• Electronics – TVs, computers, printers and small appliances.

Our Step-by-Step Packing and Moving Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

You contact Finchley Movers by phone or online and tell us what you are moving, your dates and whether you need full or partial packing. We provide a clear, no-obligation quotation that outlines the cost of labour, boxes and materials, along with any additional services you may require.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

We arrange a survey to understand exactly what needs packing. This can be done by video call or in person. We assess volumes, fragile items, access, parking and any special requirements. This allows us to allocate the right team size, vehicle, number of boxes and protective materials.

3. Packing & Preparation

On the agreed day, our professional team arrives with all necessary packing materials: double-walled cartons, wardrobe boxes, bubble wrap, paper, tape and protective covers. We pack systematically, room by room, clearly labelling each box by room and contents so you can find items quickly at the other end. Furniture is wrapped and protected as required.

4. Loading & Transport

Once everything is packed and ready, we load your items onto our vehicles using safe lifting techniques and protective equipment. Boxes are stacked carefully to avoid crushing, and fragile items are secured. Your goods are then transported to your new home or office under our goods in transit insurance cover.

5. Unloading & Placement

On arrival, we unload and place boxes and furniture into the correct rooms as labelled. If you have chosen our unpacking service, we can also unpack selected boxes, place items on surfaces or into cupboards, and remove used packing materials for recycling or reuse.

Transparent Pricing for Packing and Boxes

We believe in clear and honest pricing. Your quote for Packing and Boxes in Finchley will typically include:

• Labour for our packing team.
• All agreed removal boxes and packing materials.
• Loading, transport and unloading as specified.
• Optional unpacking and box removal.

Costs depend on volume, level of packing required, access and distance. There are no hidden extras: any potential additional charges, such as late changes to inventory or difficult access, are discussed upfront. For smaller moves, we can offer fixed-price packages; for larger properties, pricing is typically based on cubic volume and labour time.

Why Choose Professional Packers Over DIY or Casual Man-and-Van

It’s tempting to save money by sourcing free boxes and packing yourself, or by hiring a casual man-and-van. In practice, this often leads to more stress, higher risk of damage and longer move times.

• Professional techniques – Correct wrapping, layering and box loading significantly reduce damage.
• Time saving – An experienced team can pack a property in a fraction of the time.
• Proper materials – Sturdy cartons, wardrobe boxes and furniture covers protect your belongings.
• Insurance-backed – Our work is covered by appropriate policies; informal help is not.
• Planned and reliable – Confirmed dates, arrival windows and written documentation.

By using Finchley Movers, you gain the reassurance of a professional, fully insured service that treats your possessions with care.

Insurance and Professional Standards

We work to clear, documented standards so you know exactly how your items are protected.

• Goods in transit insurance – Your belongings are covered while being transported, subject to our terms and declared values.
• Public liability cover – Protection in the unlikely event of accidental damage to third-party property or injury.
• Trained moving teams – Our staff are trained in safe handling, lifting and packing methods, not casual labourers.

We are committed to operating responsibly, turning up on time, working respectfully in your property and handling your possessions as if they were our own.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

Every move is different, but our principles remain the same: protect, respect and minimise waste. We use high-quality materials and appropriate padding to protect surfaces and items. Where possible, we reuse sturdy cartons and offer customers the chance to return boxes after their move so they can be used again. We also separate out damaged materials for appropriate recycling and plan routes efficiently to reduce unnecessary mileage.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does professional packing and boxes cost?

Pricing depends mainly on the volume of items, the level of packing required and the materials used. A small flat with partial packing will cost less than a full-house pack for a large property. Your quote will include labour, boxes, wrapping materials and any agreed extras such as unpacking. We provide a detailed breakdown so you can see exactly what you are paying for and where you might adjust the scope to suit your budget. There are no hidden charges when the inventory and access remain as quoted.

Can you provide same-day or urgent packing in Finchley?

Where our schedule allows, we can often help with same-day or short-notice packing and boxes in Finchley, especially for smaller properties or part-packing jobs. Availability will depend on team capacity, time of year and the size of your move. The best approach is to call us as soon as you know you need help; we’ll tell you honestly what we can do and offer practical alternatives if full packing is not realistic within the time available.

What insurance cover is included with your packing service?

Our service includes goods in transit insurance for your belongings while they are being transported on our vehicles, along with public liability cover for work we carry out in your property. Cover is subject to our standard terms and conditions and any declared values for high-value items. During the survey, we’ll explain how the cover works, what is included, and any limits that may apply, so you can make informed decisions and, if necessary, arrange additional insurance for exceptional items.

What is included in a typical packing and boxes service?

A standard service includes supply of removal boxes, tape, wrapping paper and protective materials, plus the labour to pack your agreed contents room by room. We label boxes clearly, protect furniture as required and prepare everything for loading. On moving day, we load, transport and unload into the correct rooms. Optional extras include unpacking, reassembly of basic furniture and removal of used packing materials. We confirm exactly what’s included in your written quotation so that expectations are clear on both sides.

How is a professional packing service different from a man-and-van?

A casual man-and-van usually offers basic transport with limited packing help and minimal protection. By contrast, Finchley Movers provides trained staff, quality materials, structured packing, clear documentation and full insurance cover. We plan the job in advance, conduct surveys where needed and take responsibility for safely preparing your items for transit. This reduces the risk of breakages, delays and disputes, and generally makes the entire move more predictable, efficient and less stressful, especially for larger or more complex relocations.

How far in advance should I book packing and boxes?

For most moves, we recommend booking at least two to four weeks in advance, particularly during busy periods such as the end of the month or summer. This gives us time to carry out a survey, prepare materials and schedule the right team. However, we understand that completion dates and tenancy agreements can change at short notice. If your plans are uncertain, contact us early; we can pencil in provisional dates and adjust where possible as your move becomes clearer.
