Wrapping & Protection
Packing and protection that actually prevents damage
Almost all moving damage happens for one of two reasons: something was not wrapped, or something was packed into a box with room to move. Both are avoidable, and both are cheaper to avoid than to claim for.
Blankets, shrink wrap, floor runners and door jamb protection are included on every job rather than sold as an upgrade. If you want us to pack as well, we bring proper materials — dish packs with cell dividers, wardrobe boxes with a hanging rail, mattress bags — instead of whatever boxes came free from a shop.
The building matters as much as the furniture. Scratched elevator panels and gouged hallway paint are the charges that actually turn into deposit deductions, so protection goes down before the first item moves.
What is included
- Moving blankets and shrink wrap — Every piece of furniture wrapped before it leaves the room, not once it is already at the door.
- Specialty boxes — Dish packs with dividers, wardrobe boxes with a rail, and mattress bags — the three things people most often improvise and regret.
- Fragile packing — Glass, mirrors, artwork and TVs packed with corner protection and rigid support.
- Building protection — Floor runners, door jamb guards and elevator pads, protecting the deposit as well as the furniture.
Who this is for
- Anyone who would rather not pack at all
- Households with fragile items, artwork or a lot of glassware
- Long-distance moves, where hours in transit make wrapping non-negotiable
- Loads going into storage, which need to survive being stationary as well as moved
What affects the price
Every move is quoted individually. These are the things that actually move the number, so you know what we will ask about.
- How much you want packed — a kitchen only, or the whole home
- Volume and type of materials used
- Number of genuinely fragile or high-value items
- Whether packing happens the day before or on the morning of the move
Common questions
- Is wrapping an extra charge?
- No. Blankets, shrink wrap, dollies, straps and floor protection are included on every move. Full packing — us boxing your belongings, with the boxes and materials — is the part that is quoted separately.
- Should I pack the kitchen myself?
- It is the one room most worth handing over. Kitchens take the longest and break the most, and dish packs with cell dividers make a real difference. If you only add packing for one room, make it that one.
