Who Our Packing and Boxes Service Is For
Homeowners
If you are selling or buying in Egham, our complete packing service takes care of your entire household. We pack kitchens, bedrooms, lofts and garages, ensuring fragile items and family heirlooms are carefully wrapped and clearly labelled for the new property.
Renters
For tenants in flats, house shares and rental homes, we offer flexible partial packing or full packing. We can focus on kitchens, fragile items and breakables while you handle clothing and personal items, or we can manage everything if you are on a tight schedule.
Landlords
Landlords often need contents packed quickly and carefully between tenancies. We can pack, itemise and store or transport furniture and appliances, helping you protect your investment and keep your property turnaround on track.
Businesses
Offices, shops and small businesses in Egham rely on us for commercial packing. We use appropriate cartons, crate systems and anti‑static protection for IT equipment, files and stock. All boxes are clearly labelled by department or room to streamline unpacking at the new premises.
Students
Students moving to or from Egham benefit from simple, cost‑effective packing support. We can supply sturdy boxes and materials, or offer a light packing service for books, tech and fragile items so you can concentrate on your studies and deadlines.

Our Step-by-Step Packing and Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact Egham Removals by phone or online with basic details: property size, location, move date and level of packing help required. We provide a clear, no‑obligation quotation outlining packing options, materials, labour and any additional services so you can make an informed decision.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
We arrange a virtual or onsite survey to assess volume, access and any special requirements. This allows us to plan how many boxes, which materials and how many packers are needed, and to identify fragile, antique or high‑value items needing extra protection.
3. Packing & Preparation
On the agreed packing day, our trained team arrives with all materials. We protect floors and key surfaces, then methodically pack room by room. Boxes are filled and padded correctly to avoid crushing, with clear labels for room and key contents. Furniture is wrapped or dismantled where required, ready for safe loading.
4. Loading & Transport
Once packing is complete, our removals crew loads your boxes and furniture into our vehicles using tried‑and‑tested stacking methods and protective blankets. Everything is securely tied and stabilised for transit, then transported directly to your new address or to storage, depending on your plan.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your destination, we unload and place boxes and furniture into the correct rooms following your labels and instructions. If you have chosen our unpacking service, we will unpack agreed items and remove used boxes and packaging for reuse or recycling.
Transparent Pricing for Packing and Boxes
We believe in clear, straightforward pricing. Your quote will break down:
- Cost of packing labour (hourly or fixed, depending on job size)
- Cost of boxes and packing materials supplied
- Any specialist cartons or protective materials
- Optional unpacking or dismantling/reassembly services
Prices depend on property size, volume of contents, access, and the level of packing you choose (full, partial or fragile‑only). There are no hidden charges: everything is agreed in advance and confirmed in writing.
Why Choose Professional Packing Instead of DIY or Casual Man-and-Van
Many people start packing themselves and quickly realise how time‑consuming and physically demanding it can be. Professional packing offers several advantages:
- Trained techniques to minimise breakages and damage
- Correct choice of box sizes and materials for each item type
- Systematic labelling so you can find essentials immediately
- Faster completion, often in a single day, even for larger homes
- Reduced stress and disruption to work and family life
Compared with a casual man‑and‑van, a professional removals company like Egham Removals offers structured packing, clear documentation, insurance protection and accountability if anything goes wrong.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Your belongings are important, and we treat them that way. Egham Removals provides:
- Goods in transit insurance – covering your possessions while they are being moved
- Public liability cover – for your peace of mind in and around your property
- Trained moving teams – staff who are experienced in safe lifting, packing and handling
We follow industry best practice for packing, lifting and vehicle loading, and regularly review our methods and training to maintain high standards of safety and care.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
Protecting your belongings and the environment go hand in hand. We aim to:
- Use strong, reusable removal boxes wherever possible
- Offer collection and reuse of cartons after your move
- Recycle packing paper and cardboard responsibly
- Use protective blankets and reusable covers instead of excessive plastics where practical
We also take care to protect your property: floor coverings, banister protection and careful handling of large items help prevent scuffs or damage during the packing and moving process.
Real-World Use Cases for Our Packing and Boxes Service
Moving House in Egham
For families and individuals moving house, our full packing service can be completed the day before removal, leaving you free to focus on final paperwork, keys and utilities. We ensure essentials are clearly marked, so you can access bedding, toiletries and kitchen items on your first night.
Office Relocations
Businesses rely on minimal downtime. We can pack offices outside normal working hours, label boxes by department and workstation, and use suitable protection for IT and sensitive documents. This organised approach makes set‑up at the new office faster and more efficient.
Urgent or Short-Notice Moves
Occasionally moves have to happen quickly due to work, tenancy or personal changes. When our schedule allows, we can provide rapid packing and boxes support in Egham, sending a team to pack your property safely but efficiently, helping you meet tight deadlines without sacrificing care.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a packing and boxes service cost?
The cost depends on the size of your property, the volume of belongings and how much of the packing you want us to handle. A small flat with a fragile‑only service will cost less than a full pack of a large family home. Your quote will separate labour and materials so you can see exactly what you are paying for. We are happy to discuss different options to suit your budget, including supplying boxes only, partial packing, or a complete end‑to‑end service.
Can you help with same-day or urgent packing in Egham?
Where our schedule allows, we can assist with same‑day or short‑notice packing in Egham. Availability depends on the size of the job and how many packers are required, so the earlier you contact us, the better. For urgent situations, we focus on key areas first, such as kitchens, fragile items and essential belongings, then work through the rest as time permits. We will always be honest about what can be achieved safely within your timeframe.
Are my belongings insured while you pack and move them?
Yes. Egham Removals provides goods in transit insurance for your items while they are being moved, along with public liability cover for work at your property. Insurance details and limits are explained in your quotation and terms, and we are happy to answer any questions you may have. We always encourage customers to tell us about particularly high‑value items so we can give them extra attention and ensure they are properly documented and packed.
What is included in a typical packing and boxes service?
A standard service includes the supply of suitable boxes, packing paper, bubble wrap and tape, plus the labour to pack agreed rooms and items. We carefully wrap fragile belongings, fill and label boxes, and prepare furniture for transport. Optional extras include dismantling and reassembly, unpacking at your new property, and removal or recycling of used boxes. We will discuss your preferences during the survey so the service is tailored to your needs, rather than a one‑size‑fits‑all approach.
How is a professional service different from a man-and-van?
A casual man‑and‑van service typically provides transport and basic loading only. In contrast, a professional removals company like Egham Removals offers structured planning, trained staff, appropriate packing materials, systematic labelling and full insurance cover. We take responsibility for the safe packing and handling of your goods, not just their transport. This reduces the risk of damage, saves you time, and gives you clearer recourse if anything goes wrong during the move.
How far in advance should I book packing and boxes?
For the best choice of dates, we recommend booking at least two to four weeks before your move, especially during busy periods such as month‑end and summer. This gives us time to carry out a survey, plan the correct number of boxes and packers, and schedule packing for the ideal day before your removal. However, we understand that not all moves are planned far in advance, so we will always try to accommodate shorter notice bookings where our diary allows.
