What’s Included in Our Package and Boxes Service

Typical Items We Pack and Protect

We carefully pack and box most household and office contents, including:

• Books, clothing, linen and everyday household items
• Kitchenware, crockery, glassware and small appliances
• TVs, monitors, computers and general electronics
• Pictures, mirrors and decorative items
• Office files, stationery, archives and light equipment
• Smaller furniture components and dismantled items

What’s Not Included or Needs Special Handling

For safety, legal and insurance reasons, there are some items we cannot pack or transport as standard:

• Hazardous materials (paint, fuel, solvents, gas cylinders)
• Perishable or frozen food
• Live plants and animals
• Cash, jewellery and high-value documents (we recommend you carry these yourself)
• Very high-value artwork or antiques without prior agreement

If you have anything unusual or particularly valuable, speak to us in advance so we can advise on suitable packing, insurance and handling.

How Our Packing and Boxes Process Works

We follow a clear step-by-step process so you always know what is happening and when.

1. Enquiry & Quote

You contact us with basic details: property size, location in Marylebone, access, and whether you need packing only or packing plus removal. We then provide a clear, no-obligation quote outlining what is included, recommended materials and any optional extras.

2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

For anything more than a small flat, we usually carry out a virtual or onsite survey. This allows us to see the volume of items, identify fragile or specialist pieces and assess access and parking in Marylebone. It also helps us plan the right team size, number of boxes and packing materials you will need.

3. Packing & Preparation

On your chosen day, our trained packing team arrives with all materials. We:

• Protect furniture with covers, pads and wrap
• Pack room by room, labelling boxes clearly by room and contents
• Use appropriate padding for fragile items and electronics
• Prepare items for loading, including basic dismantling where agreed

You can choose between a full packing service or fragile-only packing if you prefer to handle the easy items yourself.

4. Loading & Transport

Once everything is boxed and ready, our removals team carefully loads items onto our vehicles. Loads are secured to minimise movement during transport. All goods are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are in our care, whether you are moving within Marylebone or beyond.

5. Unloading & Placement

At your new property, we unload boxes to the correct rooms based on the labelling system used during packing. If you have booked an unpacking service, we can also unbox and place items on surfaces, and remove used packing materials for recycling or reuse.

Transparent Pricing for Package and Boxes in Marylebone

We believe in clear, upfront pricing with no hidden extras. Our package and boxes costs are usually based on:

• Volume of items (number of rooms / boxes)
• Type of service (materials only, partial packing or full packing)
• Property access and parking in Marylebone
• Any special packing requirements for fragile or high-value items

We can supply packing materials only if you prefer to pack yourself, or provide a complete service including labour, boxes and move-day support. All charges are explained in advance in writing so you can budget with confidence.

Why Choose Professional Packing Over DIY

Many people start with good intentions and soon realise that packing is more time-consuming and stressful than expected. Using a professional packing service offers clear advantages:

• Correct materials and techniques to reduce the risk of damage
• Quicker, more organised packing carried out by an experienced team
• Better use of space in boxes and vehicles, often reducing the number of trips
• Reduced risk of personal injury from lifting or over-packed boxes
• Clear labelling so unpacking is faster and more straightforward

Compared with a casual man-and-van, our service includes trained staff, proper planning, and documented insurance cover, giving you significantly more protection.

Insurance and Professional Standards

Marylebone Man and Van operates to high professional standards to protect both you and your belongings.

• Goods in transit insurance – covers your belongings while they are being transported in our vehicles.
• Public liability cover – protects you and your property in the unlikely event of accidental damage during our work.
• Trained moving teams – our staff are physically capable, carefully vetted and experienced in safe handling and packing techniques.

Details of cover levels are available on request, and we can discuss additional protection for very high-value items where appropriate.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We treat your belongings as we would our own. During packing we:

• Use appropriate padding, wrapping and boxing for each item type
• Keep fragile and heavy items separate for safer handling
• Protect floors, banisters and doorways where needed during move day

We also consider the environmental impact of our work. Wherever possible we:

• Reuse sturdy cartons for non-fragile items
• Offer box collection after your move for reuse or recycling
• Select recyclable packing materials and minimise single-use plastics

The aim is to balance strong protection for your items with responsible use of materials.

Real-World Use Cases in Marylebone

Moving House in Marylebone

For families and individuals moving between flats or houses, we provide full packing, loading, transport and unpacking. Our local knowledge of Marylebone streets and access points helps us plan parking, timing and vehicle size effectively.

Office and Business Relocations

For offices, clinics, shops and other businesses, we offer structured packing for documents, IT and stock. We can work outside normal hours to minimise disruption and ensure everything is clearly labelled so your team can get back to work quickly.

Urgent and Short-Notice Moves

If you need to move at short notice, our packing service can be the difference between a chaotic rush and an organised relocation. Subject to availability, we can often arrange same-day or next-day packing and boxes in Marylebone, focusing on essential items first and building from there.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does your package and boxes service cost?

Costs depend mainly on the size of your property, the volume of items to be packed and the level of service you choose. Supplying boxes and materials only is the most economical option, while full packing and unpacking for a larger home will cost more due to labour time. After a brief phone consultation and, if needed, a survey, we provide a clear written quote detailing materials, labour and any additional services. There are no hidden extras, and we are happy to tailor the service to suit your budget.

Can you handle same-day or urgent packing in Marylebone?

We can often help with same-day or urgent packing in Marylebone, depending on current bookings and the size of the job. For smaller flats, student moves or partial packing, we can usually arrange quick turnaround support at short notice. Larger homes and offices may require at least a day’s preparation and planning. If you are working to a tight deadline, contact us as early as possible and we will let you know what is realistically achievable and how we can prioritise key rooms or items.

What insurance cover do you provide for packed items?

All items that we pack and transport are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are in our vehicles. We also maintain public liability cover for work carried out in your home or business premises. Our team is experienced in safe packing, lifting and loading, which minimises the risk of damage. If you have particularly valuable artwork, antiques or specialist equipment, we recommend discussing these with us in advance so we can confirm appropriate cover and, if necessary, arrange additional protection.

What exactly is included in the package and boxes service?

Our service can be as simple or as comprehensive as you need. At a basic level, we can supply a range of quality boxes, tape, paper and bubble wrap for you to use. Many clients choose our full service, where our team arrives with all materials, packs your belongings room by room, labels everything, prepares furniture and then works alongside our removals team on move day. We can also offer unpacking at your new property and removal of used packing materials, leaving you with a tidy, manageable space.

How is this different from a basic man-and-van service?

A basic man-and-van service usually offers transport only, with limited packing help and little or no formal insurance or planning. Our approach is different: we provide professional, planned packing, quality materials, clear labelling and structured loading and unloading. Our trained moving teams understand handling, access and protection, and your goods are covered by our insurance while in transit. The result is a more secure, efficient and predictable move, especially important for fragile items, larger properties or business relocations.

How far in advance should I book packing and boxes?

For the smoothest experience, we recommend booking your packing and boxes service at least one to two weeks before your planned move date, especially during busy periods such as month-end and summer. This gives us time to carry out a survey if needed, reserve the right team size and ensure materials are ready. However, we regularly help clients on shorter notice. Even if your date is close, contact us and we will advise on availability and the best way to prioritise your packing.
