can also unpack boxes and remove used materials for reuse or recycling.

Transparent Pricing for Packing and Boxes

We keep our pricing straightforward and transparent. Costs are based on:

• Property size and volume of contents
• Level of service – full packing, part packing or supply of materials only
• Number of professional packers required
• Any specialist items (e.g. artwork, antiques, IT equipment)

Your written quotation will clearly show the cost of:

• Packing labour
• Boxes and packing materials
• Removals and transport (if booked with us)

We do not hide extra fees. If your requirements change, we discuss any price adjustments in advance so you stay in control of your budget.

Why Choose Professional Packing Instead of DIY or Man‑and‑Van

Self‑packing or using a casual man‑and‑van often seems cheaper, but it can be a false economy. Poor‑quality boxes, over‑loading and rushed packing are the main causes of breakages. Man‑and‑van operators may lack proper insurance or training, leaving you exposed if something goes wrong.

With Kennington Removals you benefit from:

• Trained packers using proven techniques
• High‑quality, double‑walled removal boxes
• Correct padding and protection for fragile items
• Organised labelling, saving time at the other end
• Full removals support if you choose us to move you as well

The result is a smoother move, reduced risk of damage, and less physical and mental strain.

Insurance and Professional Standards

As a responsible removals company, we operate to recognised standards and carry appropriate cover:

• Goods in transit insurance – protection for your belongings while they are being transported by us
• Public liability cover – peace of mind if accidental damage or injury occurs in the course of our work
• Trained moving teams – staff are instructed in safe lifting, secure packing and property protection

We treat your possessions as if they were our own and are happy to explain how our cover applies to your move in plain language.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We focus on careful handling and responsible use of materials. Our teams use:

• Purpose‑made removal cartons and wardrobe boxes
• Furniture blankets, mattress bags and sofa covers
• Paper and padding to reduce direct contact between items

Where possible, we reuse strong cartons, collect used boxes for recycling and minimise single‑use plastics. We also plan vehicle loads efficiently to avoid unnecessary journeys, helping to reduce our environmental impact while still giving your belongings maximum protection.

Common Real‑World Uses of Our Packing and Boxes Service

Moving House in Kennington

For local and long‑distance moves starting in Kennington, we can pack your entire home or just the rooms you find most daunting, such as the kitchen or loft. Many customers choose a full pack the day before the move so they can continue with work and family life up to the last moment.

Office and Business Relocations

Businesses rely on us for structured packing of files, IT equipment and stock. We can work outside office hours to minimise disruption, using colour‑coded labels so departments can be set up quickly at the new site. Our approach keeps downtime to a minimum.

Urgent and Short‑Notice Moves

Sometimes moves come up quickly – a buyer wants a fast completion, a tenancy end date is brought forward, or circumstances change. If we have availability, we can provide urgent packing and boxes in Kennington at short notice, helping you move safely even under time pressure.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does professional packing and boxes cost?

Costs depend on the size of your property, how much you want us to pack and whether you are booking removals with us as well. A one‑bed flat needing part packing will be considerably less than a full four‑bed house pack. After a short discussion or survey, we provide a clear written quote showing labour and materials separately. There are no hidden extras: if your needs change, we explain any price differences before going ahead so you can make an informed decision.

Can you help with same‑day or urgent packing in Kennington?

Where our schedule allows, we can assist with urgent or short‑notice packing in Kennington. Same‑day support is sometimes possible for smaller properties or part‑packing jobs, especially outside peak days. The more information you can give us when you call – such as property size, key dates and access – the easier it is for us to advise realistically. We will always be honest about what we can achieve safely without compromising the quality of packing or the protection of your belongings.

Are my belongings insured while you pack and move them?

Yes. We carry goods in transit insurance to protect your belongings while they are being transported in our vehicles, and public liability cover for work carried out on your premises. There are standard terms and limits, as with any policy, which we are happy to explain and provide in writing. Certain items, such as very high‑value jewellery or cash, are usually excluded and should be moved by you personally. Proper, documented packing by our trained team also helps support any claim if the unexpected happens.

What is included in your packing and boxes service?

Our service can be tailored, but typically includes supply of strong removal boxes, tape and wrapping materials, plus the labour to pack your belongings safely. We work room by room, label every box and can dismantle basic furniture if agreed. On moving day, our removals service covers loading, transport and unloading into the correct rooms. Optional extras include unpacking at the new address and removal of used packing materials. All inclusions are listed clearly on your quote so you know exactly what to expect.

How is your service different from a man‑and‑van?

A man‑and‑van service usually provides transport and lifting only, often with limited packing support and uncertain insurance. At Kennington Removals, you get professional packers, quality materials, structured labelling and documented cover. Our teams are trained in safe handling, and we plan each job properly, from survey to final placement of boxes. This reduces the risk of damage, avoids over‑loading vehicles and gives you a single, accountable company responsible for the whole process, not just the driving.

How far in advance should I book packing and boxes?

For the best choice of dates, we recommend booking as soon as you know your likely moving window, particularly if you are moving at month‑end or during school holidays. Two to four weeks’ notice is ideal for full‑house packing in Kennington, but we regularly accommodate shorter timescales. Even if your dates are not fully fixed, we can pencil you in and adjust as your plans firm up. Early contact also allows time for a survey and for us to advise on any special packing requirements.
